Living Room Lovin'


Last week, I showed you a picture of what my living room looks like currently.
It's lovely, but I'm ready to start making a few changes that I've been waiting to make.

As you know, I've been trying to decide how to re-do my new bamboo chairs that
I found at the Fort Worth flea market last month.

My biggest challenge has been deciding how to use the chairs to compliment the living room that they will
be sitting directly across from.

 
This weekend, my friend Lauren and I were playing around with fabrics and I think I've finally settled on a combo that I adore.

The fabric combo I chose.

I already have a Schumacher Hot House Flowers pillow in the Verdance colorway.
The cream and mustard floral pattern was holding the place of a similar colored throw I already have that I will be using.

I loved the Trina Turk Peacock Fabric in blue, but I didn't want to make everything in my house
look totally "Palm Beachy" in case I get tired of that look.

I also want my living area to be sophisticated and to grow with my tastes.

So here's what I came up with:





 I'm wanting a tan leather chesterfield and to have my wingback chair recovered in tan linen.
I also plan to recover a slipper chair in tan linen with an aqua detail at the bottom.

I really like the idea of my bamboo chairs in a gloss navy with the Trina Turk peacock print.

The pillows for my couch would be an olive green velvet, to tie in the olive tone in the peacock print.
In front of those pillows, I plan to use Schumacher's Shantung Silhouette in Mineral.
Which, I'm pretty much obsessed with.

And I think I've settled on getting a burlwood coffee table.
It's just too amazing and mid-century.

Even though these colors are more muted than what I'm currently into,
I think they're timeless.

Thoughts Party People?
