A LIVING ROOM - FINALLY!

Back in May we ordered living room furniture.  We

have never had new living room furniture before. 

 No, we always bought antiques or had

 repurposed pieces, used furniture or something

that was given to us.

  Another words, this was a big deal.
Don't think we don't have antiques too
because we have lots of those around.

Both sofa's are moss green but my camera made
the bigger
 one looks more limey than it really is:

My husband has a plum colored lazy boy:

Since we have a teenage grandson and a close to

teenage granddaughter - we wanted something

comfortable the whole family could enjoy.

So yesterday I sewed some vintage floral fabric

pillows for summer and I will look forward 
to changing things through out other seasons. 
Of course - these can be tossed on the floor
when the "grans" come over.  I also made
a summery skirted cover for the footstool out of
this and that.

The rug to the left just got "repaired" (I did a "fake job") 
 as my son's dog pulled a thread on it pulling many, many
 years back and it has been in the mending pile for a long time.
  

And this is my view from where I sit and what
I love the most:

So there you have it.  I still hope to find a curtain rod
place a lace panel on each side of the window unit.

  The goal is also to get that DVD player into
 the walnut buffet too -
 more stuff to do!
