Well it has been 5 years since I moved into this house and since I am definiately the type of person that lives in her house hard, it is time for new sofa's, rugs and an overall update. Being that I moved in with tons of furniture from our last house some of my choices in furnishings I am stuck with.
This go around I have much more knowledge of furnishings, rugs, draperies, lighting....need I go on? Great, right? This should be a breeze! Wrong!!! Now I know too much, can't make a decision - brass tables, linen wrapped table - velvet on my favorite chair or a print? I have decided to take this journey to the people, sometimes writing things down clears it up.
The first picture that I am posting today is my living room in its current state, seriously undone. I have purchased two beautiful sofas from Lee Industries with a gold tone silk tape from Samuel and Sons bordered in larger brown tape by Hymen & Hendler. There are currently two sunburst mirrors from Two's Company and the seagrass carpets are from Frank's Cane and Rush. The only side table I have purchases thus far is a vintage low square mirrored piece from Meg Braff Designs on Forest Avenue in Locust Valley that I have decided to place next to the settee and I love it!
Here is a pic in it's current state. The room is rather large (25' x 26") and being that the fireplace is centered I am forced to create one living space. I have a small reading space in the far left corner that is quite cozy but the chair needs reupholstering. My new settee needs a fabulous new fabric as well. We are still a long, long way from complete. Chairs are missing, pillows are from the old living room - I just keep them there so my gorgeous dog Oscar won't jump on my new sofas. LOL! Tables are on their way! I cannot commit to any of the accessories, if you look carefully they still have price tags on them! I need amazing x benches and a sofa table to balance the space. Stay tuned!
My Baby Boy!!!
