The Furniture Is Here! The Furniture Is Here!

I am so excited! I finally have my living room back! Even though it has not taken nearly as long as it FELT like it took (no, Amy, it wasn't four months) it is so nice to have it done. Wanna see some pictures? Even more than you bargained for? If you make it through to the end you can even give me your opinions!

First we have a full on view of the sofa. The body is the diamond pattern and the cushions are solid velvet.

Here is a kinda side view. In real life there is just a very subtle sheen to all three fabrics, but when I took pictures all of a sudden there was this LIGHT everywhere! It's crazy!



Here is the best chair in the world. When it finally wears out and can't be revived with any more batting or slipcovers I don't know what I will do. Seriously it is the best thing ever. It's so deep and wide and my very favorite place to sit in the whole house. Everybody likes it, including my dog, Molly. We have to puppy-proof it when we leave so she doesn't get up on it. This involves putting the back cushion sideways on the seat cushion and putting hardback books on both the chair and the ottoman. She's a little thick and can't get it through her skull that just because we aren't here doesn't mean she gets free reign of the furniture. Goof.



Here is a closer shot of the arm of my favorite chair.



A different angle which includes a book and my glasses. Stupid over 40 eyes.



Here is a close up of the ottoman fabric. It's the same fabric as the cording on the cushions. And the cording of the ottoman is the diamond pattern.





Here's a shot from the doorway of the dining room. My entertainment center needs to stay on that wall because it's about the only place it will fit. But if you have any suggestions on other furniture placement, I'm all ears.



A couple from the front door area.





And here's one from the corner looking towards the dining room.



And here's one of the whole wall where the couch is. I would love to do THIS behind my couch but it would make it come too far out in the room and would block my access to the bookcase in the corner. Unless I figured out a different place for the bookcase or moved the couch down toward the dining room doorway a bit. Or moved the couch to a completely different area. I also notice that the green(s) of my walls look so much different in real life. Do they "go"? Should I paint them more of a neutral?



Thanks for looking and visiting me in my home!

Ooh, I love it! I looks so soft and comfy, like you could just curl up in your jammies with a blanket and some hot chocolate!

Whoops, sorry, no food or drinks on the new furniture, right?

Darn.

Even better than I imagined! I'm not a good imaginer. Or decorator.

The green totally looks different than it does in person. Weird, huh?

I love, love, love it!

First of all, I like your green walls. Second, the furniture turned out great. I love your fabrics. Certainly it was worth the wait, and I agree, it SEEMED like four months ago you were talking about it.

Yay for new slipcovers! They look wonderful. I like the two fabrics on the sofa. That chair is perfect for doing handwork. The arms are nice ledges for threads and scissors.
