♫~ THE SOFA ♪♪

I'm not quite finished with our living room...
are we EVER..??

But I am anxious for you to see the new sleeper sofa
in the BEST gray.....


I decided on using twin floor lamps, after all..

I bought the one back in early summer and really loved it...
after the sofa was in place, I could see I didn't need those $6 tables
I bought at the thrift store.....
and that another floor lamp would be awesome.
Kirkland's even had a sale going so I brought the twin home with me.

The photo on the left is from Kirkland's site.
*


I LOVE these lamps but I didn't care for the shape of their shade and they
were TOO white....
 so I replaced them with a little different shape, a tad larger
and a softer white.
*

I didn't think I'd have room for my coffee table  which is why
I thought I needed the end tables....


This isn't a great picture  but wanted to give you an idea
of the seating arrangement...
behind the black and white chairs are the wicker desk and the hutch.


The faux sheepskin rug is looking good on the vintage French coffee table....


and there's those dried roses I did back in the summer...still lookin' good...



...a cute pillow from Pottery Barn


This Parson chair said, "Let me slip into something more comfortable..."


Books stacked on my little round table...
but you should see the chaos  on the desk and floor behind the chairs..
the entire contents of the hutch...


Thanks for coming by to look...
I'll be tweaking this room from now on....
that's what women do.....right ?

My hutch is finished....well, NEARLY finished....
I'll show ya a little later..


My new Better Homes and Gardens magazine came in as I was finishing this post...
their gray sofa and gray plaid on the left... mine on the right...
It always makes me feel great when I see something in a high-end magazine
that very much resembles something I have chosen....
(and of COURSE, 
now I am wanting a chair that I can reupholster in a gray and white plaid...) 
*WHEW...
this decorating thing never ends, does it..!! ??

    Oh bj, the sofa looks sooooo great!! The pillows are so pretty on it, and I love the new slipcover on the parsons chair. Your guests will be super comfy on your new sleeper sofa. The touches of Aqua look amazing in the room, too. And no, we are never finished tweaking a room. It must be in our blood!

    BJ,
    Absolutely gorgeous, dear friend!!!
    The floor lamps are "perfection"!!!
    Love the gray throw and your pillow cushions!!!
    The seating arrangement across from the sofa is charming!!!
    Perhaps a gray plaid chair will find its way to your door. . .special delivery!!!
    A girl can dream, can't she???
    Fondly,
    Pat

    I love your sofa! I was going to get a gray sofa but my Mom gave me her less then one year old sleeper sofa in denim and well I couldn't pass up that bargain. So I'm trying to decide a new color palette for my living room. Its a mess right now but it's home! Love you living room so much. Great job!

Way too much spam and people commenting that are stealing my space to post nonsense so.....no comments allowed.
So sorry but I have no other choice.
I love my blogging friends and most of all my family but these spam prone people are so rude and selfish have made my blogging not nearly as much fun..
