So far we’ve gone from this:
to this:
Here’s what I’m dreaming of to finish the look:
a sectional (this one is on sale, and the hubby approves… might be a “go”!)
a reading lamp for some eye-level lighting
this chair, which swivels– perfect solution for both chatting and t.v. viewing
I also picked up this end table at Habitat Restore a few months ago. I’m thinking a coating of high-gloss black spray paint?
Also on the lookout for a sofa table to go on the wall in below my canvas photo gallery. I’ve been scouring thrift stores and Craigs List to find the perfect one to makeover. I’ll know it when I see it!
My addiction to fabric is made all the stronger by these patterns, which I hope to make into pillows:
Hoping that the pillows will look somewhat like this, featured on Young House Love the other day:
A few more inspiration photos to drool over (all apologies, I don’t have the sources for most. Please let me know if one of the photos is yours and I’ll give you credit!)

We are renovating our home, and I would love some new living room furniture to update the look. I love the sectional you have picked out. It looks classy but comfortable at the same time. Also, that swivel chair is fantastic! I might need a pair of those in my house. Thanks for these ideas and the inspiration!

Very Nice and beautiful decor designs… I love the living area furniture.. We also made wooden furniture over the 30 years in India.

That sectional sofa looks so comfy and would love to stay there all day reading books or checking emails! Its color is best for a living room, it looks warm to eyes. It must be great choice!
