Green with envy..

 

Love tufting and I love the idea of putting it in such a fun color.  It would be amazing mixed with simple white and black don't you think?

Oh my...

 

Oh my... this space makes everything better..  I am going to vent a little... so please forgive me..

Please please everyone remember that every site and every blog has a person behind it or people.  Real people!  People who are hurt by anything rude or inappropriate that you send around about them. Anywhere.  Especially via email, these come right to the inbox- right here on my computer {hello}!  If you are going to take the time to write something and hit the send or post button you should at the very least sign it and realize that I will have a way to contact you maybe even with your very own email address.  So once again if you don't have anything nice to say please do not say anything at all, because to me and so many of us this is all very personal!  Be nice, there is no reason not to!

Okay now- is this room not totally amazing?  I love the color change on the walls I love the soft lines of the linen on the sofa and the combination of textures and pattern in the pillows.  This makes me happy!

Reading spot...

 

Feeling a bit under the weather today... too many plans can make you tired I think.  

This would be the perfect place to take a few hours and leisurely read with a big cup of tea.

Wishing you a restful Saturday!

Neutrals with One Kings Lane

 

 

One Kings Lane is currently running a color event.  Of course my favorites are the neutrals..  There are some great pieces here to get you going on a space with grey accents.  I am loving the sofa and the rug a little too much I think!  If you just want to add a touch of my favorite neutral I am thinking you need these patent leather bound books..

Graham and Green

 

I have recently discovered Graham and Green, a British company with some really great designs.  This is what browsing around the internet can get me in an evening.  Don't you just adore the first sofa piece?  Note the contrasting buttons- why didn't I think of that?   It reminds me of the vintage piece that I am hoping to pick up next week from the upholsterer.  I suggest you take at least a moment to be inspired by their collections, I love them!

upholstery...

 

I am so excited today is the big day that I take my sweet new sofa to the upholsterer!  I know that sounds crazy but it took me a while to decide on the fabric and then the pillows and so now that the fabric has arrived I am so excited to get this project underway.  I chose a dark charcoal linen for the sofa and one of Windsor Smith's new fabrics from Kravet for pillows, Kaveka in Java.  I am going to mix in some vintage fabrics with them. 

It is going to be a completely different look for my space as my sofa now is slipcovered in natural linen.  Very exciting around here!  I will also be picking up some other pieces that I have been waiting for so I can finally take some photos of the new and improved dining room too.

What do you think?  Very dramatic right?

Tufted sofa love...

So I am completely smitten with the tufted vintage style sofa, chesterfield or not I am loving the fun styles out there.  I have a simple high back sofa in my living room from Cisco brothers that has served me well for years- I think 7 or 8 years to be exact and it is still in great shape.  However, you know as well as anybody that girls like me like to day dream.  When I day dream it is about furniture and travel typically.  (the photo below makes me weak!)  So anyway long story short, or vice versa now, I was not shopping for a sofa but you know how things happen when you least expect it, I found a beauty that I could not resist!

 

This one is so cute with the contrast of the nail heads...

 

This little beauty looks vintage but it is not..

Love the yellow but I know it is not for me...

 

So here she is my new to me vintage sofa... LOVE LOVE LOVE   the only question now is which fabric and which color??

Do I go with linen in a natural tone, linen in a charcoal grey, velvet in a light grey??  Oh the delimas I get myself into! 

What do you think?  I am over the moon- it was the perfect find for a ridiculously low  price (I am not sure I should say).  I will say that flea market shopping is some of the best shopping EVER!

Wood Texture..

 

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend so far!  I am not sure that we could ever use all of that wood even over several years!  But I like the cozy idea of it and oh how wonderful are those floors.
