Hello everyone,
Happy September. Some pretty flowers and our Living Room reveal. Back in November 2014 We purchased new living room furniture. In May of 2015 we had our living room painted, bought new carpeting and new sheers for our windows. The old sheers were 25 years old. We still have the same drapes, because they are in perfect condition.
This is our new sofa. I just love the color and fabric.
This is our old sofa and chairs. I took this photo last fall. Go Here to see the story of our furniture purchase.
This is one end table with our advent candle chime, which I have always had in our living room on an end table year round for over fifty years. The candy dish was my mom's and she always had candy for visitors to enjoy. The old world globe was in our home when I was a child. It has all the old countries of Europe, before they were consolidated by larger more powerful countries. It is so interesting to see how the world has changed in the past 75 years.
The sofa looks like leather, but it's not. I wanted a sofa with nail trim. A cloche filled with decorative pieces of wood and natural straw balls.
I love my Wicker Demijohn...

A little basket on our coffee table with my vintage L.E. Smith amber candy dish with a straw ball and a little ceramic duck.
Nothing expresses the month of the September better than Sunflowers.
What is my style? Comfortable and cozy. I decorate with what I love. I love
wildlife. The vintage duck decoys belonged to my dad. When I was young my dad would go duck hunting every winter and put the duck decoys in the river to attract other ducks. My dad was amazing. He would bring home a limit of ducks every time.
Some pillow love.
While my granddaughter and I were shopping at K Mart for school supplies
I spotted this pillow

That is a lovely and inviting couch. I really llike your warm and cozy living room. Thanks so much for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteA very nice change in your living room. I like the darker, earth tones.
ReplyDeleteahhh, I love your new furniture and room...I know how proud you are because we just got a new sofa and we want to paint but have really high ceiling in this newer home and need to save a bit for a professional painter. In the meantime, I just embrace the Tuscan Gold of the walls for now.
ReplyDeleteHappy Pinks...
Your living room looks so pretty and I love your leather couch. TFS and coming over from A Tray of Bliss blog party.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the weekend.

Your living room looks great. I love that sofa.
ReplyDeleteBetty I agree. I don't have a 'style' as such. I just fill my home with things that make my heart sing. I love your new sofa. We have Chesterfields in classic burgundy, and they're 12 years old and still look new. They were expensive but we'll never need another lounge, and hopefully they'll be family heirlooms. As a bonus, they're surprisingly comfortable. Your little sunflower vignette is gorgeous too. Thanks for sharing at Five Star Frugal at A Tray of Bliss. Love, Mimi xxx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Fall touches and I love your new sofa...It does look like leather but I bet its a lot more warm and less maintenance then leather. No conditioning it to keep it maintained.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful living room!
Redecorating is always lots of fun. It looks like you enjoyed yours. Stopping by from Mosaic Monday
ReplyDeleteThe new couch looks comfortable as is your style for decorating. A cute pillow you picked up too!

ReplyDeleteHi Betty! Oh, I love your changes. The new sofa is gorgeous and it sure does look like leather. Love your sweet yellowy pillow too. That globe is a treasure. My hubby keeps saying he'd love to find one. The nice ones like yours are not easy to find these days. Love all the little treasures from your family. Your room looks so inviting and cozy! Yay for you! :)
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,

Nice blog and great photos. I especially like the photo of all the tea cups. Your living room looks lovely I'm glad you have been able to do it up exactly as you like it. It looks nicer then before. I love all the little vintage touches like the lamp shade; very retro.

form is present in the foam part of the mattress. This means that the lower the density rating, the lower amount of raw material has actually been used to make the memory foam layer, which means that the air cavities or cells are much bigger. The higher the density, the heavier the truck mattress

ReplyDeleteเกม Candy Dreams ของทางค่าย Evoplay Slot เกมนี้มาในธีมลูกอมและขนมหวานสไตล์เดียวกับ Candy Crush
แต่จะเน้นโทนสีพาสเทล ฟ้าอ่อน ชมพูอ่อน เหมือนขนมสายไหมและมาชเมลโล่ ให้ความรู้สึกหวานแหววและฟูนุ่มเบาสบาย สาว ๆ เห็นแล้วน่าจะชอบเกมนี้ไม่น้อย
