I am having fun decorating the house. I don't know our style yet but I know we are poor so I have taken to thrift stores. I was content with keeping our old couch and loveseat but I wanted new ones since we had a new house. :) So, while Kraig works, (since I am banned to do much in the house) I go shopping. I found a marvelous burnt orange chair last night.
I had to have it. Being a TN fan and all and just how vintage it looked...and it reclines which is a plus for Kraig. So, we purchased it. Then, today whilst waiting on the dogs at the groomer's, I went to thrifting again. I am in the search for lamps/lighting for the living room because there is none. I did not find any lamps/lighting but I did find a new couch with a hide-a-bed which will come in handy with all of Kraig's family coming in town this summer at different times. I just fell in love with this one.
It's a paisley print from Ethan Allen. Apparently, the well-to-do lady who this came from decided she wanted to buy a 1.2 million dollar condo and redo it with new Ethan Allen stuff so another person's trash can become someone's treasure. It is rather busy for me but I think with the orange chair and the new off white loveseat I want to purchase, and maybe some solid colored pillows, I think it will tone it down just enough for us.
I just can't wait to get it in the house and have everything how I want it. Now, for the shelving/storage for the living room. I want crates and an old dresser. I'll be on the lookout for those in the upcoming weeks. :) And baby furniture....ugh...never ends
And we need to sell our old couch....so if anyone is interested, let us know :)
Happy thrift customer :)
