Change is a coming...again
As much as I like to think everything stays the same around here...things do change!
Change came when Brian and I combined households. One of the many additions when he took up residence was his very large and very brown leather couch....
I featured the club chair makeover here
BB (before Brian) I had a light and bright couch....this couch went to the den....
(My daughter now has this living room...the couch, the leather chair and the rug!)
...after I gave away the hulking "mustard" couch!
The simple yellow couch went to my daughter's so for now the big brown couch has moved to the den ....
...to make room for the NEW couch I ordered two months ago...
...and as you can see, it has still not arrived.
There was a time when I probably would have ordered off the floor because I was too impatient to wait. But wait I have...and waited and waited and waited. Fortunately, it is due to be delivered today.
The biggest problem I have right now is the "matchy matchy" of the big brown leather couch and big brown leather chair in the den...
....so the new couch may go to the den and the big brown leather couch may go back to the living room.
Who knows...all I know is I am grateful for furniture movers and Brian's strong back and endless patience!
One disadvantage (or advantage, depending on your perspective) to going to auctions and having a resell outlet is the never ending supply of relatively affordable furniture. This Duncan Phyfe table was a fixture in my dining room for 15 years....
Then I found this really nifty antique table and shared how I refinished it here....
Then I found a really nifty trestle table and shared it's little makeover here....
I held onto this table for a time only because I thought I might follow the "farmhouse fad" and try to infuse a little in my dining area. But truth is, it always seemed a tad big...and honestly, it just isn't "my style."
A few weeks ago I snagged this cute little antique draw leaf table at an auction....
Not sure I am in love with it, but it suits the need for a smaller table nested against the wall and it can be expanded once a year for Thanksgiving dinner.
So, change is coming...when the couch gets here. It has been over two months since I ordered it so I hope I still LOVE it when it is delivered. Couches are one of those things I really need to love...because they are big and they are expensive and for me they are the anchor for the room. Rugs, pillows, tables and wall decor can easily be changed out to completely change the feel of a room...couches, not so much!
