Changes and Choices

 The 3 sofas I ordered,finally arrived..   Very nice and helpful delivery folks but that was the high point of that experience.  The sofas themselves were CRAP~!  We only took one out of its packaging , wrapped it back up and all 3 went back to the truck..     I didnt get disheartened,, just a bit disappointed.   I know things turn out exactly as they are meant to be and I had no doubt this would be the case in this experience.

   Sofas returned to the store-  money returned to my account and the search began again.

I was on my way  to do my grocery shopping and drove right by a local furniture store. On my way back I thought, oh heck, stop in there and just look.   In I went, and directly to my right sat a beautiful  loveseat n sofa set in a very very pale tan with tiny white threads running through the cloth..  the sign said- Last One, get it while you can and thats exactly what I did.    My soul was Singing -wooooooohooooooooo..  Looked great, sat great,price was fair, they could deliver at 6 that very same day.   Meant to be and I was certain of that.

 Now I need a rug- art and accessories , but the Family room furniture is in place and we are thrilled with it...
((The living room sofa saga continues , lol)) But I'm feeling very lucky and have no doubt I'll walk right in Somewhere and find the perfect one for Me.
 I didnt want to leave ya'll hanging and thinking I hadn't accomplished anything, so I am posting this  even though the redo isnt complete..  we are making Progress:)
  I gotta change the throw on my desk chair.. just now noticed that..

One more Living room Sample

 I bet ya'll are getting so tired of me concerning this room and I havent even done anything yet..
  I keep having this nitemare about my rooms being empty with a small solitary table in the middle of each room with a lone pumpkin on each as a decoration.  Needless to say that nitemare wakes me up in a cold sweat   rolf....

  seriously, I am making a tiny bit of progress. For instance, the tables tones have been decided.
 white on the bottom with light touches of dark wax and walnut tops..    So I am in the process of painting a few pieces, then when I get them inside, I'll do the tops.

 did I mention that Lone Pumpkin sitting on the FLOOR in each room.. YIKES, this could take me awhile.

 I really really LOVE these pillows and the basket on the wall.. LOVE so I am on a hunt for as close as possible to this fabric.   Daughter loves it too, so thats always a plus.   dont like the ottoman they used so thats NOT gonna happen..   no iron lamps either.
 I do LOVE the uncovered windows~! yes I know its a french door- but I just have a double window .. I will bulk up the moldings some and hopefully that'll get me the Look/Feel I'm going for.

Thanks for sticking with me through this process.  I promise not to do this to ya'll again when we get to the dining room and family room.  Those 2 were easier for me to decide on the Decor and fabrics.   I'm not sure why I am having Decor Block in the living room..

 If you have any suggestions, tips or tricks I am more than willing to hear them.. Your decor wisdom is always appreciated.
 PS~  the rush seat bar stools arrived-- they didnt look good in my home.  I am going to need stools with backs so those are being returned and the hunt is on for Bar Stools that will work..

I appreciate your visit.  It means a lot to me.

LivingRoom- So Many Choices

 I'm sure we've all thought about how WONDERFUL it would be if we could totally clear out a room or 3 :) and start over.   Well here I sit and while I am excited and very blessed to be able to do this without going into debt, it isnt working out quite as wonderfully as I had imagined.  Why? becuase there are WAY to many choices.     I dont want to spend a fortune and I do still have 4 Pomeranian Furbabies- who are very clean and proper acting little ladies, BUT anyone can have an accident- know what I mean.. 

 I also want to say :: not being compensated in any way, shape or form:: what an excellent job Stanley Steamer did on my carpets. They look like they did when they went in 6 years ago. The service was professional, friendly and the quality of their work was outstanding.  Thanks Guys- ya'll did good and I am both grateful and very satisfied..  I will be using them for all my cleaning needs- flooring wise I mean.

 Now back to these choices I was speaking of..
 While each of these samples are different, there seems to be a common theme- at least to me..
 When I look at them I think, light and cozy...
 In your comment- please say which you'd choose and a brief WHY you'd choose it or which elements you find most appealing. 
thanks for your opinions and wisdom ..

  This first sample best represents my wall color and I bought a light tone area rug already..
 I have the herringbone rug wrapped and stored..  I better hold on to that since I doubt I could find another..

 Not painting my walls blue.. 

 I like the calm and quiet of this room.

 OK - NOOOOOOOO yellow walls or totally blue striped sofa but I can make blue ticking pillows and a couple of floor pillows. 

 again, this says calm and quiet to me.

 Red ticking pillows- versus striped sofa..I do love this coffee table style..

  Love the neutral leaf pattern of the pillows.

alrighty.. lemme hear what you think and which you like.

I appreciate your help with narrowing these choices down..
 again- this is the sofa I ordered... I also have an ikea white twill slip cover ordered for it.

 Happy Tuesday Folks..
