New Furniture

OK, here are just a couple of pictures of our new furniture. Keep in mind I used my phone to take these so they're not very good.

I ordered the couch in an eggshell herringbone (ivory). Along w/ the couch I got 4 pillows. 2 will be in a chocolate fabric w/ lime green piping & the remaining 2 will have a print on them. Lime green, chocolate and white. I wish I could explain the fabric but it's difficult. Again, 7 weeks to go on waiting for the couch to get in. Love it though!!



We ordered these 2 leather chairs from Nebraska Furniture Mart yesterday and we'll get them in on Friday, 7/25. We decided to go for a mismatched feel but in the same color category. The chair on the left is actually a recliner. I'll spend a majority of my time in that one.

Once we get the couch in is when we'll decide if we'll need a coffee table or not. I have it in my head for a glass table since I feel that won't make the room feel smaller. I've been wanting one for a while I just haven't found it yet. I will though!

Looking forward to the new flat screen next!

Excited!

New Living Room Furniture

Now this is one post I'm happy to be writing.

Yesterday I purchased a new sofa! Yay!! I got it at Nell Hill's (love that place!) http://www.nellhills.com/ & it's called the Dublin Sofa which is very fitting. I picked out an eggshell colored herringbone for the sofa and the pillows (4 of them) I got 2 of them in chocolate with lime green trim & the other two are in this lime green back splash with these chocolate leaves as the print. So hard to explain, I know! You'll have to wait 8 weeks before I can take pictures but I tell you, I'm excited! Maybe it was also because I got such a wonderful discount on them - about 45%. Now I won't divulge the price but let's just say it was a pretty darn good deal!

Chris & I will next be shopping for leather chairs. I want 2! In between the leather chairs I purchased a white ceramic garden stool from Nell Hill's. I was going to get the peridot green version from Pottery Barn but they were all sold out & plus the Nell Hill's version was quite a bit less (about 60% less). I'm just going to put a lime green candle or something on top of the stool to bring out the lime green.

Now it will be a while before I can post before and after pictures (2 months) but trust me, it'll be worth the wait.

Excited!
