Remember once upon a time when I was going to redo my living room? Like two years ago? Well, since then I’ve moved, met the love of my life, and adopted two kitties. All those changes added up to me nothing doing a goddamn thing about my new living room…until now.
Next month the gf will be moving into my place and I’m finally ready to pull the trigger on reupholstering my sofa/mid-century chair and changing out some of my house basics. I’m so ready that two giant bolts of fabric are actually hanging out in the living room, waiting for the upholster to finally call me back. Wanna see what we picked?
The girlfriend and both fell in love with the mustard meets olive cotton velvet from Zarin Fabrics. The punchy aqua floral took some convincing; the gf wasn’t feeling it. I’m still looking for the perfect geometric rug to round out the room, but so far this red & orange number has my attention. Over the dining room table I’d love to see a row of paper cut mobiles instead of a more traditional light fixture. All of these picks can be seen on my Pinterest board dedicated to all things new apartment.
