Parlour of Perfection?

Finalizing the decor for the living room is much more difficult that I had anticipated. I do not remember having this tough of a time picking out our furniture when we were first married, but then again I was only 22 and we were selecting furniture on college students' budget (not that we're rolling in dough now, but we're not buying Ikea furniture this time).

The only definite right now is Husband's chair. Ah, and what a wonderful chair it is. I highly anticipate knitting in it while watching Snow White on the tele with Sweet Dee. What an absolutely splendid way to spend two hours! Anyway, back to the chair; yes, the only concrete piece of living room furniture thus far.


Husband and I found this lovely little loveseat (the space is an awkward shape and not suitable for a full sofa). The dinning room table that we purchased is a mid-century inspired piece so we decided to go mid-century for the loveseat as well.

Of course this little lady will need an ample supply of pillows. I found this one on Etsy and absolutely love it!


The pillow (although quite price for an Etsy find) is a must because it contains the off-white of the loveseat, the green of the dinning table seats, and the blue of yet another fabulous Etsy find (from Bird Ave).


Is this not a fabulous piece?! We ordered a set of four cities: Madrid, Rome, Barcelona and Lisbon. All cities that we have been blessed to visit over the past two summers. They came in the mail two days ago and I am dying for the painters to finish so that I can hang them up!

The last furniture piece that I'm eyeing (which also matches the lovely chevron pillow) is this beautiful rug from West Elm. I know that the picture is crappy, but you get the idea. The rug is called Andalusia (yet another wonderful nod to our favorite country Spain).


Sneak peak: this is the dinning room table. Her name is Sophia (given by by World Market, not me). She is a little green gem! Ps, this is the photo off their website, our Sophia is not in the dinning room quite yet. 


Fins Aviat! <3
