Remember this room idea I posted about? Inspired by the Zap rug Mrs. ISuwannee found?
Well I think that is what I want to do for our living room when we move. We are out of here in two weeks.
Yes. TWO weeks.
That is madness people. And I have to say I am sad, but not as sad as I thought I would be. I think mostly because I have been focusing on the excitement of this next chapter in our lives, and of course the opportunity to jazz up another house.
So although we toyed with the idea of selling our house here furnished, I decided that was dumb and I love my furniture too much and starting all over would probably be the death of me. But I think we might put a different twist on our existing pieces.
Fresh start, ya know?
So our current living room might be in for a St. Valentine esque makeover.

Inspired by the rug, my fave Miles room, and Girly McBaby, of course.
Surprisingly, Pete doesn’t object. I think he knows every night of his life is about to be ladies night, and has lost his will to fight it.
Exxxxxcelent.


love the new room idea! but…i am sad to think about the world losing those chairs! being the dumb non-decorator that i am, i don’t know how this works…can you at least save the velvet floral fabric when you recover them? i will buy that shit from you in a second!
This room makes me SO happy. It’s bright and springy but still year-round, with equal mixture of funk and class. Plus if the baby spills juice on the rug it’ll blend in! Full success.
Watermelon covered sofa, sounds delic! If you feel the need to sell any of your furniture prior to moving let me know
Ditto what Kristin said! If you have goodies to sell in Chicago let me know!! Your new room is going to be amazing
Watermelon velvet? Totally Yes! And the wingbacks in orchid linen would be delicious! Cheer Up Bailey, this upcoming change will be for better! XoXo
not the wingback chairs! you were so excited when those babies got reupholstered!
hold up. that seems like a frivolous use of dolla bills.
save that shit for mcbaby’s college.
green velvet couch is spectacular. and those gray vintage velvet chairs? i would cry if you changed those.
just knowing you changed those would make me so sick.
noooooo bailey! stop.
What a fun living room! I would be overwhelmed and excited both to be starting fresh. But I love your current home.
Hola! You are being so positive – i love that.
would you share where one could find that lovely tufted ottoman?
Lee Industries Furniture, it comes in two sizes!
I agree with MFAMB! Especially regarding those chairs! They are my favorite! I have shown the pictures of those chairs to so many people. I will seriously drive to Chicago and take them off your hands. They are too perfect to change yet!
