My New Vintage Couch

Wow!!  What a day.  Between getting things and buying things for our upcoming move into our little bungalow and working on our projects its been quite crazy.

I'm really excited to share with you my new vintage couch that I picked up from an Estate Sale today.  All I can say is that days like this prove to me why we call ourselves Decorating Insanity.  So this couch is your typical 60's 8 footer, but in order to get it out of the apartment we bought it from, we had to take it through the patio and up over the fence.  It was kind of heavy, but we were crazy enough to do it.

Then we loaded it up in a small suv and let it all hang out.

But seriously, isn't it so cute?

As you can see we never stop working

So ideas are already going through my head as to how I'm going to decorating around it.  My place will be ready in 17 days.  The countdown is on.

Eclectic Living Room

HGTV's Emily Henderson did this eclectic living room with a bold yet sophisticated sofa, rustic coffee table, and mid- century accent pieces.  I love the random mix of furnishings.

Emily Henderson's Blog

If you are looking to do a room like this I recommend to mix some vintage finds with some new pieces.  The beauty of this room is you can probably find most of these pieces used.  To start...find yourself a vintage sofa.  Something bright and colorful.  For example the sofa below sold on Ebay for $160.00

Then add some pillows this one from Amazon might be fun.

Here is a great chair from Urban Outfitters for $329

Here's a great barn wood coffee table that would be great stained darker to get Emily's look.  You can't beat it for $235.00

Here's an awesome lamp  for $89.00

and another cool lampHere's a great little mid century side table  for only $55.00

and a black rattan ottoman

With some sprucing up these could be great tables and for $50 bucks, not bad.

So there you have it.  My version of Emily Hendersons eclectic Living Room.  Hope you enjoyed.
