Furniture!

Here is my new living room set! I am so excited about it! Kathleen and I went and bought the fabric for these a year ago! I am so happy to finally have it done! I also have some really nice green fabric to cover some small throw pillows to put on the couches. I can’t wait to see it all put together!

I didn’t have enough fabric to cover all the cushions for all the pieces to the set. But we were already planning on putting the love seat into another room. So here is what I bought at the market for the love seat!

We bought the set last Saturday. Then on Sunday we took him the fabric to cover the cushions. Normally they come pre-covered, but I really wanted to use my own, so that it would truly reflect my style, instead of just putting up with something that I didn’t really like.  The arrived here at the apartment yesterday evening. I was so thrilled to see how it turned out!!

I went “shopping” on the Pottery Barn website a few weeks ago, looking for an entertainment center. I wanted something that would have doors, so that it would protect the TV from dust, but mostly keep it from glaring at everyone when they came for a visit. Its very important that we don’t flaunt things that are a bit expensive. For one we don’t want to be robbed and two we want to be sensitive to those around us. Here is what I found:

I adjusted the dimensions to fit our needs, a little thinner and a little narrower. Norm went down the other day to check out the progress. What do you think?

The carpenter came to visit us yesterday and said that it should be done tomorrow, but then he needs to stain it. So he said he hopes to get it to us on Tuesday. I am so excited! It will be nice to get the tv off of the Action Packer (plastic tub)!

I will post pictures as soon as we get it in. We have already talked to him about making us a coffee table. We really need one because when our neighbors come to eat with us, we eat at the coffee table. They don’t have a dinner table and it would be so foreign to them to eat at a table. We all eat out of the same dish, so it would be pretty tough eating together at the table.

I also bought some stuff from a dorm that is closing down. I can’t wait until June 5th to see what it looks like. I bought a shelf, a 2 1/2 foot long counter for in the hallway (kitchen… hahaha) and a microwave shelf. I don’t have a microwave, but its possible I might get one in the future. Plus it has lots of good, much needed storage.  Pics to come, of course!
