My New Couch

27 Sep 2011 Posted by joannareyburnmay in Tour My House

My front room has undergone a bit of a transformation of style in the last couple weeks. First, someone offered me some money for my white vintage matelasse couch - and I sold it. I really loved the way it looks, but the whiteness of it always made me a little nervous. Next, I found some awesome botanical prints at a warehouse sale and snatched them up. Here's the before and after below.

And the after. I found this blue velvet Ethan Allen Chesterfield sofa on Craigslist. I've been seeing velvet chesterfield's all over Pinterest, and thought that this would be the perfect punch of color. The coffee table is different as well. I thought the space called for something larger, and found this "after" one on Craigslist. I still have some DIY mods to do on it, but I like it's size better for the space. What do you think?
