Remember my 6 room plan?
#3 - the livingroom
Being that the palette office stayed as is, I needed more office type storage.
And since upstairs is all open floor plan, the livingroom got hit next.
Want list:
I wanted more whites.
I wanted more 'hidden' storage.
I wanted cleaner fresher spaces.
So I began to snoop.
And I figured I'd try out an old rustic cabinet I had buried downstairs. Did the cabinet work out?
It's rustic...
It's antique white...
It looks lovely wearing rust...
Yup! It works!
The funny little cabinet was made long ago by a fella that used reclaimed lumber for his creations.
And it offers TONS of hidden storage inside.
The fireplace was left wearing only it's new gate and a simple twig wreath.
The "In Dire Need of Miss Mustard Seed's Slipcover Tutorial" chair was moved in place, replacing the hazy cranberry wing chair I had during Christmas, further brightened up with some neutral accessories.
No rush, MMS. No rush. :)
Doubling up the 'table' runner with a burlap sandbag just for fun.
Aren't all those rustic textures kinda cool?
And I moved an old friend back in. This is my once pine now painted and glazed table. Check out what it looks like with dry fitted tiles on top HERE.
Do you know anyone else that stocks 3 actively used coffee tables?!? I AM a storage unit. 'Nuff said.
An old sewing machine drawer was the perfect storage for the remotes.
And I'm just loving all the scrapes and digs in this table top left by the previous owners. Thanks, guys!
Over the Christmas season, I sat here and watched The Titanic.
In this then kidless, spotless home. Pure magic. :)
Does firewood go better with coke?
From a junker standpoint, without a doubt. (thanks for the crate, Dan!)
And... how it all works together...
blog office starts at the white chair
I love how all the different tones of distressed whites play together. No two are alike.
They really lighten up dark areas in the room.
Even the sofa got hit with a few lights and brights, highlighted with another snoozin' cat.
I wonder if this is what a cat would classify as a work day...
Oops... bad cat joke. PEACE!
If that's a smile, I'm in BIG trouble.
Do you have a special storage piece that you love?
Creative storage ideas this weekend. Bring yours!
