Overall, it’s a lot lighter and brighter than the current living room. Currently there are dark purple curtains, a dark rug and lots of dark furniture. I think this look will brighten up the place quite a bit. I won’t be replacing the sofa right away, but the Petrie sofa has been on my wish list for awhile.
It appears that the Ikea sideboard is no longer available, but I would like to find something similar and paint it turquoise or peacock. I will probably use this behind the sofa, but I’m also toying around with the idea of using it to put the television on. The living room has a lot of windows and the tv is currently next to the large one. I’ve been thinking that maybe I could get a long piece that could span the window and the space where the television is. Then I could place the television on one end and use the other end for a nice vignette. I would love to do something different with my coffee table.
I really like the ottoman/coffee table combo. I think maybe I can DIY something similar to the one from West Elm.
I have been saving gift cards for the Iznik Dhurrie from West Elm, but after seeing a couple of rugs that I liked at Home Decorators (online), I decided that maybe the graphic Dhurrie was a bit too graphic. While I’m sure I would love it at first, I’m afraid that I would grow tired of it much faster than the ones from Home Decorators. So I think I will use my gift cards to get the mirror from West Elm instead. The reviews of the rug that I used in this board say the colors look a lot different in person. I don’t find any options for rug samples. The other rug that I like appears to also be available at Home Depot, at least online. I think I’ll go by the store and see if I can find either of them there.
