Can you find five differences in these photos?

We got new furniture! 

This is the first furniture that Stonewall and I purchased together!  All of our other furniture was either handed down to us or someone else bought it for us as a gift.

For quite awhile I’d been wanted to get rid of the love seat and replace it with two club chairs, but I couldn’t find any that I liked or that were affordable.  When I saw this set in the store (in the clearance section none-the-less!) I knew the waiting had paid off because I had found MY (very affordable)furniture.

(Actually, the plaid sofa and chair are a set.  The chair on the left was just a random piece sitting beside them, but it matched perfectly!  I’m a huge fan of mixing patterns, so it was just meant to be.)

Stonewall wasn’t as convinced as I was.  He thought it was “parlor furniture.” I’m not really sure what that meant, but that’s what he said.  When I agreed to let him take the old furniture and create a “Man Den” in the back room we’d been using as a guest room, he was sold though. 

Once we got the furniture in the house, Stonewall agreed that it was a much better fit than our old furniture. 

I also bought a new clock…

clockIt’s like that word art material.  The numbers, leaves, and birds vinyl and are stuck on the wall.  The clock mechanism is the only part that hangs on a nail.

So that’s our living room right now.  Next up, new coffee table and rug…

LOVE it! Where did you find that rug at??? I want to redo my living room in those colors, only I'm opting for a green paint on the walls. Very cute!

Love the furniture and the clock is so cool! We've used vinyl art a couple times through out the house and we love it!

"Parlor furniture" (!!!) Ha! You've just gotta love a good man phrase, amiright?

Good thinking on the man den idea. That's a stroke of wifely genius. And your rooms are darling. Cute post!
