When we moved here, a little over a year ago, we were able to get a new couch and love seat. It was a much needed upgrade in our minds. Our previous couch had a basketball size hole in it that our dog made about 5 years earlier. We had a pillow stuffed in the hole to keep the rest of the stuffing from spilling out. ha! (Kind of wish I had a pic of that now.) The couch also had a nice shimmery-green blob on one of the cushions from a bottle of nail polish that Colin broke. Anyway. We were SO grateful to be able to get rid of it and purchase this new set....
We love the set! For us it's a good mix of casual and formal. The rug I picked up on sale at Target shortly after. I knew I wanted to add some other colors into the palate, but at the time I wasn't exactly sure what. I ended up just sticking with some cream colored panels and sheer curtains to get something up. The couches also came with a TON of pillows, so it's been in my head to recover some of them to help add color as well. After a few months I knew I wanted to add some orange, but I haven't made a priority of making the adjustments I want. Then, a few days ago though my friend posted this pic on her blog....
Look at those drapes! I LOVE! I would call it tangerine orange. It's the exact color I want! I just can't seem to find it anywhere in stores around here. Everything seems to be more of a burnt orange. This color is soft and bright! I love, I love, I love!
Oh, and I can't forget to mention how much I love that blanket!
I have so many "home improvement" projects on my list, but this picture makes me want to go searching for material for curtains and pillows tomorrow!
Hmmm....maybe I will.
