    A New Couch

    Posted in: Home Decor

    There’s a new couch in my living room, and it was love at first sight-in more ways than one. Before Christmas J & I went to a local furniture store to look for a loveseat to go in the den–where we had placed one of our couches. If you remember, we bought two of theses couches back when we lived in GA. We had one upstairs in the living room and one downstairs in the den.

    But when we walked into the furniture store, this was the first couch I saw. I didn’t even look at anything else that day. I knew this couch wanted to come home with me, and oh man does it look good in my living room.

    It’s this beautiful light gray, which goes perfectly with the gray-blue chairs I already had. It’s comfortable, and the buttons-oh the buttons! I have a tan pillow now because the pillows it came with just looked like they were made for the chairs. So honey….I’m looking for more pillows (hehe). I’ll be back on Wed to show you the whole living room, and the one little change I’m hoping to make to it. Do you love the new couch??

    *The other couch went downstairs, so both couches I previously owned are in the den. I now own three couches…..

    It started when I got these antlers from my Dad. And I think being in Colorado that’s super outdoorsy, woodsy only encourages my obsession with deer. Right now, all these pieces are on my main level…but I’m always looking for more Bambi’s to make their way to all the floors in my house.




    My little obsession has even made it’s way into my gift-wrapping this year. I can’t seem to stop!! Is there something you’re currently obsessed with???

    I did a first this year! I went into the woods, not a tree farm, but into the mountains and cut down a Christmas tree! And by cut, I mean my husband did it. It’s really a neat thing. You buy a permit for $10 and go cut down whatever tree you want.




    It was a really fun experience! Although, once the tree got in my house, it took me, eehhh two days to actually like the tree. It’s a different shape and not as super crazy full as the trees I’ve had before. So it took me a hot second to like it. But I do like it!! My very first Colorado Christmas tree!




    There’s my Colorado Christmas tree!! What do you think??

    Here’s my Christmas Mantel!! Even though my favorite part is there year-round and not anything I did–the fireplace. I got a few letters and painted them a taupe and red glitter to match the rest of the colors I’m using for Christmas this year. Since we cut down our tree in the Colorado woods, everything has taken on a rustic theme–which I’m really, really loving.




    Let chat now about the TV on my mantel. It’s not really what I had envisioned being there…and it might be moving to our bedroom. Our “regular” tv was too big and it fit better downstairs in the den. I do love watching HGTV or Real Housewives um, CNN while cooking. And right now, I spend most of my time on this floor anyway. So I thought if I mounted the TV with one of those swivel/extended mounts, it would give me the mantel and my TV. But, since this is a super weird TV, there’s a few screws loose and it won’t mount.

    So, I can get a new TV (eeehhmmm, honey? Just a tiny would work=)), move the TV to the bedroom and then never get out of bed…of course until I get a job… or leave it as is. But I look at the space and the height and I really think it would look SO good with decor instead of a TV. What do you think??? Any advice?
