Living Room Vlogging

Okay... so I might lose a couple of you on this post, but you HAVE been asking for it! lol

You may have seen on facebook,  that I FINALLY found my little video recorder

(stashed in a SHOE under one of the twins beds! ... no kidding) that had our

"couch shopping experience" documented on it and I thought to myself ...

"Self?  Why not just do a VIDEO blog post on this couch journey of ours?"

So I decided, instead of just typing it all, for you to read... I would VLOG it! :)

Here it is! (please excuse the lighting) ... you might want to get comfy.

(and turn up your volume, for some reason it's really quite...grrr, sorry!  We're lookin' into a new, better handheld camera)

All 12 minutes of me rabbling on about stuff ... and of COURSE a music montage at the end ...

because NO video from me, would be complete without one :)

Hmmm... if for some reason the video looks pixelated, you might have click on that YouTube

button and watch it there... sorry!

Okay... are you still there? ha!

Yes... I spelled "THANK" wrong at the end.  I know.  But I wasn't going to upload that sucker again, so just pretend it's spelled right... m-kay?

Here are some additional pictures of our living room, thus far.

THE Couch...

which is the PB Comfort Square Grand, slipcovered in ... 

I'm gonna say Cream Twill?

It's not super WHITE... but it's not too creamy either.

Coffee Table...

I just changed out the hardware, to these cute cream knobs I picked up at Hobby Lobby, to give the table some more personality.

 

These are the pillow inserts I bought at IKEA for about $30 for all of them.
I will be "dressing them" with some fabric soon.

Maybe this fabric I got at a garage sale? ... Dunno, we'll see.

This is the idea of what I want the pillow set-up to be.

Looks a lot more "comfy" with big plush pillows, eh?

Ooo, I love me some pillows! :)

The yellow striped ones are from Pottery Barn, they were on clearance.

Here's the Zebra rug, in it's entirety, from Home Fabrics.
I love the darker color stripe.  It adds just enough warmth.

This is that sideboard I was telling you all about.

Doesn't it have great details?

It was in a little worse shape then I thought, so my Dad had to do some sanding and such, but it's got it's first coat of primer, and is looking something like...

This!

I'm thinking of leaving the original hinges, they are just a dark brown color.

But replacing the knobs with some fun ones from Anthropology.

These are my top 3.

Currently our piano, that WAS in our living room, is waiting to go downstairs.

Till then... it's living in our bedroom.

Since Cason's the only one who plays it, it's fair to be on HIS side of the bed, right?... hee hee

I'm having a hard time justifying putting it downstairs, till we can repaint.

But again... who knows when THAT will be? lol.

On that note... can I just mention that this photo is totally our inspiration for the wall treatment, that we'll be doing down in our basement? :)

loooove it!

WHEW...okay!

Well, as you can see, I've got quite a bit more to do, and in RETURN a LOT more to share!

I'm excited to see how everything comes together in the end...whenever THAT is :)
