It's getting there.

As I have told you before- I am working on my sister's living room decor. It is fun to take notes from her on her likes and then try to come up with a room idea. It is nice that she is so laid back and easy about it , saying- "whatever you do I will love as I love what you do". She likes or rather loves the beach and loves the color red. She has two lovable - but hairy dogs. She loved my big robins egg blue cabinet when it was sitting in my living room against my cup of cocoa Behr paint with a creamy distressed chair by it. And she said that color combo is great and it is a bit beachy. Her hallway is almost a shade of robins egg blue- she mixed a bunch of mistints together and came up with it. The one thing we had to work with is her sofa. It is my hand me down sofa- I love that sofa but back to her- it is floral- ick but I had bought a chocolate brown fitted slipcover for it.

What we have:

a chocolate slipcovered sofa

a dark brown antique trunk

a robins egg blue end table

a yellowish bookcase

a fireplace mantel that needs to be painted

a new creamy dreamy chair with chenille cushions

a soon to be upholstered in cream with tan polka dots chair

a cream distressed end table

a sisal braided rug

What we need:

to paint the yellowish bookcase

paint the fireplace mantel a red color

I need to take some pictures of the room but didn't take the right lens.

Here are the current additions to the room: her chair, a pillow with the front designed on Wordle and then ironed on ,

a lamp from jc penny with a bird base. I added pompom fringe - well because everything looks like more fun with pompoms. I also painted the base as it was a yellowy color..not sure if we should glaze it or not. And there is her distressed table and a cool red tray I found and added her Wordle to the top.

So, plan - tan walls, white trim, red fireplace, white built in bookcases later, robins egg blue entertainment center when we find one or just might try building one :)

Will get pictures of her house soon.
