Living Room Updates

Welcome to our living room!  It is a work in progress, but coming together.  The two main updates are the art wall and the recliner.  I added the art wall today, mainly for the purpose of showing some of Sullivan’s masterpieces.  Seriously!  Don’t laugh!  Also, I recently inherited a not-so-pretty recliner that is in need of some TLC.  It was my grandmother’s, so I would love to find a way to incorporate it into our home and give it new life!  So… the fabric search has begun for getting the recliner reupholstered.  Before that though, I have a funny story about this chair.  When we started getting this house ready to move into, the first thing I got rid of was the recliner.  I could not believe how awful it was!  So, my poor husband has been without a recliner for 3 years.  Here is the kicker… this recliner I inherited was the EXACT same one I threw out – even the fabric!  So, I guess second chances are sometimes serendipitous.  I actually don’t hate the solid 60′s look of it now, but it really is just in need of new fabric in every way.  I have considered painting the wood (white??) as well.  Get excited about watching this recliner resurrect from the dead!  So many choices… solid bright turquoise or green?  Bold geometric?  Geeze.  I have a big (somewhat expensive) decision to make.  More to come.

Looking good, and I love how Sullivan managed to sneak into a pic looking all laid-back and chill, like he owns the place. :)
