So far So Living Room

So we are making progress! As the days pass sometimes I get annoyed because I feel like it will be forever till we're done, but I am reminded daily that this is process. Last week I decided that we would take it one room at time so as not to get overwhelmed with the massiveness of our project. This week's focus was the living room, we've made a lot of headway, though we still have nothing on the walls. Anyway here are some pics.

Here is the general view of the room. We purchased white leather couches on Craigslist. The pair for $600, a major steal slash divine intervention. For now we are using two side table that I previously painted for our bedroom when we lived in another apartment. I like the pop of color they add but I'm not sure they will stay forever.
If you can see the walls you will note they are a lovely little blue. I labored over this color choice for a few days because of the commitment one has to make for at least a few years-but I think it works. I wanted to choose a color that didn't dictate the way we had to decorate. Overall we are going for a vintage/modern feel. Being that I definitely lean more towards vintage, I went with the blue because it had a clean and modern feel.

In this corner we have a sweet vintage wing back purchased a couple years ago the Habitat ReStore for $40. This is one of my favorite pieces I love the vintage feel it gives to the room with just one piece of furniture. Behind on the side table is our Craigslist lamp. Robert found the pair for $50. They are actually pretty massive, we meant to use them in our bedroom but when Robert saw them in person he realized they were too big for our bedside.
The cool thing is that when you keep the same "feel" through the house you can move stuff around as you wish and it still works! Loving it so far!
What fun projects are you doing in your house?
