I notice a common thread between my Pinterest living areas and the below image is sheer perfection in my eyes! To add texture to the room (apart from the fancy lights) they have used throws and cushions and vignettes on tables with greenery, vases etc.
We don't have a coffee table at the moment, nor do we have any lighting apart from the ceiling lights.
Another gorgeous image that inspires me!
So my little brain has been busy trying to work out how to incorporate the above, firstly, on a budget and secondly, for it to be kid safe. I remembered that we used to have a console with glass tops and it was banished downstairs to the man cave - so I dragged it upstairs (has ply wood where glass goes) and just plonked some things on it to see if I liked it there and how it affects the room.
Of course I love it there. I'm hanging to get a much better lamp (possibly cover a shade) and some other bits and pieces to put on top. Maybe a rattan tray instead? And my first bit of coral! Haha!
I'm just leaving as is for a while and I might paint it or do something to it but for now it does the job!
I adore that first room as well. Gotta love finding use to something you already own!
