In case you forgot what it looked like the day we took possession, here's a little refresher. I'm pretty sure that stupid railing was torn down mere moments after I took this photo.
After many hours of cleaning, steaming, priming and painting, the walls are no longer yellow. (Camouflage by Benjamin Moore)
We put back up the floating shelves and gave them a good cleaning
Then we filled it with a bunch of stuff (Yes, that is a Red Bull fridge you see there, and no you can't have it)
Then we got some new/new to us stuff!!!
This sweet red chair from Midmod Vintage
We ordered a new custom sectional! Nothing beats custom sometimes. R picked out the fabric and made an excellent choice. It's a bit like an old mans jacket. But it looks awesome and is wearing really well. Our kitty hasn't wrecked it at all (yet!)
Look at how awesome this couch is. Room for both of us to
stretch out a bit. I still love our old couch and it's living in the
basement for now. We put a sheepskin on the red chair, and it's so cozy.
R found this cool kidney shaped coffee table and matching end table on
Kijiji. Nice score. I love the glass top, and that there is places to
put all my junk.
We need to work on the window treatments, the vertical blinds work, but just don't do it for me. I tire of the clatter every time there is a breeze!
Shelves with more, but nicely organized things. Some twinkly lights in the glass cabinet for some fun :)
R's booze collection, with a fine selection of local spirits from our very own Lucky Bastard Distillers
New Old lamp for the corner above the couch, this is from Past and Present antiques (This place has got some amazing stuff, if you've got the time to dig through the layers, you can find some really neat treasures)
New Credenza (also from Past and Present), Custom built by R Speakers, and a new TV! I took a little convincing to agree that this Credenza would be the right one for our space, but I'm glad he brought me around.
I hope that it still works with the new floors, or I may look at sanding and staining it a little darker. Not till after the floors though!
A vintage media stand for all R's gear and his latest and greatest speaker creation. Carbon fiber and oh so sleek!
Just imagine the pink carpet replaced with... well just about anything would be better than this freaking gross carpet.
I can't wait for the day we can have new floors! We will pick out a new area rug after the floors are in. There are a million different ones that I love it's so hard to choose
We have the best and brightest door in the whole neighborhood. We have the door open all the time to let the air in and it's almost like it's own piece of art. It really brightens up the room. How can it not, really. Notice that no brass light fixture above the door? R painted that one, and the two sconces on either side of the TV with a metallic black spray paint. And we washed the globes until they were no longer yellow. They look better than new!
My seeestor's grad pictures, some trinkets from family
and the most bad ass zombified picture of us! An awesome house warming
gift from this guy
I love this little IKEA cart, I plan to fill it with plants, hopefully I can keep them alive. More Kris Moffat's with a hint of IKEA on the walls.
There will be some more progression on this wall coming soon. We have a new print to be framed and hopefully I can do some re-arranging soon
I love how much things have changed over the last couple of years and can't wait to see how things keep progressing!
