I'm just going to get started by saying *WHEW*!!!!!! This project was a handful - between the installation of the new hardwood flooring (all done by yours truly), the epic battles I've encountered with Macy's over the delivery of my new sofa & loveseat, and the shopping (and returning, and more shopping) I've done to furnish the room with accessories, I think I need a vacation now!!
I'll just go through a quick run-down of photos of the room, and a few of the bigger items that I just love! Enjoy!
 |
| My new desk area - the peachy-colored rug had been hiding in storage for over a year; I had almost forgotten what it looked like!!! |
 |
| Overview of the room, complete with Sal and Frankie. |
 |
| My beautiful new sofas! |
 |
| An oldie but goodie. This rocking chair belonged to Tyler's grandmother; it was in quite a sad state before we got it. My mom refinished it and brought it back to its original beauty! |
 |
| Antique market find of the month - a milk can from the old Pickerington Creamery. I'm using it as a small end table... |
 |
| Sal's new perch - the lid of the top trunk was torn to shreds, so I upholstered it with mattress ticking. Worked like a charm! |
 |
Another fun antique market find - a ten-gallon stoneware crock. It's also being used as an end table (like the milk can). It's a little short right now; I'm going to build a little stand for it using some MDF and bun feet so it sits up about another 4-5 inches. The tray on top may or may not get a fresh coat of paint... I can't decide if I like the floral, or if I'd rather paint it with a star (perhaps even a nautical star?) to match the crock.

| A funky and fun parlor table I also picked up at the antique mall - it needs a little TLC but will soon get a facelift in an upcoming post... stay tuned! ;-) |
