Thanks guys, for all your sweet words about the living room!
While it will always be a work in progress, I’m definitely loving it thus far.
So, to answer all your questions as to where things are from:
{some of the pictures are blurry where I tried to zoom in editing….sorry! Obvy, I’m no profesh.}
Pop Art:
We got this as a Christmas gift last year from my in laws, and I absolutely love it.
The website it’s from is photopopart.com.
Rug:
Get this, Walmart.com. At the time I got it, it was only $99 on rollback. Died.
Cheetah Chair:
craigslist, and I have the othe half of the pair in Chloe’s room.
Burlap Monogram Pillow:
Etsy. I’ve had it saved in my favorites forEVER, and was so excited that I finally had a home for it.
Chair by the tv:
This little gem is from a thrift store that I snagged for $15. I plan to one day paint and recover it, but I actually kinda like the way it is now for a bit.
Chevron Pillow:
Etsy. It was the first pillow she ever listed, and it was $10.
Obviously she’s now figured out she should charge more….
Coffee Table:
Another craigslist purchase. I love it so.
Couch:
This little baby is one of my most prized possessions that I found for $100 at the thrift store. I bought it on the spot without even a place for it in my last place. So sadly, it stayed in storage until we moved here. I love it so much, I *almost* want to cover it in plastic.
But, I’m holding back.
Self control.
Big Mirror:
Thrifted for $5. You can see the before and afters here.
And I think that about covers it….any other questions, let me know!!!
I just realized that almost everything in this room is either vintage or used, which makes every piece extra special to me. I love that I won’t walk into somebody else’s house and find duplicates of my stuff. Jimmy doesn’t quite get my love of unique, but I know many don’t.
I guess I can thank my dad for that trait of mine….

I prefer vintange, thrifted and reconditioned pieces to new stuff any day of the week! I love antiques too and the thrift store is a great place to find amazing pieces!
I love recycling stuff as well. Thriftiness is my middle name. Actually I just started up a little side blog (Shesthrifty.blogspot.com) to share my finds, deals, ideas etc.
I love the way you decorate Summer. You’ve definitely got a good eye!
What a gorgeous space lady. Dying over your throw pillows!!
love the stuff!!!
I freaking LOVE your sense of style!!!
I that you can throw together seemingly random items found at thrift stores and make a room that’s cohesive and beautiful!
Great couch!!!
