I haven't shared too many photos of our home on here yet because it's still a work in progress & we still want to need to get permission to paint. But day by day our little home becomes a little more us and a little more lived in.
Last week we put the finishing touch on our living area.
Eventually we'll make a big purchase of buying new couches or a nice chair, but for now two slip-covered old Ethan Allen couches are serving us just fine. This area is our neutral oasis in a room with green accent walls and navy borders (did I mention we reallly want to paint?) But it's a neutral enough backdrop that if one day we do throw in an accent color (like a different blanket or pillow), everything will be able to coexist. And lately I haven't been drawn to colors so much as to patterns and textures. Hence the chevrons, stripes, checkers, baskets, wood and wool. I think patterns and textures offer a happy compromise between a decor that is too girly or too masculine. If you're interested in throwing some patterns into your own life, here's a peak at the making of our living room.
