Not Yet Complete, But Almost

Remember when I posted about our living room painting project over Memorial Weekend? Well, I realized a while ago that I had never posted the (almost) finished product! So today I snapped a few pics:

Here is the loveseat with the new pillows

And a closer view of the pillows

Honestly, I don't think I would have put these fabrics together if I would have just pulled them from the books, but I had a lovely (and free!) consultant who helped me pull everything together!

Here is a picture of the chair, which might be my favorite part of the room!

We still need to get some sort of funky ottoman so we can prop our feet up, but I haven't found the perfect one yet.

We also got a really fun rug to pull the entire room together. The rug came from a company that allows you to pick the design and colors (kind of like paint by number), so we were able to get the perfect colors to coordinate with the rest of the room.

Slowly but sure, I've been able to accessorize the room. I got these purple vases for a steal at Z Gallerie.

I just love the way they look on the buffet!

My mom and dad bought me these lovely little vases for my birthday

As you can see, we DESPERATELY need a large painting or picture over our fireplace. I would love to have something custom painted because I haven't found anything that I love that would go with the room, but I think it would cost us an arm and a leg. Anyone know of a really great painter who would like a small project for not a lot of money?

Finally, we hung some curtains in the dining area of our kitchen. Our upstairs is pretty open, so we carried the paint scheme through to the kitchen. I was a little nervous to add such a large splash of purple, but I think the curtains turned out really nice!

Now the only items we have left to buy are a coffee table and end table and a few lamps and of course, the artwork. At the moment, the lighting in our living room is terrible, so I'm looking for some neat floor lamps and a table lamp. I also need one more window treatment one the window above the sink, but I just haven't found anything that I love.

So, there is the sneak peek at our living room. Hopefully, by the end of the year or early next year, I will have all of the other pieces and it will FINALLY be done!
