Changes In The Great Room

This is another post about the giant plasma TV that G-Man & family convinced me would look great over our fireplace –

N O T

 You can catch up on the story here: How The Grinch (AKA Plasma T.V.) Stole My Mantel and Plasma TV Over The Mantle

Several changes were made in our great room

after we figured out a ‘look’ for the flat screen t.v.

Two big comfy chairs face the fireplace with a small table between

My plan (when the money boat comes in!) is to replace these chairs

with two smaller chairs to free up some room – it seems a bit tight in the area.

Also, I want a large rug to ground this area

I am looking for an indoor/outdoor rug that can be taken to the driveway and hosed down

Four dogs and a two year old can wreak havoc you know!

I found one I really like at Crate & Barrel

Savannah Cane in a 9’ x 12’ is only $399.00

The sofa settled in front of the large double windows

with the sofa table  behind it

I got the green chair from a friend who is downsizing

This white cabinet on the left replaced a custom cabinet

that housed the t.v. before the flat screen

I miss my cabinet but Alex is taking advantage of it

down in Blue Creek Basement

Someone asked where our  cable box is now

I tucked it in the middle of decorative items,

put the girls’ graduation pictures on top

and pretend that it’s invisible!!

To the right of the fireplace is the table that I redid last year

Read about it’s makeover: A Finished Project

I took down the seashell mirror that I made

(See How To Make A Seashell Mirror)

I hung my antique tapestry in its place

I got the chair for half price when Faux Biz closed

The side table is an antique metal file box

We keep Mason’s books in it

My black lamp and a large candle

adds interest to the table

Close up of tapestry

I added a sheep to my collection

He looks and feels like bronze

not sure what he is made of but

he is really heavy and cute!

I will be sharing how I hung the tapestry soon AND  I have a big reveal coming up.  I have been frantically working in my kitchen! I am almost finished painting the cabinets with Annie Sloan Chalk paint – three different colors!!!  And a real backsplash is going in this week!!!  I am a tired but happy camper!
