Living room mood board

Hey guys,
I wanted to try something different, and since I really have no direction with our living room right now, I put together a mood board to try and figure out what I am looking for.
I needed to figure out what ways I could use our leather sectional to look best at the moment. 
it's not our favorite couch, but Ty got it from work for a discount and he enjoys it, so it will have to do.
I was trying to incorporate elements that we already had, such as the lamp, couch, and mirror.
As a reminder, here is what it looks like now:
Getting there... slowly...

The end of the radio silence

Hello everyone!

I know it has been insanely dead over here recently, but its not because I haven't been up to anything!
If you follow me on Instagram, you will have seen all of the thrift store/ craigslist hauls that I have been bringing in lately.
Among them, was this super fly globe bar.
It was featured on a couple of  different blogs, from the amazing Trisha over at Black and white Obsessions, To Brynne at The Gathered Home
I really appreciate them taking the time out of their day to feature me!
Thanks guys!

Speaking of, isn't it funny how you could be scouring thrift stores and craigslist for one thing and then when you finally find one, you find even more that could be even better than your original?
Yeah... That's my problem... Cause then I buy all of them..

That's the case with my globes.
Looked for months  just to find one, and then I found two and a globe bar cart all in a month.
Hopefully I'm not using up all my deal luck!
I also found that cool looking candle at one of our local thrift stores that was closing down. I have no idea what I am going to do with the stand when the candle runs out, but in the meantime, its a great conversation piece.


 But are you guys ready for some picture spam? Here you go! 
 Check out that cool faux wood grain fabric
This handsome man is currently a buffet/catch all in our dining room. He was originally a boring brown, but looks dapper with some cool herringbone!


 
 Yep, a vintage Eames chair in two pieces.
And finally, this chair got a makeover from blah to not so blah.
More info on him later!
Anyways, I promise that I will blog more often, if only to show you guys all the cool stuff I find. ;)
 as always,
