You may have noticed in last week’s post about our sofa table that I changed up the seating arrangement in our living room a little. We don’t hang out in here as much since we built the new den, so I felt like I could get rid of a chair and open things up a little. It’s not a huge room, and the sofa is pretty much tied to one spot. This is how it’s been for a while:
Usually, it’s just me watching this TV, and the end of the couch is my seat of choice. I also felt like the coffee table was a little on the small side. (It’s actually more of an end table, I guess.)
I took out the corner armless chair (and moved it to the bedroom upstairs) and used the pair of slipcovered chairs (these from PB) on each side of the fireplace. This also let me pull the sofa in a little.
And, it made room for the fretwork coffee table I found at a second hand store a few weeks ago, when I wasn’t really looking for a coffee table. (Don’t you love when that happens?) It really makes me feel happier about the whole space.
Lots of room to accessorize. (And, I’ve only caught the twins jumping off of it a few times!)
Looks great Emily….and of course when you rearrange you have to change pillows:)
Love the way it looks!
that table is awesome!!!! LOVE it! i found one at a thrift shop a couple months ago and so need to update my pics… i have been photo-lazy lately.
I like the new arrangement very much. It gives the room a warm, welcome feel.
Just when I think your living room can’t possibly get any prettier…you step it up a huge notch! So lovely!
So pretty Emily:) I love that table and it is the perfect addition to your room. xo Kristin
love that gorgeous white chinoiserie inspired piece — can I ask is that vintage or new piece? Thanks for sharing!
Love the new arrangement. It looks wonderful. Great coffee table too.
It all looks so lovely! I’m inspired to go rearrange my own living room today.
Love that table! The whole room is just gorgeous!
Looks beautiful! What color is on your walls in that room?

I want that coffee table so bad I could cry! I have the WORST luck thrifting and craigslisting. :( Room looks great though!
Looks great! Where did you get your 2 white chairs? I love them!

Thanks! Not sure how I missed that!
So classy. I love it. I desperately need a living room makeover.
I am swooning over that coffee table. I love how so many of the pieces in your home are thrifted or second-hand! Creates such a beautiful, creative look.
Love the coffee table. Lucky you! I just found your blog and am so glad I did. :)
I’m so glad, too :) Thanks!
Love the new coffee table and the room arrangement. Looks cozy! Oh, your kids jump off the coffee table too?

Where do I look for a bust of a Lady like you have? And I love your booth pictures!
I found that one at a consignment shop. I also ordered another smaller one from a Joss & Main sale. They pop on there occasionally.
Lovely coffee table and furniture. Home looks complete when it is furnished.
Looks awesome! Don’t you love how a simple re-arrange allows a room to take on a new fresh look?
Love the new arrangement! I agree that the larger table is much better. And what a bargain to find it at a second-hand store!
I love the new coffee table!! What an amazing find. We always find the best stuff when we’re not looking for it. I also love moving furniture around my home and using them in different places. Feels like a new space! :)
I love this arrangement Emily! You have lovely things and pull it altogether so beautifully!
