So if I moved what was in the dining room back into the living room (see post below), natch I had to move the living room into where the former dining room turned living room is - was?Yes, a $5 rug and $3.99 mirror (did I mention the mirror was 30 percent off?) inspired me to redo my digs on the warmest Saturday we've had so far this Spring but no matter: here's what I came up with for the dining room....
Where the other room utilized the contrast between the orange and the inky blue and had a def glam-Baroque look, this room is my colour room, a more casual space with a modern-contemporary look.It's not as glam but it's more lived in.
What I love:For a gal who loves her colour, I'm surprised I'm so taken with my white lamp bases, picked up at the same thrift store (Stretch Thrift, my local thrift shop) for $3.99 on different occasions - gee $3.99 is my magic thrift number these days!
I plop whatever lamp shade I feel like on them and play a little at lamp hardware switcheroo too ....
For some reason the lamps remind me of one of my fave Woody Allen flics, Interiors - funnily enough a film that also features beautiful interior spaces ....
I'm also totally digging that I've relocated my T.V. to a corner of the room rather than having it as the focal point in the "other" living room space.
It has a little nooky feel here, and I'm so pleased I was able to finally come up with an attractive tableau to put on top of the robin's egg blue 1950s table I've had for years!
The black T.V., Elle Decor mags and black sculpture picked up at Value Village contrast nicely with the green and add to the retro colourful look of the room.
