dawn of the living... room

Here's my living room... getting closer to finishing (if that's ever really possible).

I haven't painted the walls yet. It's no longer going to be Shrimp Cocktail Pink. Now it's Silk Thread, a kinder, gentler pink.

Vintage barkcloth drapes- $40 for two panels.
Linen sheers (Pottery Barn Kids)- $5.99 for 2 panels @ Value Village

Coffee table drawer hides the "clickers".

$5 fawn with Dinah Shore & 2 June Allison Whitman paper dolls.

L.A. Funeral Home fan & Japanese ribbon lanterns in an old brass candle holder.

Roy Rogers (Whitman), white & gold Dopey ($3.99 @ VV), Hawaiian chalkware, vintage pics of unknown kids & vintage candy dish ($3.99 @ VV).

Vintage solid metal Cowboy Lamp ($40.00) with "wool" Fawn.

Ceramic pooch ($9.99 @ VV) with Santa light ($1.99 @ VV).

I know it's a BIG NO NO but I've had this teak table ($5 @ a garage sale) for over 15 years and I felt the need to paint it. SOOOOOO good. Never looked better. Slick.

Found this corner shelf for $12.00 at a flea market. Painted it. Looks awesome.
LOVE the clock! Gift from a friend.

Big lamp from 1947 (Garage sale find for only $20.00). Must find a vintage shade.

CD box sets & vintage kid's books hanging out in my beloved Deco cabinet ($275.00 @ Red Indian).

This set of bamboo chairs was a steal for $150.00. I re-strung the seat straps and covered the navy/wheat patterned cushions with cute ol' barkcloth.

My Cosmo-Pink Sony Bravia TV sits on a heavy two-drawer bedside table found on the street. I painted it yellow with blue legs (it was originally dark dark dry wood).

This FREE end-table was originally a neglected water-stained, blond wood veneered mess. But the shape was supreme so I sanded it & painted it a fierce coral colour. So happy with the results.

Vintage coral couch & chair were a bit sun faded in areas but the bones were good & solid. Didn't attach the previous owner's IKEA legs (ughhhh). I'll have to find some vintage ones. Found on Craigslist... $250.00 for the pair. Barkclothed the seats and added various cushions and a throw. Can't wait for cozy winter nights!
