Finding My Groove

Remember my post about my love/hate relationship with accent pillows?  Many of you shared this sentiment, while others seem to have no problem in this decorating department.  Both sides of the fence shared their ideas and suggestions with me (much appreciated) and I spread my wings a little bit further.

Here's the before of my living room sofa.

BORING!

Now, brace yourself for the after with Priscilla, my new pillow.......

I know, you're laughing WITH me, not AT me.  It's okay.
So maybe I haven't completely tackled my fear of using throw pillows.  But for me, this is huge.

I had Priscilla in the bag to take back to Ross about five times.  Each time she made her way out of the bag and back onto my sofa (sneaky thing!).  I gave up trying to convince her to go back, but I'm holding onto my receipt just in case.

This room has hints of aqua in the rug and on the upholstered parson's chair where my butt continues to spread as I blog.

Also in this room is my favorite trash-picking score curbside rescue.

I haven't given it a name yet, but he looks like an Adonis.  You can read about him here.

Let's have a looky on top so I can have an excuse to join Marty's Tabletop Tuesday party.

The clock was a Craig's List find and is flanked by my some of my favorite antique books.

The teacup and saucer was an anniversary gift to me from a dear friend last year.  What I love about them is that they come on this oh-so-sweet brass holder. The saucer side has a little rooster on it, can you see?  The crystal candlestick I got at a flea market.

Aside from collecting antique books, I also somehow started collecting glass paperweights.  I love 'em!

And the gorgeous ornate frames are from my yardsale travels.  Soon they will be available as chalkboards, memo boards, and cork boards on my Etsy.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great week!
