I mentioned yesterday that I was making a few changes in the living room.
Right now, things look like this...
And by Thursday, I somehow want to take this textile/art plan...
...and make it happen.
I'm still deciding on what's going on what.
For now, I'm pretty sure the embossed crocodile leather is going to find itself on my pair of peach chairs...
As you know, these dudes have had a few previous incarnations...they went all girly in the poodle era...
...and are now getting tougher with the leather...
...excited for that to happen.
Apparently, I need 3 of these half cows to make it wurk..
Sorry cows.
The tiger will go on the charcoal sofa in the form of pillows.
The Alky chairs might get pillows and if they do, it will be the KW Faux Bois or Feline- the later works so well in the scheme but I adore the former...wish I had a way to use both!
The burgundy Schumacher velvet is going on on my Platner chair...
...and the blush is just to represent what's already in there pink wise.
As for things that are moving out, the tufted ottoman, chioiserie display case, TV and art wall are all gonzo (don't freak out...the ottoman will find a new home in my dressing room and the cabinet is going in Scarlett's bathroom a la new house- I'm reusing and recycling people:)
Walls are going my new very favourite white, Para Snowfall...it's like BM Cloud White only slightly cooler...wanting to crisp things up in there.
As for art, the Jen Mann piece arrived yesterday, thanks to the Neubacher Shor Contemporary (so nice meeting you Anya and Manny,) and I literally am speechless about it....
...absolutely IN LOVE!
I actually haven't purchased him as of yet- renting it for a few months to see how he works with my other stuff, which is PS, a fabulous thing to do if you're considering investing in an art piece...sort of gives you the chance to see if it really is true love as it were...I'm pretty sure I'll be just as enamoured with 'Sway' dude come rental end...I worked it out perfectly...purchase time should hit right around Christmas;))))
It's going over the credenza, though which credenza is the question.
I have to choose between the long rosewood one that's been there foreves and the new guy I bought for the new house...
I love love the new one but have a soft spot for the old lady as well so we'll see.
In any case, giant art is going there.
The gold mirror that used to be part of the artwall is going over the fireplace and my Jenny original will go where the chinoiserie unit used to be.
So that's the plan.
I've got two days to pull it off before shoots start happening.
Pray for me please.

ReplyDeleteYou are so ambitious & I have no doubt it will be amazing!
ReplyDeleteThere is just something about that art piece that I love. So cool.
ReplyDeleteWow, you're undergoing a big style transformation. No doubt I'll love this version as well!
ReplyDeletesuch a handsome piece! I would take him home if you decide not to rent him in the future :p
ReplyDeleteLoving the plans you have for the next updates. I admire your bold visions and how they all look so glam together.
Now can't wait until Thursday! xoxo
Loving the embossed crocodile leather! I can't wait to see the after photos!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea you could rent art pieces before investing in them - I guess I need to learn more about the art world!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your continued inspiration!

Holy crap. You've got a lot of ch-ch-changes going on! So looking forward to seeing how this room takes shape. Can you tell me how the heck you're going to get it done in just a few days? So impressed!
ReplyDeleteDo you have a good upholstery contact? I'm on the lookout (as close to Kitchener-Waterloo as possible, preferably).

ReplyDeletewow....your design mojo is on fire. Can't wait to see what it looks like.
ReplyDeleteAlways love what you do with your home and I often use it as inspiration for my own home.
ReplyDeleteI have a similar sofa and have long wanted those tiger pillows as well. Gorgeous!
Can't wait to see the finished result. Love the bit of edge you are adding! xo
