Family Room Additions

I've recently changed some things around in our family room and finally took some pictures!

I think the last picture I shared was this one last fall (in the midst of working on my gallery wall):
I had needed some lamps forever (years!) but it took me so long to choose some. But then Furbish came to the rescue!! These lamps are neutral, but bring in a coolness factor that, and I knew they would be perfect:

And here are the new pics!



You'll also notice that I switched out the bottom cushions of our sofa.  Here's the story behind that.... after I had purchased our Crate & Barrel Lounge sofa, reviews saying the fabric pills started popping up on the site. Then ours started pilling pretty badly :( I lived with it for a while, but honestly I've always liked the look of a two-tone sofa, so I contacted Crate & Barrel to see if they'd be open to sending us new covers in a different fabric. Their customer service was great, and they sent us new covers (AND cushions!) for no cost.

And the finishing touch was the new lumbar pillow I had made out of some fabric I had on hand.

This room is pretty much finished (for now). I can't share the entire space with you yet, I have to wait for our magazine feature with HGTV Magazine to come out (ah!)

  12. Great idea to do the two-tone look. Clever and it looks great! When you first introduced this couch on the blog, I was thrilled as I was researching it for my living room, too. We brought it home (in the Linen color) and experienced the same pilling problem -- it was awful! We ended up returning the couch and ordering (the exact same couch) in a faux-suede with a herringbone pattern. We love this couch and the new fabric is much more durable and we've had no pilling issues to date.

    All of this to say that C&B let us keep our old couch through the holidays as a loaner couch as the new couch (with the custom fabric) was being made.

    Despite being so bummed about the pilling, C&B customer service was great! Hope that helps anyone experiencing similar problems. —Gretchen
