Settee.....

Another project checked off the list!! I bought this settee in Belgium on an awesome shopping trip with my friend Valerie a few months before we left Germany. That shopping trip was very fruitful...ha ha! I got this settee, the huge dough bowl and a secretary for super low prices! We were very giddy with our visions of what they "could" be!! I initially wanted it to be covered in an antique french burlap sack, but the upholster guy shot that idea down! He insisted that it wouldn't look right, so I trusted him and went with my plan B. I wanted something to go with my houndstooth chairs, so I picked a white (yes, white...what was I thinking?) and black print...It turned out so stinking cute! However, once I got it in the room, I hated it with the chairs...it just looked too dainty...so, after making Saige move furniture with me (Joel was at work and I couldn't wait) it landed in the entry way...and I think I like it!! But, now I have to paint the sofa table that I put in there....ah, the projects never end!!

Here is the before....can you see the potential I saw?!!!

Here it is in the entry way....I also changed the seats from two cushions to one...I SUPER LOVE IT!

Here it is in the living room....it just looked off with my bulky chairs.

Now I have to find another piece....let the search begin...shhhhhh, don't tell Joel...hee hee! Good thing I'm a bargain hunter!
