New Furniture In The Living Room

I’ve bought new furniture for the living room that I want to show you. It’s a brown faux leather couch, chair, and ottoman I found at Ashley Furniture.
About two months ago, the chaise on my couch broke. I use that chaise to work on my laptop and stretch out my chronically problematic ankle. I truly missed that chaise.
So I placed pieces of wood underneath to level it out, but it never stayed level. The off-kilter chaise made my hip hurt.
So, since I was in the last month of paying off long-term bills, I decided to get something else. I drove to Ashley Furniture.
The New Furniture In The Living Room I Purchased:
Initially, I was only going to buy the couch. But then I came home, got online, and looked at the couch on the Ashley Furniture website.
It was priced $200 less than I’d just paid online, so I phoned them and told them what I’d discovered.
To get that same discount, I said I’d buy the chair if they threw in the ottoman.
I also haven’t shown you the framed cow painting in the pasture I found at Kirklands. It was listed at half price. You can see a little bit of the painting over the couch.
All the framed paintings were 20% off the original half price they had marked it down to. So I ended up getting 85% off my purchase! Getting an excellent deal in a store always feels good.
Unfinished All Wood Coffee Table:
I found this unfinished table on Wayfair, ordered it, and painted it French Blue. It is 32 inches by 32 inches. Now I have a new coffee table to go with my new living room furniture.
I was very particular about the coffee table size because I didn’t want to overwhelm the small living room space.
Space is usually at a premium in an apartment living room. You have to be careful not to put too much furniture in the room, which must be scaled correctly to work.
Above is a wide-angle view of the dining space adjoining the living room. Abi loves to position herself in photos, so she’s standing there posing for me!
Charlie is over in his little spot I cushioned for him with quilts over by the window.
So now you see the changes I’ve been working on here at my apartment for the past few months.
It looks great, Brenda. I am shopping for a new chair and ottoman. Lots of sales coming up this weekend so maybe I will find something I can afford. xo Laura
Love your new sofa and chair. And Charlie's windowseat is a smile maker. Your framed photos are awesome. I adore the marbles in the Mason jar!
Brenda I really like the new furniture and how open the room looks now. That coffee table is perfect. Fun that you got that cow print at such a bargain! Nice to hear that Israel and family got a new place also and that you had stuff to give them. I am going to continue some downsizing once I heal up from this surgery!
Your room looks great! Furniture looks cozy and the pups should be happy with the New windowseat. You have been a busy lady! Sheila
I want to sit in this room and sip lemonade in one of your pretty glasses.
Brenda, the room looks so good and once again we are all wishing that we were blessed with your talent to make everything look just right. Blessings to you and the pups! Carolyn in Florida
That chair looks like one I could sink into and fall asleep…I love what you have done Brenda..it looks more spacious and open..What great bargains you got!
It all looks so nice, and colorful, which I love! What a lovely, cozy and comfortable looking home you have, Brenda. And so sweet your little dogs have their own spot to sit and look out the window.
Brenda, you've made such a lovely home. I love your changes, and the cows are delightful. Great job!
Brenda, you got some great deals! Love the new furniture and the cow print from Kirklands is a perfect addition! The room is very welcoming and fits you and the pups! Pam @ Everyday Living
I think that is the best 'view of the whole room' picture you have ever shared. Love all the changes, what a lot of hard work and what a great success. I am so glad you posted about your wonderful changes today. Hugs.

The new chair and couch are great looking. And what a deal you got on the cow! You never cease to amaze me with your decorating. I'm sure Israel was thrilled.
Love it, love it. As always, you have made it look so comfortable and very homey. Love to see all your projects. So nice giving Isreal and his family your other new set.
Your room is very cozy. Bentley doesn't like it when I move things around either. He watches every move with a skeptical eye. By the way, I have never been to Kirklands. Maybe I need to check it out!
Big Texas Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
Looks wonderful! I may go out shopping soon too 😉
Brenda, you do have a pretty little place. It's so YOU and it shows.
I just want to let you know I think you are one amazing women. I always LOVE your emails. You are so kind to share with Israel and his family. You are both blessed to know one another. Everything looks great and thank you for sharing.
Beautiful and wonderful are the first words that come to mind.
Wish I had your talent and confidence to decorate my home.
Again you have outdone yourself. I love the soft mix of colors, it is so you! And that chair looks so comfortable!
Love the new sofa and chair and it fits perfectly in your living room. Everything looks so nice.
How nice that you were able to give Israel some items to help him get started in his new rental. I'm sure he appreciates it.
Brenda, As usual your apartment is incredibly beautiful and welcoming. I have never had a knack for decorating. If I wind up with something that looks good, it is purely by accident. "I'll just shove this over here until I figure out what to do with it." Later, "Hey, that looks really good there. I think I'll leave it." LOL The best decorating I've ever done was simply to copy a picture of something I like. I might just have to copy some of your wonderful ideas. I hope that's OK. I think it is great that you shared your still beautiful things with Israel and his family. Now I'm going back to the top of the page to look at all your pictures again. Thanks Brenda.
I LOVE it!!!!! It's so 'country' and absolutely cozy!! You have such a way of putting things together, Brenda….your home is warm and welcoming and I'm so glad you have a lovely place to spend your days. I'm sure Israel is delighted with all the goodies you sent his way and I'm glad he found a place to rent, also!
Love all of it!!! It looks so nice and comfy too!!! Enjoy, Janie
Looks great!
So nice Brenda. Love the new picture over your new couch. Very pretty. Glad you could be savvy and save so much to get all of this. Wonderful.

Love your new look! The picture shows all the pretty colors and textures in the room. The cows are fabulous and your photos look great all framed and hung up. Great price on your picture from Kirkland's.
Oh, Brenda, I LOVE all of it!!! You have transformed your home yet again and it just keeps getting better and better!! Beautiful additions and you are so good to Israel!!
It is a whole new look. I really like it. I think it makes your home look larger. All the colors work. I like all the cows. A little country in the city.
I always like my feet up. Our recliner would not recline. It was uncomfortable unless you just sat. We just replaced it. I don't think the store clerk or my husband could change my mind. I saw this faux leather gray chair and a half that is electric to recline. I love it. Room for the dogs and me. My grands like sitting in it together.
Hugs
This is just so wonderful, cozy, bright and just makes you want to walk in put your feet up and soak it all in. Love it!! Amazing as always, and the doggies are just so sweet.
