The Useless Room isn't useless anymore!

After lots of looking, conversations, fabric samples and shopping days, we have finally purchased a couch for the useless/Christmas tree room. We have “almost” bought a couch for that room plenty of times, but something always seems to hold us back. Mike and I aren’t great at conceptualizing design ideas and have a hard time picking colors that aren’t brown, blue or beige. After perusing through a Pottery Barn catalogue, I fell in love with this loveseat.

I ordered fabric swatches months ago and we decided on the above metal color (it's lighter in person and is a washed linen/cotton), but for some reason we just couldn’t commit. After a design consultation with Four Chairs Furniture, a store I absolutely love, we finally got the courage to purchase the couch I have been pining over. It won’t be delivered until September but I am excited to know that we can enjoy Christmas in that room this year with some seating and it will no longer look like we just moved in. I am also really excited to finally use a rot iron end table my mom gave me that I absolutely love.

I know it’s just a couch but it’s a huge accomplishment in our lives. Now on to looking for a bookshelf, a coffee table, some colorful pillows and knick knacks to fill up the room, add life and make it much more than “useless”. Happy decorating to us!
