fabric ramblings

Now that we've managed to get our ginormous sectional into the basement, we're couch-free in the living room. I have two chairs but we've yet to get a couch. As I've mentioned before, we've got our eye on the Karlstad in dark grey and I'd like to pull in some orange for accents. I was on Spoonflower this afternoon and found some fabric I think will do the trick for some cushions.

I love this Tribal Orange colour by Dolphin and Condor

And this Tree Hearts fabric by Holli Zollinger is clean and simple.

And that my friends is where the orange stops because I got distracted (doesn't take much these days) by Holli's other fabric. I love all of them!

Ok I just found her kunda linen collection and now I want reds - beautiful!

This is turning into a weird run-on post so I'm stopping there. What to choose!?

ps-while I was looking over this post for glaring errors I realized it was September. SEPTEMBER PEOPLE. What the eff.

karlstad

Ok so we're likely jumping on the Karlstad bandwagon.

We need a couch on the main floor when we move our sectional to the basement and we don't want to spend a ton of cash so we trekked over to Ikea last night to check it out.

Honestly I really like this couch. The dark grey is perfect (because ya know we're [I'm] obsessed with grey) and the size will fit nicely in front our livingroom window. It's cozy enough to go along with my livingroom inspiration photo and the best part? It's $599. Can't be that price. The one caveat: the legs! I'm not sure why these are the standard legs but they will have to go. We'll either look into replacing them with the metal legs or do what Sherry and John did and stain them.

Next we'll have to consider the chair options for the livingroom. We'll see what we find!
