After hours of debate, we finally decided on furniture and last Friday it was delivered :)
No more crappy Army loaner furniture.
No more boring, colorless, uncomfortable house that didn't feel like a home.
No more going to Ikea, arguing because no one speaks English in the warehouse.
We did it!
Now I was planning this whole time on a rustic feel with all neutral colors but once we got there, all plans went out the window. Hubby fell in love with a red shag area rug and since he didn't get to pick anything else out, I let him get his rug. I'm so sweet. :) It looks like a ton of grey in the picture below but with the rug underneath and the red knick-knacks for the bookcases and throw pillows I want, its coming along!
Do you think we need a contrasting color? Hubby has his eyes on bringing some light blue into the room but I'm torn. I know we look like we are obsessed with our Puggle, but its totally because we are 100% obsessed. There might also be at least 3 Star Wars prints going up. Don't hate us cuz you aint us. Once we get some decor going on, I will take tons of pictures!
Maybe Pops of navy blue?! lol Im thinking nautical! I love the it..I Cant wait to see the finished product!
ReplyDeleteThat furniture is from Ikea??? I love it!! Neutral looks good. Especially with a bright rug. Good job you.
ReplyDeleteI think the light blue would be amazing...very different and fresh and it would help lighten up the darker shades of red and grey. :)
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get that pug statue? Its adorable!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors of this room. Red and grey are too perfect.
Love your ideas for the living room and your blog!! Where did you end up finding furniture? I like the idea of pops of navy blue as well!! Gray seems so easy to mix and match :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm 93.2% positive I have a couple of the exact same pieces of furniture :). How about some teal? I love the teal/red/grey combination, and would definitely brighten up the room.
ReplyDeletelooks great!!! I love the colors - you could totally add blue too!
ReplyDeleteAhh!! Did you get that picture of Han Solo at Ikea?! Please tell me I can find it here in the states!!
ReplyDeleteLegit. You avenged the crappy loaner furniture quite well. :) I say add as many contrast colors in as you see fit ... as long as they're in fairly small doses ... that red rug is pretty brilliant.
ReplyDeletehaha, excellent. Love the juggle decor.
ReplyDeletepuggle* woopsiess
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see it all come together! Really loving the Han Solo print, might need to get it for one of the boys and their new room!
ReplyDeleteLooks like it's all coming together for you guys! I can't wait to see photos! Which totally reminds me that I never did post photos of our flat with furniture in it. Oh well. I'll get around to it one day. :)
ReplyDeleteUm, the Star Wars prints are the coolest. Seriously. And, the puggle? too cute. You deserve to be obsessed :] Fabulous.
ReplyDeleteGrey is my absolute favorite decor color so 2 thumbs WAY up! My hubby would die over your Star Wars prints. Those all stay in his man cave here. lol I say go with the light blue. Pops of it here and there will look tremendous!
ReplyDeleteUm, we have tons of Star Wars art and we love it! We just bought three new pieces from the Star Wars Identities exhibition and I recently had Dale May's Coco Vader (Chanel + Vader =awesomeness) and V3PO (Louis Vuitton + C3PO = yes) framed. And I bought the hubs a 400% Stormtrooper Bearbrick for his birthday to display. Geek is the new chic! Can't wait to find our home in Germany and decorate!
