The crown molding still isn't finished. We still have to fill in nail holes and paint....BUT it is up. :) And yes that is a refrigerator in the background. HA! I have to say it is pretty interesting living with a fridge in the living room...hahaha! And that is a little sneak peak of our new couch.On another note. We went antique shopping this past weekend. Found several pieces i would LUV to have. While i didn't bring home one of those items...i did bring home a new painting. It is HUGE! I don't know how old it is but i don't really care. It is Gaw-jus! It is just my style. I love black and white photographs and i love to paint in black and white as well. This oil painting is of an old street in Paris...the Eiffel Tower is in the background. It is all in black and white but the store front windows have light. The picture doesn't do it justice. Right now i have it hung in the Master Bedroom but it is going to be in the Living Room when it is finally finished.
Speaking of antiques...my husband came home last week with a few. I had found a small antique buffet on craigslist that i wanted for my entryway. It was the perfect size and i loved the look. It needs a few repairs but the price was right so he went and got it for me.
He also found a vintage leather sofa that he has been eyeing for some time now. At first i wasn't so sure about the style...it is very "Manly" but now that it is in our house...i LOVE it. It looks very "Pottery Barn". It does show some wear but that makes it look just that much more awesome. AND let me tell you about big and comfy. Well...it's big and it's comfy...HA! :) I'm going to give it a good hand rub with some leather sealer. Leather needs to be loved and taken care of. Most people don't do that. Leather can last forever if you just take care of it.
No, this isn't our couch...but it is just like this one. Ours is buried under tons of stuff right now (our whole living room is crazy right now cause of the remodel) but i will be showing ours off as soon as i uncover it and give it a good cleaning. :) I want to give you an idea of what it looks like though.Other than that we just enjoyed the wonderful weather the Lord gave us this weekend.

Mark refuses to do leather! I'm slightly jealous of your couch. :)
LOVE your living room! The crown molding looks fabulous. I have to say this room looks a little different than before. ( That's a good thing. :) )
Can't wait to see the couch! Your house is going to be so gorgeous when you get all done. I was in love with it the moment I saw it.
