my livingroom: furniture

Remember this post where I fell in love with this room featured on Benjamin Moore's website? Well, since then, I have been trying to replicate it on a serious budget. It won't be identical obviously, as we don't have that size living room (and definitely not the same budget). But, I'm pretty excited about what I have found so far.

This table (which I bought in white) is from Walmart. And it only cost me a whopping $14. It's actually very sturdy. Now, if I could put a coat of laquer on it, I'd be set.



Just as a reference, these were the original tables in the inspiration room from Jonathan Adler for $1000. phew!

And then I found this black chair from Overstock.com for $135. The inspirational room had two black leather chairs. The look of them was completely different, but I'm very happy with this one I found.


Since we could be looking for a house for quite some time, we've decided to go ahead and paint the apartment. My next task is just that, finding the right paint color.

I have so many new things to show you all, but they must wait until I'm finished. Just know, that is where my time is being spent right now. Party planning, and sprucing up our apartment.

    It is tiring sometimes, I know, but you will be so happy when your apartment (and someday house!) looks amazing. Bargain hunting makes it even more fun, I think, because then it's not so overwhelming somehow.

    PS I loved Metropolitan by Benjamin Moore...a light gray:)

    I came over here from "everything LEB" and am so glad I did! That table you bought from Walmart is awesome. I like how simple and streamlined it is. And that chair from Overstock is GORGEOUS - what an incredible find!

    I love all of the inspiration pics you post on your site. You have found some really great spaces that make me want to go home right now and finish decorating our apartment! :)
