Update from Miss Mustard Seed

A few days ago, I shared the new arrangement in our family room as well as the progress on Calvin’s room. I said I would give all of the details on the new pieces of furniture and this post is making good on that promise!

我承认，家具店从来不是我的菜。给我一个跳蚤市场，古董店，旧货店或庭院甩卖!我的大部分作品都是在那里找到的，我为自己的机智和能力感到自豪。但是也有一些物品是很难找到二手的，而且新旧搭配也很不错，可以让家更舒适、更实用、更耐穿。

A Room Fit for the Family

A few months ago, I rearranged the furniture in my family room to a two-sofa setup in an “L” shape. One sofa was leather and another wore a white slipcover. The pieces fit well in the room, it was nice to have more seating, and it was comfortable, but it looked a little disjointed and awkward. What we really needed was a sectional.

I knew there were some stylish sectionals out there, but I cringed at even the thought of bringing a sectional into my house! Even the word evoked the idea of some monstrosity with cupholders and mauve upholstery that looked like it was ripped out of a Winnebago.

I combed through the newAshley HomeStorecatalog, angsting over which sectional was “the one”. I kept coming back to Salonne three-piece sectional. I was concerned about the light color and more modern styling, but I went with my gut and ordered that one.

We absolutely love it. It’s very comfortable, yet supportive, it’s neutral in color and style, and it fits the space like it was custom-made for it.

我喜欢有深座垫的舒适沙发，你可以陷进去。This one definitely fits that bill, but it does have a nice spring to it as well, so you don’t feel like you’re going to be eaten by the seat cushions.

我特别满意的是它的面料。我有点担心它的外观和感觉，但它是可爱的燕麦色，柔软，持久的编织。尽管它很轻，但它看起来不像一种布料，六个月后就会脏兮兮的。我告诉过杰夫和马修他们吃莎莎酱的时候要和沙发保持安全距离!

The sofa came with seven pillows. The fabric is nice, but not really my taste, so I’m going to recover them. The great thing is that they are feather-filled pillows! It was like a little bonus gift. I am a bit of a feather pillow snob. (Again, I like to sink into things!)

I’m playing with some fabrics to make new covers, but I just used some pillows I had for right now. The oatmeal color of the upholstery works perfectly with the linen and hemp pillows I had.

I also found a TV console and coffee table for the space. If you remember, I sold the French provincial buffet we’ve been using as our TV stand for a few years at Lucketts. I was ready to let it go, but I didn’t have a replacement lined up for it. For a few months, we’ve been using an antique dresser that didn’t fit the space well.

I’ve been combing craigslist for an apothecary-style cabinet piece that would fit the space. I found one that was almost perfect, but the drawers were way too small for the components and it was about 3′ too long. I could hardly believe it when I found theKeeblen TV Standfrom theAshley HomeStore.

这正是我想要的，而且它并不是古董，这意味着它的背面已经可以容纳电线，抽屉的大小也刚好适合Xbox。In fact, all of the drawers are actually cabinets…

…so all of the “ugly stuff” can be behind closed doors.

I like the rustic look and feel of the finish even more than I thought I would. It adds just the right amount of warmth to the space.

And, then there is theVennilux coffee table. It looks like an old Lineberry factory cart with the added functionality of having a bottom shelf. We’ve had an ottoman in front of the sofa for a few years, but the tufts caught all of the dust and fuzz and the fabric was really pilling. It’s looked grungy for a long time, so I had it covered with a quilt most of the time.

然而，随着组合式沙发的增加，我们失去了两个沙发之间的边桌，所以我们需要一个坚硬的表面来放置饮料等。咖啡桌为我们提供了一个地方，支撑我们的脚，这是我们都喜欢做的。

It’s nice that it’s on wheels, too, so we can move it out of the way if we need the space for a wrestling match or cushion fort.

I am just thrilled with how the family room looks now and I like it more and more each day. It’s just the right balance between pretty and practical.

Calvin’s New Space

We also made a few additions to Calvin’s room to make it look more masculine and boyish. I was originally thinking I would keep the white iron bed, but as I started working on his room, the shape and style of the bed were just too feminine.

I stepped out of my decorating comfort zone and ordered theWesling Panel Bed.It definitely has a bit of a modern edge, but the distressed boards framed on the headboard and footboard make it work with my style. It’s also a much better fit for the room, since the footboard is low, even with the height of the mattress. It makes the tiny room look a little larger.

I kept the white bedding I had, but added theAlecio Quilt还有海军里的骗子。它们平衡了白色，让它看起来更男性化，但也不会太孩子气。当它需要用作客房时，它仍然会看起来很棒。

I also added theBeldier rug, a knotted cotton/wool rug that works with our black/gray/blue color scheme and is soft underfoot.

This room is an awkward size, so it doesn’t fit the “proper way” a rug is supposed to fit under a bed, but to an eight year old boy, it provides a soft play area and he loves that.

哪个小男孩的房间没有豆袋椅会是完整的?我选择了Teardrop Shag豆袋椅，这款椅子不能在网上买到，但可以在Ashley HomeStore的指定地点购买。卡尔文喜欢在上面跑步和潜水。

I’m sure the time will come when he wants to actually curl up on it and read a book, but for now it’s a stunt accessory.

And Marshall wants one, too. I’m sure all sorts of antics could happen with two bean bag chairs.

I hemmed the curtains already, but I still have a few more things to do to the room, like swap out the curtain rod, add a light and valance above the desk, deal with the closet and dresser, add some book storage, etc. So far, though, I love how the room is coming together and, more importantly, Calvin loves it.

I’ll share more on his room progress and all of the rest of the sources in another post.

Another side note on working withAshley HomeStore,as someone who moves a lot of furniture, I really appreciate it when people do it well and they do it well. Their team was professional and careful. They padded all of the doorways and stair railings with moving blankets and wore booties over their shoes, so they wouldn’t leave anything behind but the furniture. They also provided excellent customer service, following up with a phone call to make sure everything met my expectations. I haven’t ordered a lot of new furniture, but I’ve never had such stellar care.

Anyway, things have stayed pretty much the same for a year or two, which is a long time for me, so it’s been a lot of fun for me to spend some time on my house again.
