Our living room has gone through some decorating changes this summer.

It all began with selling the painted baby grand piano.

Since we are planning to move to our lake home one day, (which is yet to be built),

I decided to sell off a few things we wouldn't be taking,
 like the piano to get prepared for the eventual move.

Then we impulsively bought a lilac colored sofa at an estate sale auction 

and played with where to put the sofa, since the piano was gone. 

Yes I said "WE", as hubs egged me on to buy it because it looked

much more comfortable than the Swedish couch we had.

 Also. the lilac of the sofa and the blue color of the wall just was a bit too much

for my taste, and I hated how the sofa looked against the staircase banister.
So that was going to have to change....

The couch went back between the windows, but not before I 

painted the walls a neutral color, French Canvas, by Benjamin Moore.

The corner where the piano was gained the mora clock from the front

entry area and the small French provincial desk.  

The Swedish trundle bed/sofa that started off in the living room last year,

was moved to the dining room for seating along the farm table.

I have been reupholstering it in a blue and white gingham.

I painted a pastoral mural to hang above it, however it ended up being moved

into the living room as seen in the previous pic above.  One thing leads to another,

and our home hasn't...
