I'm wanting to buy the exact one and with three kids it'd be nice to know if it has been a good sofa.<br /><br />One more question, is it a hollow frame? Like if you push on the fabric on the sides and back is there any give?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />ElizabethElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18061949260396144662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149136651520192500.post-51066760665223356392014-11-11T20:16:09.856-08:002014-11-11T20:16:09.856-08:00I love this space - not surprising, since I think ...I love this space - not surprising, since I think everything you do is awesome. Love the wall color and the orange rug in here. And i love all the storage in the bookshelves. So handy to have so much storage. And so smart to use the mirror and lamp and such to distract from everything going on on your wall.

It is an interesting color combination I have not seen anywhere else in blogland! And it totally works.<br /><br />Do not feel bad about not making the Ikea shelves mock built-ins. Bloggers do stuff like that and it seems like it’s going to be so difficult to remove or work around as styles and tastes change, or if you want to rearrange the furniture. I scratch my head when they tie themselves down like that. You kept it very versatile.<br /><br />I have to say, I had white baseboard trim and wood-tone window casings, and eventually it drove me so crazy that I did end up painting the window casings. So be forewarned, LOL!! But all in good time. It bothered me more than anyone else who visited (or even lived) in the house so I let it go a few years until I was itching for a project.<br />Erin_Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08291043990334247624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149136651520192500.post-36695598919621490992014-10-31T08:07:11.328-07:002014-10-31T08:07:11.328-07:00It looks wonderful!!

I love that you re-purposed so much from your last house. <br />If it were my own space the only thing I would change is the colour of the curtains.

But this is not our 'forever' home and Shaun's job is currently very up in the air as far as relocation opportunities. If something opens up back in the North Chicago area, we will definitely move closer to family. That along with one income, means we aren't doing very large or expensive projects in this house.

That was my favorite thing to do at our new home, while we purchased a lot, it was fun to find new homes for items I thought might not fit in our new place. <br /><br />I do like that couch a lot - our new furniture is a gray color and the fabric almost looks like gray denim, sort of odd but works well. I wanted a sectional (I like the center corner) but the hubby veto-ed that idea. I think if he saw yours he might reconsider. I love all the shelves too, well done. I can't wait to see the rest of the home come together.<br /><br />PS - I love your dining table and chairs!Kelly @ turned UP to ELEVEN!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17316990503032552760noreply@blogger.com
