Finishing up the Living Room

Well, I'm not sure I can say "finishing" definitely, nothing ever is really finished, is it? What I can say is complete is the large wall of Pearl Jam posters. I got the final two (for this wall) back from the framers.

There are still ten more to frame, I believe I'll be putting those in my husband's office. There are still two on this wall that are in cheapo plastic frames that I need to reframe to match the rest.

The next element that completes the living room is a chair I scored last weekend. There are some great thrift stores in the Seattle area and when I lived here over a decade ago I had a run of 5-7 that I would hit in a day. Now that I'm back there's a couple I've added to the list. It's a great way to spend a Saturday and on our second stop right when we walked in this chair was staring at me AND the whole store was having a 50% sale.

So it went from $34.99 to $17.50 I picked this chair and ottoman up, it's in really good shape, some wear on the cushion and there were some stains but we rented a steam cleaner and they all came off.

Amazing, isn't it? $17.50!! (and how cute is my cat? I love that pink tongue!)

The arms show a little wear like there was a back cushion there and you can tell by sitting in it that it needs something on the back, so for now I'm using this pillow but I've got my heart set on a Jonathan Adler needlepoint one.

 I was leaning toward the Ikea lamp too but when we got the chair in the space the pole one just works so much better with it. I'm so thrilled with this find!
