it's all coming together

Henderson Armchair from Wayfair

We took possession of the new house on August 17th, so we're just over two months in, and considering that short amount of time that we've been in it (and the fact we're working full time) the house is looking pretty good. Slowly but surely, the rooms are coming together. We're waiting on a few pieces of furniture we've ordered and working at getting artwork placed and hung. 

We ordered our new sectional in between the purchase and closing, and luckily it was delivered the Saturday morning of our move. Having our main couch in the space has helped it feel put together from day one. We painted, got new bar stools and our gorgeous new dining table was delivered a few weeks back, which is a key piece in the open concept space. Our coffee table is on order and we're left hunting for two remaining pieces for the living space on the main floor - a rug and a chair. 

We've designed the space to feel bright and light, with warm wood tones throughout. The walls are a light blue-ish grey and our couch is a textured white/light grey fabric. The above floorplan gives you an idea of where the chair will sit - facing into the living area of the main floor, but the space is so open, it needs to be a good looking piece from all angles, because it is very much visible from the dining and kitchen space.

(this style and frame, but with natural canvas and white leather cushions)

Nola Swivel Glider from Oilo

(I actually found this in a baby store - it's a nursing chair, but 1) it's Gorgeous and 2) so friggin' comfortable!)

Gualtieri Armchair from Wayfair

It's obvious from my inspiration picks, that I'm leaning towards something with clean, modern lines in a more neutral color that will have character but blend into the space. I'd love to add bold pops of color (my dream would be to have a sofa/chair in a jewel tone velvet), but will aim to do that in a less permanent way, with artwork and accessories. 

I'll work at putting together a post to show where we're at with the house so far! We have photos from the original listing, so it provides for a pretty fun before and after comparison!
