preview: living room mini make-over

Over the next few months, we'll be redecorating our living room. It won't be a MOVE THAT BUS moment at the end, but the room will look a bit more unified, I hope.

Part of my first step was identifying a common theme in some of the stuff I already have. It's funny, I love the Jonathan Adler oh-my-god-bright-colors! aesthetic, but really, I'm from the Midwest. I can't take myself seriously like that, as much as I wish I could.

So here's some of what I have, some of what I'd like, and where I think I'm going.

Clockwise from top left: Trey Speegle mixed media, Pier 1 mirror, ABC Carpet rug, CB2 couch.

It'll all make sense eventually. This week I'll show you what I'm working with and it will be painful.
