Taking our time has also allowed us to accumulate a lot of inspiration (all of these beautiful pictures) and research each piece of furniture more instead of springing for a filler piece.


Right now we're still focusing on our living room. I love incorporating lots of rich, durable textures and easy natural tones into the mix. Our most recent find was this great leather arm chair.

Rich doesn't usually make a lot of design demands, but he put in a special request for one of these masculine leather beasts. However, leather is very tricky to get right. Cheap leather is the worst, and even decent leather can look like the worst if its too pristine. We both had it in out heads that we'd need a vintage one that was already well loved and perfectly worn, but our treasure hunts didn't yield any good results. Every good quality leather chair was either way too big or way too expensive...except one I found in the UK...but shipping was more than it's modest price tag...bummer! After searching high and low, we totally lucked out and found this one at a very deep discount at the Restoration Hardware outlet in Leesburg--the same outlets we happened to find our very first favorite piece of furniture, a glass door teak bookcase which we use as our sideboard and china cabinet., which came from the not extinct storehouse, sniff :(

The chair is very low, which we love, but the rest of the room needs to be rounded out before it really fits in. The following are pieces I'm considering...



a lamps for the side tables flanking the sofa
for a chair on the other side of the fireplace
However, living rooms are not our only focus these days. We're making some sweet waves in the fashion world as well......
