This is the view to my couch, a place I am trying to spend some more time on these days as I unwind at night.
On the other side of the console table is another loveseat, which you can't see.
I love the idea of creating a cozy nook with two loveseats facing eachother. I find I tend to cozify my decor in the winter months, when nesting takes place - don't you?
I traded this console with a nasty ex beau; in return he got a (hopefully termite ridden) chest of drawers another ex brought me from the trash - talk about trash romance Karma!
Mt stinker of an ex said he bought this at auction and it belonged to Canadian parliamentarian Stanley Knowles. Who knows if that was the truth?
But I dig the table anyway - think it's actually a vanity as there's a ridge at the back where a mirror should attach. I like using as a divider in my living room. And generally, I like a clean look with no clutter under tables, but an old wicker chest piled up with decor mags and a worn handpainted wood bowl (and with a gorgeous thrifted purse hanging from the handle - I get off using fashion accessories in my decorative vignettes), made the look a bit more sloppy boho.
A smattering of beloved hardcover books - from ballerina Karen Kain to thrifty decor - are piled on top.
Another purse: the silk Banana Republic clutch bought at a consignment shop therefore found a home on top of a book.
The crystal tea light holder under the thrift shop lamp and garage sale shade was also thrifted. My sis received two exactly like that as a gift from a person who loves buying expensive gifts, so I know it's worth something (but that's not why I bought it reader: of course I love it!).
