a glimpse of the living room

This week I'm sharing just a little shot of our living room- there's a lot of work to be done, so this is as good as it gets:) The lamps are from Dubai, the rug is Thom Filicia's Griffith Park in Seaglass, the coffee table is vintage from eBay (more on that later), and the pillows are all CWD Textiles- Peacock Scallop, Berry Signature Pillow, Navy Signature Pillow, more on the sofa below. 


It's always been a dream thought of mine to have a coral linen sofa.  I put it in my dream home post on la dolce vita, but I didn't think I would do it just yet {and to be honest, I actually didn't think my husband would let me!} But what can I say?... I'm a lucky girl and my man doesn't have any worries about sitting on our coral sofa.  He happily watches sports on it all the time without hesitation:) 


I got the sofa from Monarch Sofas (formerly called Sofa Craft) in California. The fabric is COM (customer's own material) Pindler & Pindler 2259: Winston. It cost me a ton to ship to the East Coast but it was still a better price than my other vendors.  


This pillow is a sample I had made while I was testing out colorways for CWD Textiles. It's Zabeel Chevron pattern in a heavy gold foil.  It would be quite expensive to produce, but who knows...maybe I'll do it if I get enough requests!

  5. The gold chevron pillow is perfection. If you ever produced it, I would buy it. Your living room looks great. As a designer myself, it's hard to find the time and energy to work on your own spaces. It's like the cobblers children not having any shoes ;) Love seeing your home as it comes together.

  12. BEAUTIFUL! I love love love this room! That couch & those pillow textiles are beautiful together! I laughed about the comment that your husband sits on it comfortably. I know for a fact my boyfriend would not be willing to oblige & he would have to be paid a lot of money to have a coral couch in our house. Haha! You have amazing style! :) I just HAD to pin this to Pinterest! Haha!
