My Little Corner of the World

Hey everyone...
My living room is definitely still a work in progress,
but my little blogging/watching TV corner is almost finished.
I have to be honest...I really like sitting in here.
I'm in charge of my very own TV and even get to control the remote.
I don't have to watch ESPN or Fox News anymore either. 
There's one word for that...awesome!

This is the first thing you see from our entry.


I saw the picture below a while ago and it really stuck with me.
It's a little too formal for what I'm doing
but I love it. It's where I got the idea to hang the pictures
to the right of the chair. Still not sure my version is exactly right
but I'm getting there.  Sort of.


I still have plans for the stools under the sofa table.


The little sketches were a gift from my daughter from
her summer abroad in Austria.
The frames are vintage treasures from my parents.
I'll show these up close and personal in another post.


I've signed on to advertise my Etsy shop on
Marty and I are hosting a giveaway this week.
Make sure to visit her blog in a few days for all the details.
This grain sack pillow cover is what's up for grabs.


These are a few new additions to my shop.


This sofa table is easy to switch up so 
you'll be seeing lots of different looks.
The pumpkin under the cloche is a PB candle
from a few years ago.


The slipcovers on the chair and ottoman
are from Comfort Works.
More on that to come too.

So there you have it.
My own little corner of the world.

Love, love, love the pillows. I've always thought of using really pretty antique buttons in frames like that

NanaDiana said...

It looks wonderful and how nice to have a corner of your own! I can't believe those are purchased slipcovers. They look custom made. I don't know that company at all but I will find them now! xo Diana

Hi Ann, I like your little corner. It's nice to have a space for one's own enjoyment. I have mine as well - away from the music videos's my hubby enjoys. However I don't have a laptop that I can use in my corner (yet). I like the slip covers on the chair, ottoman and stools. Hugs, Pamela

Elle said...

Hi, Ann. So beautiful in its simplicity! I've shared this on Facebook. I like the slip covers, too.

Love your cozy area. What you control your own remote? How did that happen? I would need to get out the instructions on how to make it work. LOL Your new grain sack pillows are awesome:)

Marcia said...

I absolutely LOVE what you've done, Ann. Looks simple and clean, exactly what I seem to be going for around my home these days too.
I love that pillow sack. Must check out the giveaway.
Much love!

You are lucky to have a little getaway spot in the house like that. I know what you mean about having to watch sports or in my case the military channel. Yuck! As our kids get older and gone, maybe then I'll have a room to myself like that.

It's all so pretty Ann. I am stopping by because I saw the giveaway, which is funny because I was just peeking at your new pillows yesterday, they look stunning! My favorite is the blue stripe, but the red with the floral background is awesome as well. Thank you for the chance to win, tami

I love your cozy corner. My living room is a work in progress too. One that I haven't been working on LOL I am finally going to start decorating in there before I start working on our bedroom redo. Beautiful pillows, great giveaway!

That looks like one cozy corner to relax in - and don't we all need that. It's hard fitting everything in that we have to do so a peaceful corner to rest and recharge is so important.
