We were out shopping today, mainly because I saw this great little table at Crate & Barrel... We used to have a little glass table that butted up to the couch that we loved. It was space saving and convenient. We also don’t have traditional end tables, so it’ nice to have a place to set a beverage while you watch TV. Sadly the cats broke that table and we have been looking ever since for something similar. I thought that little table in brown would be perfect.
Well, once we got there we kinda loved the green. It’s just so different! But, to go with the green we obviously had to re-toss-pillow. Of course. So we did. They also had these great striped pillows with the brighter green as well as some of our other colors. The old pillows never matched anyways so I figured we should try them out. So here is the before picture (old camera, obviously):
Kinda okay, right? It’s a weird space, so the picture angle is from above in that one. Anyhoo, now for the updated greens added…
UPDATE: The new pillows didn’t make the final cut. So sad…
I don’t think it’s too bright. Of course, my nook once looked like this…

So, ya know, take my opinion on the “brightness” with a big grain of salt.

funny, seeing how yellow the inside of our house actually is you’d think we’d not be afraid of color anymore… heh. the room does look brighter now!

Posted by cheapblueguitar on 04/29 at 06:00 PMI think it looks great! But you should take my opinion with a grain of salt too since I stil have quilts hanging on my walls.

I think it looks great! All the color makes it look very lively and bright. The table is also very cute!
I want to come over and sit on the sofa now.Posted by antisocialite on 04/29 at 09:42 PM@sharon i admit, it was a stock foto from last year. i had already re-pillowed and was too lazy to put it all back for a picture
so far richard is still unsure. i think it is the pillows with the drapery that bugs him… but they still sit on the couch. now the table we love regardless!
