There’s Something Happening Here

IMG_9257

“There’s Something Happening Here…”

Remember that song?

Buffalo Springfield???

Anyone???

It is a new world when you are SIMULTANEOUSLY obsessed with a song running through your head

and the fact that things with just a little more funk are calling to you.

Case in point #1:

I love this small scale wingback chair that my mother gave me 20 plus years ago.

I love animal print.

Therefore, I really love this chair recovered in small scale animal print.

Case in Point #2.

I love the look of a brass based coffee table (retro-not 80’s light weight)

with an orchid like flower on it.

I found this one in fuchsia

for a steal at TJ Maxx.

The color has zero relationship to anything else in the room,

which makes it even better.

In my living room

“The Times They Are A Changin…” (Bob Dylan)

Oops!

Wrong song.

PS.  It occurs to me that I still have two things which belong to daughter #2 (the librarian):

the zebra rug and her Mary McDonald design book.

I am in big trouble.

Love the post- like the song (yes, I remember it)...I think the pop of fuscia against the animal prints--very funky!

enjoy! -Pat

I remember the song and I love the chair - the whole room, in fact.
I love that you're still teaching your daughters to share :)

I love both of those songs! Now I will be singing cha cha changing all day long! Great chair! You should keep the rug...

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away.

Ha, ha, she doesn't need that rug, or she would have never loaned it to you.

Grandma Yellow Hair said...

So wish you were here making changes to my living room. I could use a song myself.
Hope your having a wonderful weekend
Love
