“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 song and the chair recovered in the small animal print. Thanks for sharing at DIYbyDesign and taking the time to comment. It's all so appreciated.
Love the post- like the song (yes, I remember it)...I think the pop of fuscia against the animal prints--very funky!
enjoy! -Pat
So cute, Laura. Any chance you can get away with keeping the stuff? :) Thanks for stopping by Quirky Vistas and following. It's much appreciated and I'm now your newest follower!

Gorgeous chair. Great fabric and I hope you can keep her rug.
You should have cropped the zebra rug out!;>) I love that chair and I love that old song which will now be running through my head until I fall asleep....darn you~ xo Diana
I really, really liked this. Loved the mix between style and song . . .
I say keep your daughter's rug! : )
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.
So wish you were here making changes to my living room. I could use a song myself.
Hope your having a wonderful weekend
Love
Maggie
