We've had this hideous- I mean,
trusty, console in our living room for far too many years, and while I am grateful for its many years of faithful servitude to our family photos, it was time for this baby to go and make some other early twenty-something feel semi-adult.Unfortunately, my current re-decorating budget is in the zero-to-no dollar range, so any hopes of replacing this with my dream console were shattered. Cue Grandma Cathy and her over-furnished home.
Grandma C was doing some de-cluttering this past week, and I saw this antique table from her bedroom I'd been coveting looking lost and lonely in the hallway outside her dining room. Car seats were moved and we brought her home (the console- not Grandma C). I know it's not terribly exciting news, but if you had any idea how much that Target console was plaguing me, you'd understand. So, without further adieu- I present to you, the new, old, and most importantly- free, console at Casa HMD:
In general, I love a well-executed vignette centered around some sort of a console or dresser. Mine is still a long way from perfect, but it's definitely going places. I've been hoarding images of little entry ways and consoles that make me happy for a while now. Perhaps it's time I shared the love:
Ooohh... I really love that table...very John Gruenesk.... I think that you are off to a great start! I think that a spot of something orangeish might look nice with the blueish background and the gold frame....
ReplyDeleteNice...like the new piece...what is the color of the paint on the wall in the background? Do you still have the name and brand? liking it...Thanks!
ReplyDeleteColor is actually a light green/sage (looks kind of blue in the pic) called Green Tea by Behr (home depot brand). I'm actually getting ready to paint a grey blue color- Green tea has been really good to us- but it's time for a change!We have this Behr color called Pewter Tray in our bedroom and it's my favorite color in the world if you are looking for something similar but a little more blue.
ReplyDeleteGracias, will check them out...Behr is our brand, so perfect!
