The Male Equation
The other night, I was in a Pinterest-induced stupor, conjuring up images of
what will be
in our newly-purchased house in Virginia - code name:
Wallingford
.
(because I know you want to follow
)
Initially, we'll take a live-with-it-and-plan approach on a lot of the house, but we're tackling a few messier projects before or as we move in. One of those is the Family Room - or what we'll use as a family/tv room.
For starters - it is
vewy, vewy
small.
...and nondescript.
My hope is to do away with the circa 70s paneling, add some much-needed mill work, and turn it into a jewel box of a room, all glossy, cozy, and layered like so...
Key to my plans are: rich, high-gloss paint (color TBD), and saddle/caramel leathuh.
So, I was stoked when I saw
MCM-esque leather sofa from JCPenney getting good reviews. The Hubster's not the biggest fan of this style, so....
Me: "Ben, do you think you could stomach this sofa for the family room at Wallingford?"
Ben: "It looks like I would slide off."
Score: Ben - 1 Sofa - 0
How do I compete with this?
Happy Monday, peeps.
(P.S. - no baby, obvs)
