Slow Motion

I feel like everything has slowed down here. Nothing has changed in the living room, except that I found some possible fabric for the chair! We actually had quite a bit of it in the basement. The camera's not currently working (battery issues) but I'm hoping to be able to post pictures of the fabric tomorrow. For now, I'll describe it: it's a navy-ish blue velvet kind of fabric. It's really lovely, it's just a matter of whether it will go with the rest of the room. I'm still shopping for footstool-fabric.

As of right now, I am incredibly happy with room. It's much more livable and I spend way more time in it. It feels comfortable and practical and it looks nice. That's really what the goal of interior design is for all rooms. 

I wish I could change the lighting fixture- I'm not a fan of it. I have the same issue in my bedroom.

And now today's tip:

Since we're talking about lighting already- if natural lighting is an option, always take it. When considering that interior design is very much about the atmosphere it creates for the people living in it, natural lighting is a big factor. Not only does sunlight provide vitamin D, natural light lifts moods, naturally. Window coverings are always good to have, but make sure they open!
