Home Sweet Home: Living Room Addition

A few weeks ago, while Ben was out of town at a disc golf tournament, I decided to switch around the living room. I had told myself a while back that I wasn't going to bother with decorating anymore because we are planning to move in August, but I just couldn't resist.

I have always had a love for all things vintage/antique. Possibly attributed to my time growing up in Europe and looking for treasures in the local Brocantes, or searching out trinkets on our different travels. Recently I have been re-inspired to go out garage saling, estate saling, and antique hunting. Surprise, surprise. I come home with something new each time! I recently rediscovered Habersham Antiques (HA) which helped us finish our living room set for the time being. The "coffee" table in the center of the room was an old ship hatch from the WWII Liberty Ships built here in Savannah. It was stuffed away in a corn at HA priced at only $150. I later looked online to see how much a table like that might go for on ebay and I found that some sell from $500 to over a $1000 bucks!!! What a steal. Then on the same trip I feel upon the blue vintage couch for only $125. We also found 1960's Shaw-Walker Chair in amazing condition, so we decided to add that to the bunch too.
Some other fun things you'll find in the living room is a collection of artwork by friends ofcourse, my lovey, Ben. The Confederate Zombie feels right at home. Please note the orange retro lamps. Mama Ward picked those up for Ben and I at good ol' Tj's during our last trip home. Also, a special thanks to my friendly neighbor for lending me her curtains. They really soften up the room. Someday, in our future home, everything won't be crammed into one room, but for now I think it looks comfy and eclectic. Just the way the Ward's like it.

Tata & Love, CW
