The cushions were sale finds at Freedom furniture(brown) and David Jones (cream raw silk). And the picture is a birthday commission I ordered for myself from my friend's artist hubby a few years ago - and is of Raglan harbour in the North Island of New Zealand.
This is a very fine place to read, watch movies, craft, or stretch out for a nap...... or listen to a CD chosen from some of my collection housed across from the other end of the sofa (lounge/ couch!) The CD rack was especially posted in from the States via my friend Nancy as it matches the shelves I have my TV and stereo on. The gas heater on the left is very useful in the depths of Canberra winter (the rest of the year it's home to a rotating bunch of interesting bits and pieces.) Above the heater is a groovy poster of Wellington Harbour in NZ I bought from the Te Papa gift shop on a visit back and next to the heater in the little cubby is a magazine rack for books that need to go back to the library.
To the right of the CDs is my $10 Robin Day chair (boy was I happy to find that!) and next to that you can just see my $45 sideboard.And across in the other corner is my $50 armchair next to my $45 coffee table under my $35 light fitting. And see that picture above the armchair?I bought her as a souvenir on an early trip to Sydney from Canberra and had her a couple of years before B quite helpfully pointed out she has a ferret in her hair. So she's now been renamed "Ferret Girl" and as often as B hints I haven't banished her and her furry friend quite yet.
One thing I don't have in my lounge is books. I figure they tell visitors far too much about you me so they're all stashed away upstairs. Instead I have a large Kaleidoscope House dolls house behind the sofa.
Yes, as the doll house would tell them nothing about you at all. :)
