Fall Pillows and Chairs

I moved the furniture around a month ago or so.  I finally decided to share with you a couple of new things.

I wanted a brown pillow for the sofa and found this leather look pair at Pier 1.

While there I spotted the rusty orange beaded leaf pillow and it was on clearance (a hold over from last year $13.97)

To me these had just the right color and personality that I needed for the sofa. 

The white pillow shown in the first picture above doesn't actually stay on the sofa but it looks nice so I presented it that way first. My reality is that it looks like the picture below.

Bloggers try to show things like magazines but this is my reality here- the cats have a small bed and I keep a small blanket above on the pillowback because they like to snooze on the center there.  Each evening they hang out by me while I watch tv.

I've created a new area with the game table which has been in many locations of the room over the years.  More on that in a bit.

This was the day I decided to move everything around.  It's a lot easier with the furniture mover pieces underneath but it's still a lot of work.  The green stripe chest is really difficult- heavy! 

I tried a few different ideas but finally ended up with the sofa by the wall so I could have the two wingback recliners flank it.  I've already figured out that I can put the Christmas tree over by the right side of the tv when that time comes so I'm not going to move this again. Really..... honest.... I won't....  I promise....lol....no seriously I wont!

I used to have two green upholstered chairs that were originally purchased to go with this table.  (Shown below) 

Problem with them was they were too wide to actually go between the table legs.

I found a new chair on Lexington's website and then did a store location search.  I lucked out and found a store fairly close by.

I took the two green chairs to a re-sale shop and they sold the other day so I am tickled about that.  I've had them stored and covered in plastic for several years so I feel good about reducing the extra stuff I have stored and earned some money to boot!

I found this light golden and creamy white zebra pattern and fell in love.  I knew it was going to be an easy fit and I was tickled to get a little animal print in the room.

These chairs can also be used for extra seating at the formal dining table so they'll come in handy for more than one reason.

I did a panoramic shot of the room to better understand the layout.  

I still haven't pulled out my fall deco yet.  The pillows were my first step out here.  

I've been consumed with watching the tv about Hurricane Irma.  My son and his family had been at Disney World for the week.  They left Friday morning and at first the roads were fine but then they found themselves stalled on the freeway so they opted to get creative and jumped off on less traveled roads.  It took a little longer than they anticipated but they finally reached their destination for the day and will be working their way back to Pennsylvania.  I'm so glad they're far away now. 

By the time this is posted this the hurricane will have made landfall.  Praying for everyone especially those who couldn't leave or chose not to.  I have two great-nephews that I just learned are with their mother near Fort Myers and she plans to stick it out in their house.  I'm so scared about what is going to happen.  God help them all.
