Catching Up- July 2014

After the last two Family Room updates (here & here) , I realized that we've had quite a few decorative additions that have been overlooked.

My parents recently moved to a new place (closer to us- yay!!!)  They've lived in the old house for 40+ years!  To prepare for the move, they sorted their treasures and passed some of them to my brother & I for our homes.

Here are some of the items that have been added to our Family Room...

I already mentioned the pie crust table, which I placed between our two new chairs:

An antique mantle clock:

I was afraid it would be too formal looking in the family room, but I don't think it is... especially now that I have some nicer furniture in there (the new couch, coffee table & chairs)!

An antique brass oil lamp:

A reproduction electric parlor lamp:

I think this lamp IS a bit too fancy for the room... but the color is perfect, and it rally looks pretty when the sun is shining through it in the morning.  I don't know, I may end up moving it into the parlor, once we have the addition built... but for now it'll stay here to keep from getting broken! 

A small round marble top table:

This table is the PERFECT size for next to the chaise lounge!  

I feel like it needs something on top of it... not sure what yet!

I love the eclectic feel that these items have added to the room.  Plus I grew up being surrounded by these things, and it's cool that my boys will grow up with them too!
