Or either wood actually now that I came back to it.

Hubby likes the darker and I like the lighter, this should be fun lol

Either really go Julie! The darker may look richer?

What do they look like setting on the rug?

I think he has a point that the darker will prob be more compatabile with furniture down the line. The lighter is very 60s/70s “yellowy orange wood” as he calls it Hahaa

I like the darker lol

Actually seeing it like that against the carpet the darker would be my choice too! Dang it I hate when he’s right heehee

😂

Well that helped really bc that’s where it will actually be. Thinking it has a more expensive (?) look! I know nothing 😂 but thought to look at it that way? I hate that too here Julie! Lol

Hahaha thanks Alice it was a great suggestion! Fingers crossed I’ll purchase tomorrow! But it takes a couple months I think to finally get it. But it’s American made which is pretty great :)

Well that’s great! Oh my, ok, well I’m hoping it will go fast! Still might make it by Christmas!

My choice would be the green/blue/gold fabric--that's just so pretty! And the darker wood. They would work great with the green geometric. It's coming together so well!

I agree…I too …prefer prints that don’t POP too much are easier to live with .. over time and are softer on the eye… plus with more soft colors that you can introduce elsewhere in the space

Also soil is less likely to show on this choice

If your husband thinks he made a decision, he may back off around other ones where you don’t agree. That’s a “win”.

I’m gonna get in trouble with you, but the fabrics you’re showing aren’t doing it for me. How do they look with the toile curtains? My usual rule of thumb is to keep fabrics in the same room as having the same design density. Does the one you prefer work with those? Is there any way to photograph the couch, fabric samples and toile curtains in the back?

I guess you didn't like the leaf ones but whatever one you choose they're not that bad of materials but I do have a friend that has this bulky chair in her living room that looks like a potted plant it's got green and and big leaves in it and stuff like that I can't stand it but I can't tell her about it cuz when she spends money on something she doesn't like to get rid of something so I leave her alone she didn't take me shopping she didn't ask my opinion so I'm not putting my nose in it I'm just mentioning that but her house is kind of small just like mine is minus and that large at all under I have less than 900 ft I wish I had $1,200 or more but more cleaning then right!

Okay table is ordered!!! And redryder I didn’t love any of the fabrics enough to purchase. The chair would probably come out to close to 1k and I can’t spend that kind of money lightly. So as slow as this process is just taking it one piece at a time. Once the table is here I think I’ll have better idea for a chair :)

Did you get the darker finish on the table?

Yes Diana!

Great choice! It's coming together so nicely--I totally understand not rushing, especially when something is expensive. You have to really know you want it to part with the $$$!

Glad you’re holding off. Upholstered furniture - and doing new upholstery - are expensive and have to be perfect. Your decisions so far have been terrific.

Any updates? Have you made a fabric decision?

Hey redryder they called yesterday my table won’t be in until the end of December!! :( besides that I’m
Still looking at pillows online but haven’t bought any. We’ve been sick here for about two weeks just a lot going on

How does this combo look?

Or this combo?

I like the first combo!

I like the first combo as well Julie!

I like the first combo, but I think that many pillows are not needed. I would pick the plaid and horse scene, not the others. Two of each is all that is needed.

🤷‍♀️ but the blue is in your drapes. Tying that together :). Can you do returns if you don’t like them? Have to play with something whilst waiting on the table 💗

Etsy has tariffs Sadly.

Love the first combo. Don’t use the solid blue ones. The pillow patterns have a touch of blue in each and that is enough.
Sorry your family was sick.

I'm with RedRyder--the solid blue pillows don't add anything. Get the patterned ones first and see if you need anymore. If so, be brave and use more pattern! (Can you tell I like pattern and color???)

Just to let you know that I practice what I preach--here's the fabric I'm using for new living room curtains and pillows:

Thanks for the advice and I appreciate the pushback on the solid blue! I want more pattern 100%!!! but I feel like I’m not good at it. I love the maximalist style! Diana that fabric is amazing! Love the bedroom pic! Please share with us when your curtains are made!

Will do, Julie.

I think you are on the right track, and are better at this than you think! Nothing wrong with taking your time--I'd been eyeing that fabric for over a year before I pulled the trigger!

Love pattern…it’s pillows! Just have a good time playing!

If you need more pillows, post them and have @Diana Bier Interiors, LLC give a thumbs up. So far, you’re doing fine. (I also think solid pillows are blah and rarely add anything to a room.)

Ok these are all on Etsy aka no returning but I haven’t changed the selection now in a while so I think I’m feeling confident enough to purchase. Wanted to share!

Nice combo of prints… it should look good. I look forward to seeing them in situ.

Yes those pillows look nice I think you could be able to order them specially since you think so and if you hate it you're stuck with it though or you'd have to sell it or give it away as gifts

Nice combo Julie. I would go ahead and order if you haven’t. Worse case scenario is there could be one you don’t use in that space, but may like all of them. I have pillow covers, not too many, but yea 😃 that I ordered then some are tucked away and I get them out from time to time and switch them out in different rooms. I even purchased two the same and will use just the fabric for something like a decorative chair cover or who knows what?

I like those. Might consider piping on a couple in a brighter color from the fabric. Red/orange tone possibly in velvet. Something like that.

Oh I love that idea, Flo! Contrast piping/welting is a great way to add some oomph to a pillow or even to upholstery.

Love the piping idea. Have purchased a few pillow covers just bc of the piping. Added it to my search engine for our living room rocker pillow a few years ago. Really dressed up the space.

Hi friends sorry I took a break bc life is lifing! Baby turned 2! I had a birthday and yea. Don’t hate me, I never ordered pillows lol I’ve been living in the space and I created some
Art behind the desk with my toddler! Have her acrylic art in the colors of the room to make some abstract masterpieces heehee. I need frames for them but I love the look of it. I went back to the drawing board of pillows tonight and found some new stuff on Etsy! It’s heavy on the green but I brought back my favorite lumbar for the pale blue. Thoughts? Why I love it is it has that grandma floral vibe I love, and a hunt scene but so different than anything I’ve seen before!

I love it! It's calming & soothing with a 2 yr old! Happy b'day to big girl now!

No need to apologize--as they say the days are long but the years are short with children! Enjoy every precious moment--the house will still be there when you're ready to continue.

Any of those pillows would work--I like that they go together with everything else but they're not matchy.

That’s a good combination too. I haven’t seen that equestrian one either, but it’s fabulous! Etsy is a really good website, isn’t it?

As a retired art teacher, I’m all about framing up the artwork of the toddler, and just keep going! And the pillows are a total score! I would snap them up immediately. Getting the florals with that touch of blue in them? I also particularly like that style of pillow and those are a winner. They are a great combination. Merry Christmas and thanks for checking in.

Yes! Excellent combination of pillows!
