Can I just share with you that my living room is one of my favorite rooms in my home?Ā I think it is because at the moment, it is the room that is the most decoratively complete and the most “me”. Ā This room has color, personality and definitely decorated on a budget with pieces collected over time. I define my style as Vintage Traditional. I love mixing antiques, collectibles, found items and pieces with special meaning into my decor.
So…come on in and let me show you around.
I kept all of the furniture pieces neutral and added pops of color with accent pieces, pillows and curtains.
Speaking of furniture, this antique sofa was free! Can you believe it? I have a friend that owns an upholstery business. This sofa was given to her in multiple pieces and she was going to throw it away – I know…don’t even get me started š So I offered to put it back together with a little bit of assistance from her husband. I purchased very inexpensive fabric and my friend upholstered the sofa for me. I can’t express how excited I was to get this antique beauty in my home!
The sofa legs are hand-carved swans.
The arms are hand-carved too.
The mirror above the sofa is another hand-carved piece that I purchased at a yard sale for $50!
Like a lot of you, I make the rounds at TJ Maxx and HomeGoods – in fact I call it the pilgrimage, as I visit my local stores. I typically make a beeline for the home section and visit the clearance shelves first. You would be surprised at the deals I’ve found on those wonderful aisles. On one particular visit I found these three decorative wooden mirrors for $5 a piece. They are the perfect addition for this odd wall behind the chair.
Luckily for me, and not too far from my home is a hotel furniture liquidation center. The coffee table is super heavy and needs two people to move it. The table is quality made and cost me a grand total of $30!
IĀ was so excited to find this painting at a local thrift shop. I was ecstatic when I discovered it was only $9 and that it matched my living room perfectly!
The antique harp table is actually a game table. The top of the table spins and can be opened up as a larger, square table. This piece has been moved all over the house – I love how universal it is.
Y’all know that I’m obsessed with moss balls š This one is placed in an antique silver sugar bowl.
The hydrangeas were cut from the yard…aren’t Summertime flowers the best?
This bisque lamp is another clearance purchase from HomeGoods…
I separated all of the green glass from my beach glass collection and placed it in an apothecary jar.
Y’all have seen my painted wing chair before…yes, the fabric is painted š You can read that post HERE.
I love this antique teacup especially since it was a gift from my mother. The vintage linen is also a gift from my sweet friend CoCo.
Do you remember when I showed you how I transformed this carved wooden box?
The brass pieces are vintage memo holders.
The curtains are some of my all-time-fabric favorites. I originally made them for Jennifer’s home when she lived in North Carolina. Not long ago I reclaimed them from her to add into my living room.
The antique mahogany table has made the rounds, so to speak. When I lived in North Carolina I purchased the table from a friend at a yard sale. A couple of years later I sold it to another friend and then bought it back from herĀ a few years later. I was thrilled to get it back…sorry Ladies š
The pottery piece on the bottom shelf is handmade and a gift from my dear, young friend Lauren. I was amazed that it matched the curtains perfectly.
This living room is my favoriteĀ room because every piece in it has special meaning to me. I remember where I purchased each piece, who I was shopping with or who gifted me an item used in the room. Ā I love drinking my morning coffee on my painted wing chair while talking on the phone with my friends. This room is like a favoriteĀ pair of jeans – well worn, comfortable, cozy and loved.
I hope you liked the tour š We’ll see you back here tomorrow!
Beautiful!! Such a great space with so many special touches. The navy and green are two of my favorite colors. Thanks for sharing the stories to your pieces…that’s my kind of home tour š Hugs!
Angie you are so sweet. Hopefully one day you can come and see it in person! Thank you so much!
Great job!
Can’t thank you enough JJ.

Hey Kris – thank you so much! You kind words mean a lot to me!
WOW!! Your living room is beautiful!! I love all your decor, so different but it all comes together so beautifully. But we must talk about that molding!!! Was is there when you moved in??
Hi Amanda – some of the molding was in the living room when we purchased the house. We added the other molding after we bought the house. So glad you noticed š
Vicki, Ohhh I loved seeing your living room sooo much. What a gorgeous room, the molding and colors are fabulous. I can’t believe the sofa was free….WOW. Each piece and find is just beautiful and styled so fabulously. LOVE it all, Lisa
Thank you sweet friend! I’ve definitely curated all of the pieces over time. I think you can appreciate how much I love this space š
WOW! I am overwhelmed by the beauty of this room! You are one classy lady!
Girl…you’re gonna make my face turn red š Thank you so very much!
Very pretty! I love your colors! I am so in the neutral rut right now and I am ready to get out! Thanks for sharing! Pinning!
Hey Misty – I know what you mean. I definitely love neutrals but sometimes I like to throw in some bold color.Thank you so much for your sweet words!
Love your living room! The wall color is gorgeous! The sofa (I cannot believe she was going to throw that away!! lol) and harp table are just beautiful!! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Hi Sherry – Can you believe that sofa was almost a goner? I cringe even now thinking about it LOL. So glad you like our wall color and decor. It means so much to us that you stopped by!
Oh my I LOVE this room too! So much character and I love every piece you’ve put in there. That couch is absolutely gorgeous!! Sharing on Facebook tomorrow afternoon!
Hey Sydney…Thank you so much! This living room is definitely filled with love and joy. Thank you so much for sharing it on Facebook too! Have a fabulous day.
Vicki and Jennifer,
Your living room is beautiful! I can’t believe someone would throw out such a beautiful couch! We have a hotel furtive liquidator not far from us too, I am ashamed to say I’ve never been there. Honestly I just figured it would be a ton of garbage furniture, but I love your coffee table. I will definitely be giving them a try now! Thanks for sharing girls!

Simply stunning Vicki! This room is positively magazine worthy. I love your mix of vintage and traditional style. It’s gorgeous. Hugs, CoCo
What a fabulous living room! I really love that sofa, what a treasure and it’s perfect under the mirror too!
Your living room is beautifully put together — thanks for the tour. I found you via Brynne.
It’s easy to see how much fun you had collecting this room Vicki š The result is truly beautiful and so unique. I love the navy and green accents ~ so fresh for summer. I can see you in the white wing chair with your coffee ~ perfect for the Queen Bee! Thanks for sharing with us! Bwg ~~~
So beautiful, Vicki!! Thanks for sharing! I LOVE that end table that’s beneath the picture from the thrift store. Soo pretty! Love all the green accents throughout! xo
