Living Room Complete

I've been working on re-decorating our living room on and off for the past five months. I don't think I can be entirely content with the outcome until I move the TV down to the basement (when it's finished), and get rid of those masculine black cowhide club chairs. A formal living room, in my view, should have more elegant seating like this and this. After all, if hub could claim his man cave in the basement, I certainly deserve my Petit Trianon.

So here are some latest pictures of my living room. The only thing missing is this Pemberley Grey Rug that's forever on back order. It's probably about time for me to look for an alternative.

A few weeks ago Grandma surprised me with this gift -- blue and white porcelain vase from Qing Dynasty. I think it works nicely with the rest of the decor in the room.
