Ever since we moved into our home over a year ago, I've been trying to figure out what to do with this extra space in my living room. I finally decided that what the room really needed was additional comfortable seating...basically a good place to curl up and relax or read a good book!

After Christmas I felt like I needed to add a pop of pink to fill the void of all my Christmas decor. Pink flowers, pink kitchen utensils and candy dishes, and even pink pillows helped to give my space a fresh and cheerful look and get ready for Valentine's Day!

I found some very similar ones here>>Industrial pendant light The large vase on the counter was ...
