We started looking at living room furniture and dining room furniture last October when we put down a deposit on the house. Although our current furniture still looks good after 12 years, they just don’t fit our new “Modern Farmhouse” style and I think it’s perfectly OK to switch styles after so many years, but it seems such a waste to just throw away or even to donate the coffee table, TV console table, and dining set.
We found a home consignment center not far from our old rental unit. We visited them back in July and briefly showed them some photos of our furniture. They were interested and said to email them all the detailed shots to see which ones they would take. They ended up taking most of them, which was good news.
While we were waiting for the house to close, we visited several Restoration Hardware home galleries here in the San Francisco Bay Area as well as in Toronto when we visited my parents back in April. We fell in love with their living room and dining room furniture. We love that they use reclaimed/aged oak wood (which is my favorite) for certain pieces and their prices actually are pretty reasonable compared to other home furnishing stores. It’s also nice to be able to sit down with their designer and figure out which pieces work with our space.
Here is our Balustrade salvaged wood coffee table…
And this is our French panel aged oak media console with the distressed black bronze hardware and crémone casement!
This 10ft x 14 ft Ben Soleimani “Puerto” rug in a sand and mocha color was 70% off with the RH member price! We wanted something that would complement our wood-like tile floors.
I sourced the pillow covers from different stores/retailers – West Elm, IKEA, Etsy, and Costco! The living room is slowly coming together! 🙂
