Beautiful new furnitrue, Cynthia and it goes great with your decor. We are finishing up our family room and I’m going for a rustic look, but probably more antiquey (is that a word) than woodsy. I really like your look, but not sure it would go in our 1840s house.
LIVING ROOM

Notice how I didn’t even “pick up” the living room before taking this shot. Normally, it would have really BUGGED me to have those books lying on the floor when I’m taking a picture to post on the blog. However, there you have it. Our living room.. as is… being lived in. We like to sit on the couch or lounge around on the floor when we’re doing the “couch” portion of our school work. That is a big pile of books on Africa, geography books, an atlas of people from around the world, an animal atlas, and more.
I’m also posting a closeup picture of the detail on the couch because you’ll also see similar little tacks on the mirror we bought for the adjoining dining room. I know I’m a little quirky that way, but I like to find little detail things that tie rooms one to another.

We’ve never had leather furniture before so I don’t know which type of cleaner/enhancer to purchase. If you know where I can buy some let me know. I’m sure a furniture store would carry some, but we bought this set at Costco and they don’t sell leather care product kits.
