"work in progress"

Every time I sit and watch design show, Dear Genevieve I get really sad that she isn't in my house helping out. And my disgust usually goes straight to the room we are normally in-the living room. Even though I still have yet to reupholster our wing back chair and ditch our cheapie bookcase, we made a big step towards something I am much happier with. We swapped our old TV stand for a glossy black bamboo dresser.

To be fair, we used to have a much smaller TV up there.

Feels much more grown up.

P.S. I have applied to be on Dear Genevieve ...without a response. 
If anyone knows someone that works on the show, let me know, please!

LOVE it. Looks so good.
I'm sure you follow Genevieve on twitter. Butter her up over there- I always see her responding to fans.

PS-I still have my wingback waiting to be re-upholstered too. I feel like this is the year!

Lindsey said...

Love the new piece! And I would love to get on her show as well. We have a Jack and Jill bathroom that is just awful.

I love it! ....as for the bookshelves, I literally had the same set, but shorter - and was gonna toss them too but did this {http://www.lovemaegan.com/2010/11/turn-old-wood-shelves-into-chic-mini.html} to them and now I love them. It's supremely easy and will match your new dresser ...for the time being anyway, until you do "ditch" them ;)
