The Ottoman Chronicles

Remember last week when I posted about my cute little foot stool and the other new additions?  Well, that day my when post went up, that same evening I was out shopping with my soon to be sis-in-law for wedding stuff.  And we stopped into T.J. Maxx because she needed something.  Me of course wandered on over to the home section, and I immediately saw this.

I thought it was too good to be true.  Then I looked at the price and it was $54!!  Then I text a photo of it to my husband and he LOVED it and said to get it.  Again, too good to be true.

After that I couldn’t have picked it up fast enough to claim it was mine and carried it around the store until I found a shopping cart.  When I checked out I asked for a discount because the feet were just a little nicked (nothing a marker won’t fix), and so I got a 10% off discount and paid $49 for it!  Always ask for a discount, especially at these types of stores. But I pretty much ask for a discount at any store I go to. :)

I was worried the ottoman might be a little too much graphic print going on in the living room with our geometric rugs, but, we both love it in here and it’s SO squishy and comfy!

I know it’s not a round one like I had been envisioning, but I love it, and the price couldn’t be beat.  I’m still keeping the little mini colorful one in here for now and am using it with my chair.  Never can have too many places to prop up your feet!

And if you are wondering why I’m not showing shots of the full room, that’s because I’ve been working hard the past few days on a few other projects in our living room.  I thought this room was done??  But the changes are pretty awesome, and can’t wait to show you!  A couple of wall treatments may have happened.  Ohhhh yea. :)

Did you all have a good 4th?  What do you think of our newest graphic addition? :)

xxoo,

    I love it!!! I wish we had stores like that here in Australia, our choices are pretty limited, which is a real killer when you are a blogger & see what the rest of the world has to offer!!

    I love it! I have been thinking about getting that rug from Overstock…I like seeing it in a “real” space and it looks great. I also have that fabric that is on the ottoman and have been looking for a place to use it. Looks like we have the same (awesome) style!

    Your newest addition looks awesome. I love how the ottoman and pillows “pop” against the neutral sofa and even the rug appears neutral. Please share the source for your rugs.

    • Decorchick! says

      July 6, 2011 at 6:35 pm

This is what happens when you go to the neighborho This is what happens when you go to the neighborhood petting zoo at Christmas to see the baby goats.🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤪

2 labradoodle puppies were NOT on my 2026 vision board, but here we are.🥰

How could you NOT with these gorgeous colorings?! A red and blue Merle are so unique, and they are the sweetest!🐶🐶

It was my first time going with Randy to one of hi It was my first time going with Randy to one of his gigs. This wasn’t just any gig though. It was a very special wedding for a beautiful couple.❤️

And after witnessing firsthand what all he does for events like this, I have a new appreciation for what he does because it is a LOT.🤯

From loading in setting up three PA systems in 3 separate areas, then immediately switching gears to performance mode and playing ceremony music + sax, dinner music + MC’ing, then reception DJ’ing + sax. It was really pretty freaking mind-blowing to be honest. And then you have to tear it all down! Talk about a full day (I felt hungover the next day and I don’t even drink), but if you are in the entertainment business you get it. And he does this multiple times a month!

So many moving parts, and being flexible when you need to switch gears at the last minute, and he handles it with so much ease. That’s why he’s the professional at his craft.🫶

I was just there more as his emotional support person, but would love to do more events with him where I’m actually useful. 🤪Maybe I’ll learn to wrap up cords the right way one day to his liking, but that’s doubtful. 🤣

It was the perfect new year’s day and can’t wait to do it again!❤️

Congrats @claudine.said and @chefaustinsimmons it was a JOY witnessing your special day.

Reel edit creds- @ellie_allison01 😘

3 years without Daddy and Pawpaw💔 Does life mo 3 years without Daddy and Pawpaw💔

Does life move on? 

Yes, but not without a hazy fog lingering over you that never fully lifts.

Not without the deep ache in your heart longing for more time.

Not without reaching for your phone wanting to call or text.

Not without the family gatherings knowing someone is missing, even though no one mentions it.

Not without crying when you think of him or look at old photos.

I still cannot talk about him without tearing up. Certain songs or sayings break me.

After losing a parent, everything looks different. Time with your family begins to feel more intentional, because you want the moments to last.

The hustle feels less important, because you realize your people matter more than any dollar amount.

Grief and gratitude can coexist. It’s okay to be sad, and it’s okay to be thankful for a dad who is worth missing.❤️
