Our new coffee table arrived today. I’m no interior designer so I wasn’t sure if I picked the right color. The (landlord’s) furniture is all wood and since we chose a brown sofa I thought having a brown coffe table would be too much brown so I chose cream instead. Well the coffee table was supposed to have clear glass on top so I could display coffee table books beneath it but when it arrived, the glass was frosted. Hmm… to return or not to return?

I also took a picture of our fake orchid (I know, I don’t like fake ornamental flowers either but I don’t think I can get big orchids like those for cheap.) and plan to have mirror images of them printed on canvas. They’ll be displayed on top of the 3 seater sofa. I’m still a little iffy with the pictures. I need more lighting and I only have flourescent and the sun to work with. But that’s the idea. Suggestions are welcome.

Our walls are painted ice blue – kinda the same color as the frosted glass. I want something orange/yellow to pop out of the wall. It’s funny how our casa has the same motiff as our wedding. It wasn’t intentional.
