living room

so i keep telling everyone that the only room in my house i dont love is the living room since all of our furniture is currently second hand and a little worse for wear but it will have to do until i get my tax return. this is the last year that i will be getting all my taxes back (one of the many perks of being a university student) so i figure i might as well put this last bit of money to good use and buy living room furniture that i really love that will hopefully last us a while. i know i should not complain because there are tons of people out there that dont even have living room furniture but honestly, i dont think its too much to dream about a chair without holes in the arms? is it? maybe...

thankfully the blanket my sister got me for my birthday matches the sofa we have almost perfectly.
it honestly makes the sofa look 1000Xs better. 

this picture is strategically taken from an angle that hides the yellow stain on the bottom of the sofa haha

i love these candle holders.
i got them at value village for 99 cents each.
according to the sticker they are blow glass from italy - doubtful. 

yes, i definitely should wipe down the fireplace 

i think that the wood looks awesome white - it does need one more coat though

* at the moment we have about 6 apple cinnamon candles burning, so delicious and cozy.
