Mid-century Modern Living Room and Entry

After purchasing our living room sconces back in June, we finally finished installing them last weekend. I’m not sure why it took us so long to get around to it (::cough:: laziness ::cough::), but at least it’s done now! It really pulls the living room together, so now we can shift our attention to finding a larger rug (preferably vintage), styling the space, and adding some much-needed color. Honestly, I’m always impressed with (and probably a little jealous of) bloggers who seem to pull together rooms in a matter of weeks, but man, house things are expensive and you really need to love what you buy for your space. Plus, I want our house to look like it’s been collected over time — even if the only vintage pieces in this vignette are a couple of candlesticks and that cute silver-plated vessel for cocktail picks that we bought in London.
