A Moth To A Flame

Hello Everyone!
The new furniture is here! It actually arrived a week ago
but it has taken me this long to get some decent photos.
I sure hope you like how it turned out. It has been quite a
surprise since what I ordered was gold and this looks orange.
I have yet to figure out why? Does anyone know? I've heard
of taking a paint sample home to see how it reacts in your
room but never furniture. Or maybe I'm the only one
who did not know to do this beforehand. Needless to say
it has been an adjustment and since I purchased it with
no refunds, well you get the picture. Yikes. Hello orange.
I have a feeling when we move it will look different again.
It's from Ashley Furniture and is called the Burnham.
Join me for a tour of our family room!
The room glows with warm colors as you enter from the foyer.

A close view of the column coffee table and area rug.
The views from the kitchen area.
The love seat backs to the fireplace.
Not a thing we can do about the layout at this time.
I have visions of a better floorplan in our next home.
I'll take you house hunting in about 7-8 months. Yay!
I decided to embrace the orange and found a plaque.
They are both from Cato. I always find something there.
A view from the stairs looking down.
The coffee table is very heavy and well made.
I bought the rug at Marshalls.
The end table matches the coffee table.
Most of the accessories came from Ross.
Notice the curved wood detail on the furniture.
This is the matching chair from Ashley.
It is a relaxing spot to curl up with a book.
I'm still searching for the right throw.
The tv armoire is the reason the room must stay this layout.
That is one piece I do plan to replace when we move.
The details are lovely on the carved wood tables.
Here is the Ashley Burham set shown on the website.
Hopefully you can see the difference and see the gold color.
It was also gold when I saw it in person in the showroom.
I guess it's something about our home and the lighting.
If you have any other ideas why it changed color let me know.
I would really appreciate it.
My all time favorite *orange* guy in the entire world.

Thanks for the kind words on my new blog design.
I plan to change it up every 6 months or so.
I enjoy working with Jenn and getting a fresh look.

Have a wonderful week!
