My Blue Velvet Sectional Obsession

Disclaimer: This is a sponsored blog post.  Everything I write and post is 100% my opinion.  If I don’t love it, I don’t post it.  Simple as that!

Several weeks ago I promised y’all a full, and I do mean FULL, house tour.  And guess what folks?  This girl doesn’t lie.  What some of you may not even know is that we have a basement.  When we purchased our home, the basement was completely unfinished.  It was concrete walls with the absolute most disgusting “disco print” carpet squares you have ever seen.  In your entire life.  Now, it is a completely finished and pretty amazing one if I do say so myself.  And in saying that, I have to give my hubby some major designer credit on it as well.  Mark wanted a “man cave” (insert deep, manly voice) and I obliged as long as it did not include the following… animal carcasses, pictures of scantily clad women, light-up beer signs and stained glass pool table lighting.  You know, those long rectangular lights that are a million different colors and look straight out of a dingy college bar?  Yep, those.  So, with fingers crossed, eyes closed and a look of full terror on my face… he got to work!  Here’s the main part of our basement, post Mark re-model…

Impressive, huh?!?  I was a rather proud wifey.  I may have helped with the pool table lighting.  Just a tad.

Although we do have several other rooms in the basement (playroom, bedroom, hallway, bathroom and storage area), this is the main living space.  On the other side of this pool table area, separated by columns, is a “media room”.  Up until last week, it was furnished with a humongous, brown, U-shaped sectional that took up way too much space and added absolutely zero pizzazz to our entirely neutral basement.  Y’all know me and this girl needs some color in her life.  At all times.  With the exception of get-togethers and parties, this space hasn’t seen too much use.  You see, I am a creature of my environment.  I would’ve rather sat in our beautiful upstairs living room watching a regular television than sit on the huge brown sofa in the gray walled room watching my favorite show on a movie theater style projector.  I told you I am weird.

Then came Jonathan Louis Furniture… magically appearing in my life like the sofa savior I’d always dreamed of.  After a couple of arm-pulls, several “pleeeeeaaaaaase” and a bribe or two (wink, wink), Mark agreed to move the “brown monster” out and this AMAZING new sofa in.  Insert the glory music…

So back to how I am weird… designs literally pop into my head all day, every day.  And one day, I just decided that I wanted a rich, velvety navy blue/indigo sectional.  And this was even before the “sofa savior” appeared in my e-mail account.  Not even kidding you.  Something sexy, sophisticated and WOW!  So when we decided to FINALLY jazz up our media room, I took one look at their Bella Navy swatch and my vision for this space came to life!  It’s the perfect blue with the slightest touch of warmth (which makes it a bit more indigo) that coordinates with our warm-ish gray walls and almost black trim.

Jonathan Louis Furniture started with a dream in 1985 to create a fine furniture line that would inspire people to use colors, styles and fabrics to transform their rooms.  Today, Jonathan Louis is a family-owned and operated business that’s an internationally known fashion-forward brand for home expression. They take pride in offering artfully designed furniture that reflects today’s lifestyle and delivers exceptional value.

Although you may have never heard of Jonathan Louis Furniture, you have most likely seen or heard of their furnishings through places like Macy’s and Z-Gallerie.  Our main living room sectional that I ADORE is a Jonathan Louis piece as well!  When it came time to choose the perfect style for our media room, I decided on the Pia Sectional with a removable ottoman.  I loved the fact that the two sides were both long and that the seating was deep.

 My love for sectionals actually began eight years ago when I was rather large and round with our sweet little Addie in my belly.  One day I just decided that I really wanted a sectional.  Mark was shocked but I was determined to find a sleek, stylish yet cozy big ol’ sofa.  So eight years ago after a forever long hunt, we found and fell in love with our first sectional at Macy’s Furniture Gallery.  Throughout the years I’ve made quite a few sofa to sectional converts out of everyone from family to friends to guests.  It’s hard to resist something so cozy yet so cute and so functional.  THAT is hard to find in design!  Although this one is long gone now (I sold it when we moved into this house), it forever left a place in our hearts.  So if you’re newly married, newly homeowners or newly re-decorating, just go straight for the sectional.  You won’t regret it!

So how much do we love our new sectional?  Without the slightest exaggeration, last night my hubby said “this is so comfortable, do you think we make it work in our main living room in the new house?”.  Not even kidding.  Ask him.  It is so soft, so cozy and the absolute perfect fit for our space.  So here’s the grand tour of our new media room!  And keep on scrolling for all of the source links.  Plus, stay tuned for next week’s post on how we use our media room most!

    Would you mind letting me know where you got your lights that are above the pool table?

Can’t even remember the last time I posted a ran Can’t even remember the last time I posted a random house view 💗 Gosh I miss the old IG days! Earlier this week I was drying my hair and saw the sunlight shining through the mirror and had to snap a picture. I’d say our 1908 home “library” functions much better as a bathroom these days 🥰 Just might be my favorite room renovation!
THIS @varaluz CHANDY 😍 I found this audio and i THIS @varaluz CHANDY 😍 I found this audio and it I reminded me of the daily… hourly… sounds that come from my ten year old 🤣 And possibly what I sounded like when I told Ab that she HAD to come see this beautiful new chandelier! It just went up in our historic renovation project and I’m in LOVE ♥️ Sharing more new renovation/design updates on stories today! P.S. We are lowering it for the actual room design but the “box installation” 😉 had it up a bit higher.

Renovating cabins together is where it all began f Renovating cabins together is where it all began for us ♥️ Looking back I can’t believe how much John just leapt right into it all with the first cabin I purchased just six months into dating but those moments are ultimately what led us to eventually take a chance and merge careers. I’ll never forget our 7am chat on the beach over Spring Break 2021 when we decided to go for it. We chose his resignation date and prayed we could make it all work! Needless to say, one of the best decisions we’ve made. It’s not for everyone but working alongside my spouse is something I genuinely love. It’s the joint passion, path, visions, sacrifices and small victories that you get to experience together that makes what we do seem less like work and more like an adventure. Of course this project is complete but y’all know me… always adding and fluffing and zushing and dreaming! Here’s a peek at what we were up to last weekend. P.S. I shared a much bigger and better peek at the newly installed and newly styled pot rail in our kitchen on the blog this morning along with a tutorial on how to drill into tile. P.S.S. @serenaandlily is having their Spring Design Event where EVERYTHING (including sale items and this gorgeous new rug) are 20% OFF with CODE: SPRING 🌺 Happy halfway to the weekend again!

Our Portugal inspired fireplace is complete 💙 I Our Portugal inspired fireplace is complete 💙 I once heard that a home should speak about and speak to the people who live in them… or something like that 😉 and it’s stuck with me ever since. Although we completed the full renovation of our home years ago, my favorite part has been infusing us into making it feel like home. From travel trinkets to family memories and inspirations from abroad, that last 15% is always my favorite design part of all. Sharing all of the details on the blog and here…

Our family was blessed with the absolute sweetest Our family was blessed with the absolute sweetest and most adorable student from France this month and it just so happened to be her 15th birthday yesterday! Although I thought it might be a bit creepy for me to stick to our standard tradition of sneaking into the girlies bedrooms at night for their birthday balloon wake-up “surprise”… I did sneak in Caroline’s room while she was in school yesterday. I know it can’t be easy to be away for so long so I wanted to treat her like my own and do a little simple something. It’s been such a blessing to have another kiddo join our big, crazy family this month. Joyeux Anniversaire Caroline! 🇫🇷
