Living room design inspired by a vintage floral couch
Chair and floor lamp from World Market. Coffee table from Wayfair. Side table and plant from Canadian Tire. Table lamp and footstool from Ikea. I replaced that temp rug with this one.

After temporarily moving to Vancouver for my husband’s job, I found myself with 14 days (the length of our quarantine) to find a place to live AND find all our furniture. So I was thrilled to find this vintage floral couch on Craigslist that the family was basically giving away. It probably shouted “my moms couch from the 80s” to some, but to me she screamed “design your living room around me!”

Based on the couch fabric, I decided to decorate with blacks, creams and hints of green. And because I love the Organic Modern aesthetic, I mixed in some earthy elements as well…

Btw, that electric fireplace from the ’80s is literally one of my favorite things that I’ve ever purchased. I’m so sad that I couldn’t somehow figure out how to bring it home. (But don’t worry she’s living with a friend in Vancouver.)

  1. It’s fun to watch you ping through the decades! When last I left you, it was “mid-century neutrals”.
    I’m glad somebody is showing these oldies some love, even if I can’t join you on the “flowered sofa” page.
