Choosing Furniture for Royalview

Such a fun, and important part of our move, has been, and still is, choosing furniture pieces for our new home.

We are going for a lake house/French country home aesthetic and vibe. The kitchen island generously included with our home, has been a source of inspiration in the creative process.

We’re really loving the vintage white-washed look, so that is the direction we are going for our wood-tones.

We decided before we moved that we wanted to keep our dining room table and chairs as well as our coffee and end tables that we’ve had since we moved into our former home back in the 90’s. Everything is still in very good condition. The color was the only issue, so we had all the Hunter Green areas painted white. This was done outside our former home in our driveway.

The transformation was amazing, and we are both very happy that we made the choice to preserve our wooden furniture pieces. Here they are now, in our new home:

Willie and I also made the decision to not bring much of our other furniture pieces along, so we did some shopping before our move, for our living room furniture so that we would have something to sit on soon after our arrival. We purchased a living room set consisting of a couch, love seat, and 3 chairs, which were delivered the day after we moved in. We went with a blue toned set to fit in with our theme.

Soon after our move-in, we went furniture shopping again, this time for bedroom furniture, as well as an entertainment center, plus we both had been wanting an electric fireplace.

We had great luck in finding pieces that really appealed to us.

We really loved the look of this set, with the distressed white-washed wood, and thankfully this is real wood, so yay! Look at the tops on these pieces, so beautiful!

And the attention to detail. I love the brass handles.

We came across a really pretty entertainment center that came with an electric fireplace insert. So fabulous!

Of course, we choose the white-wash finish. We were really excited to have found these pieces, and before we left, we came across some beautiful bar chairs that go very well with our repainted dining room set, so we chose 4 of these to really bring the look together.

Nice! Let’s get it all to Royalview!

Things are progressing very nicely here, and at a good pace. It’s going to be really fun when we begin to get into all the decorating ideas/details. But we have a good foundation going, and we’re liking the look of all the colors/styles that we’ve chosen thus far.

Till next time, stay safe and follow your joy!

Johanna and Willie
