Revamping my Living Room

So the time came to revamp my living room. Every year I say this year I'm going to make some changes and for some reason or another I have never got around to do it. I have reached the last straw. My boyos haven't left anything without being stained, torn or scratched! It is so embarrassing that I stopped having friends over. Not even to forget the overflow of books I'm facing. I have to give up some of my books. (anyone interested in romance books?) I love colors and I get drawn to them very easily, making me forget my objective in finding something stainproof and durable, for at least the next five years. Like the other week I was in Thajeej to get my computer checked when I passed by Midas and decided to stop and have a look. I've been there only once, and several times at their other branch in Shuwaikh, although I like some of their furniture and accessories they haven't had new items since they opened and some are really overpriced. I had my cam with me and wanted to snap few pictures but a sales person told me I wasn't allowed. Still I managed to snapped some pics with my mobile like a thief. So I apologize in advance for the quality of pics.
If I buy this sofa... I will need a disco ball and
Go Go Boots to go with it ;)
Nasty!
This is a tacky LV imitation coffee table.
I found this terrace round tent lounge chair.
Not sure what's the technical name.
Price tag KD600
I just love vibrant colors! Sometimes I go to extremes with
colors but not this time. I'm going to take care of
what I'm going to chose and be very cool about it.
*Sigh* Sooo beautiful cabinets and consol and mirror.
I love this parrot folding partitions.
This table and matching chairs are amazing! I can just imagine it
in my dinning area.
Still I'm going to stay away from these. I need something sturdy and within a realistic price, 3ashan ma at7asar if my monkies inflicted some damage on the furniture pieces.

  2. Colors are soo cheerful... and if you have a lot of natural light during the day it is amazing...

    I have two very good couches two large arm chairs and my favorite reading seat a chaise longue...on a three seater the other is a two seater very good qaulity. I have reached the decision of upholstering them into solid colors… I'm thinking one purple the other green and have a multi colored cushions. Maybe the arm chairs would be pink? LOL!!! When I'm done with it… yeah…it's going to be a circus ;p
    But the awful thing about my living room are the books!!! So many of them!!! I already filled a box... interested in Historical romances???
