Looking for a "grown up" decor

I watched A LOT of HGTV this year.

And finally sick of the way my apartment had no theme or continuity I started making some changes. Sorry there are no before pictures...I was a little excited and just started going for it.

I painted my chairs black & I found this great picture of the Brooklyn bridge. The shelves aren't really there I thought I wanted them there, but when I got them up, I didn't. So, thankfully, my landlord gave me spakle & paint & they now hang where I want them.

They still need to be filled up so I'll take another picture in the future. Never thought I'd have an area rug, but "they" say on HGTV that it helps define an area.

I like it...I can now find my dinning room. Ha Ha!

I also covered my denim couch with a suede looking brown.
Just a few more things & on to the bedroom.
