I did update my lampshades by adding some quick ribbon trim {read about it here}, but other than that, things are pretty much the same.
One thing I have been wanting to do is make white slipcovers for our leather chairs. We bought these chairs for our 3rd house back in 2003 and they've been super comfy, but I find that they do seem to eat up the space visually, being dark brown in this light space.
And so, that's what I've been up to. It's definitely not the quickest project but they're coming along. I'll share my progress soon! Happy weekend everyone!

Your living room looks lovely Lisa...it must be lovely sitting in there of an evening with all the city lights outside the window. I love your leather chairs, but white slipcovers might be nice for a change. Have a great Easter weekend. Robx
Love seeing your home and that ottoman is great. My kids would have the best time with that :(
I love your ribbon trim lampshade and the 2/3 cushion!
It looks great Lisa...I love the simplicity and clean look.
So lovely, Lisa.
I have been waiting to see what you did with your fabulous couch and ottoman! I love them so!
You have created a perfect environment for your location in life.

such a lovely, fresh space - I love that you are halfway around the world but kept your style consistent. Those wee adirondak chairs have Muskoka written all over them :)
The room is gorgeous! I love it! I am so glad you shared it with us. You have really acheived the look you were going for. I'd call it...Sophisticated Cottage Coastal. I'd also call it Fab-U-Lous!! I LOVE your sofa and ottoman so much. The leather chairs don't bother me at all. I think they look great!
Lovely room! Really like the sophisticated uncluttered look. Very relaxing! Thanks for the tour.
It's so perfect Lisa. It looks exactly the way a place that's in a hot climate on the beach should look. Perfect!
If your title says Muskoka, why are you in Dubai?? As a fellow Canadian I will sign up to follow....and Where did you get that most awesome table/footstool thingy in your living room.....dear me.....
What a lovely room! So many fabulous details. I love your ottoman!
So pretty, beachy, comfy, and welcoming! Would love to see it in person.
So pretty and inviting! I love the lighting in your apartment....Have a wonderful weekend and Easter!
Hey Lisa! We just got back from 2 days in Dubai where I met up with a blogger friend from Switzerland. I thought about you before we left but then it got so busy. And I didn't even touch a computer while I was there. Your living room is lovely! I wish my home was clutter free but then I have two kids and a cat and have been in the same place for 11 years. I need to purge and organize. :) Have a great rest of the weekend. Tammy
Beautiful, Lisa! So warm and welcoming. The perfect place to relax and enjoy. Happy Easter!
You've been holding out on us! I love, love, love the ottoman.
Love the apartment...also on your profile that you like designer handbags...me too. My daughter in love went to Dubai last year and came back with some lovely bags! Joan
So airy and light! Love it Lisa - you have really created a comfy lovely home there. Hope you are enjoying the heat and sunshine!

Your living room looks amazing. Wish I had as good an eye when it came to interiors
All things nice...
Gorgeous, so chic and comfortable, I still have my eye on a similar ottoman for my house! Janell

I have to ask what color that is painted on the walls of your apartment??? Please do share.
I live in Dubai as well and in the midst of moving to a new villa. It will be getting the interior painted before we move in. Any suggestions? I really need some advice.
