Our living room is coming along… Here’s an update of how it looks as of today!
All that junk on the sofa table? Just keeping it real.
But the living room has made a lot of progress. We’d like to thank Kev’s parents for the beautiful blue rug. It was our Christmas gift. If you’d like it, it is the moroccan trellis rug in Blue on Overstock.com. We got it on a sweet Black Friday deal.
You can also see that the artwork above the fireplace is now mounted and the houseplants are gone…because we killed them. Whoops. We had no real great place we liked them in this house so I guess it doesn’t really matter. Poor planties. I also switched the position of the chair & tiny table & switched it out with another lamp we had in another room. I like it better this way, but I have to shim up the other leg of the chair so its stop wobbling (only one leg is on the rug).
The Living Room POA-
Here’s the living room plans-
Paint fireplace grate- Buy new curtains
- Possibly buy a new more fashionable blind
Buy an area rugBox out the hidden windows- Probably buy a new couch
- Build built-ins on each side of the fireplace that are mantel height & the TV can be hidden in
- Paint the trim glossy white
- Paint the front door
Mount the artwork (I made that) above the fireplacePare down on the houseplants.(actually we accidentally killed them.. so that was an easy step…unfortunately)
I’ve actually bought a couple different pair of curtains to try out here and haven’t made a decision yet. They’re probably all going back to the store. We also picked out a huge (96in) bamboo shade on discount from Home Depot the other day as well. I am hoping to get that hung up in the near future. When I go into the living room now I feel really at home. It’s starting to feel warm and inviting instead of just a mishmash of things thrown in there that we already owned. We haven’t really bought a lot for it, but the little adjustments make it feel more intentional than its previously thrown together. Happy home.
