I am in limbo with our living room. (For reference,
this is what the room used to look like.) We have recently made a lot of changes that I like, but I still have some ideas that haven't come to fruition. Namely, new upholstered chairs, a rug for the entryway, and curtains. Maybe sheer roman shades too. Maybe a giant leaning mirror to the right of the piano (I found the
perfect one at Ikea.)
I ordered the couch from Alice Lane and I am very happy with it.
We bought this glider when the twins were born. It was in the bedroom forever, and now it is sort of a place saver. There's just too much gray furniture in here now.
I found that brown and white basket at Target. The kids sometimes use it as a garbage can. It is not a garbage can.
This is the entry. I have purchased 3 rugs for this area, and returned 2. The 3rd is a
gray and cream striped one from Crate and Barrel that has found a permanent home in the master bedroom. It just seemed like it would look too dirty, too quickly with dusty feet coming in and out the front door. You can click on my Pinterest link on my sidebar, and see all the other rugs I am considering, under
home again. This side table is from overstock.
Here'e a rug I just discovered today and I really love it! I'm not convinced I would like it with my paint color. In fact, my rug judgment has failed me thus far, so I cannot be trusted. But it's just so pretty. And I wasn't even looking for a Native American-style rug. That's the beauty of pinterest. (thanks Abby and Brooke White).
My
sister gave me this temple artwork for Christmas. I love it.
And there you have it. More than you wanted to know about my living room.
