I am finally getting around to posting pictures of our living room space. It took me a bit to get decent pictures (nothing like my MIL coming into town to get a good cleaning in), and there are still some things we need to do to the entry area of the living room, but this will do for right now and we are pretty pleased with the space.
We want to put some artwork, a clock or maybe some floating shelves on the wall over the tv.
The couch is from Pottery Barn, the pillows and curtains are from Pier 1, the leaning book case in the corner is from Crate and Barrel, the side table is a hand-me-down stained brown, the coffee table is from T. A. Lorton super discounted, the rug is from Lowe’s or Home Depot, the desk the tv is sitting on was a great find at an antique store, and the chairs are hand-me-downs that we plan to reupholster in a more contemporary fabric.
We wanted to put a bench on the empty wall by the front door so we could sit and take off shoes, etc., and then also put a mirror on the wall instead of the circle wood art. Our problem is the vent that sticks out from the wall – we have to find something that won’t block the vent. The pillows in front of the vent are there because the cats love to sit right in front of the vents when it is cold. The table is from World Market, as well as the art work. The lamp is from Bed, Bath and Beyond.
Our dining space is tight. It also serves as the spot I do extra school activities with the kids and as an office space. We bought this small dining room furniture off of Craigslist. The bookcases and cabinets are from Target.
I just love the design of this circle wall art. Once we get a mirror, I think this would look nice over the tv. This wall art is from World Market.
So, there’s our living room/dining space. It is a vast improvement over what we had before and is much more grown-up.
