We LOVE our living room. It is the only room in the house that is finished.
What a lovely word.
We sit in this room and dream about what the rest of the house will look like someday- As wonderful as this living room!
Here are pictures of the work we did with the living room:
ripping down the wallpaper
We took off the wallpaper, which took forever and a day. Never knew wallpaper would make me want to start swearing. We eventually got it off and got started on painting. We kept the previous red color from the former residence but we painted the wall again since it hadn’t been painted in a number of years. We repainted the outer walls as well to give a clean and fresh feel.
We love the new carpet that went into the living room. It is a sort of darker brown with light tones of white coloring. I am very happy with it.
carpet doesn’t get any newer or feel any better than this
My chairs and poufs add so much to this room, they tie the blue and read and white together.
The sectional couch we got from my parents a few years ago. I made that button B picture during the superbowl and the lamp we got at a thrift store last week. I made the owl on the entertainment center (not sure if he will stay there), and the picture on the left I got when I was in Ethiopia about five years ago. The picture in the back right corner I found at a garage sale for $5 and there is a sticker on the back that says it is from Kohls and originally cost $165.
Our fish even matches the room =) He is red with blue fins. His name is Comet or Carlos (Carlos was the name of our previous fish, don’t ask) and I think he adds a lot to the room. We have always “housed” our fish in the kitchen because it is easy to remember to feed them there and I guess it makes sense. But I think he looks wonderful on the top of our entertainment center.
Don’t you want to hang out in this room all day long?
