Today is the BIG day.
It's time to reveal our living room refresh.
I have waited patiently for this day to happen
and am so excited to be sharing it with you all today.
and am so excited to be sharing it with you all today.
I haven't shown you many pictures of our living
room because I wasn't crazy about
our outdated 17 year old floral chair and couch.
Our old furniture was donated to the Habitat for Humanity Restore.
I knew eventually I would be getting a new
couch and chair but couldn't pull the trigger to
purchase anything new until I was absolutely certain
of the design and style I wanted.
I'll take you on a tour around our living room
showing areas of the room how it used to look
and how it currently looks.
Let's get started.
How the same view looks now.
Hubby was quite impressed with my furniture selections.
It satisfies my taste for light, airy and comfortable,
yet provides a masculine feel with the
addition of the nailhead trim.

Moving around to the right of the room.
Old view.
New view.
I've already made a change which I will post later.
This next area always seemed a little bare to me with just the
Grandfather clock sitting in the corner.
Old view.
New view.
This picture shows our true wall color which is Gobi Desert by Behr.
It's the perfect neutral color for our living room.
I moved the clock and added a new accent chair,
small table and hung a couple of olive branch botanical prints
that I printed onto cardstock and
placed into these frames that I found at Michael's.
Because this corner tends to be dark I placed a
floor lamp behind the chair. The floor lamp not only provides
lighting it also helps fill in the empty space behind the chair
to create a cozy little corner.
Every morning now I sit in this little corner
to enjoy my morning coffee and check my email.
Continuing around the room.
Old view.
New view.
New view of our chair that is actually a chair and 1/2.
Lots of room in this chair to share with our grandkids.
Although we have a family room in the lower level
we do most of our t.v. watching on our main level.
At night I pull the ottoman over and turn this chair into
a lounge chair to watch t.v., which is a very comfy spot to sit.

Moving around to the front door.
Old view after I re-painted a couple pieces of furniture.

I'm not offended by that, it's just the way I am.
I like to have everything in its' place, neat and tidy.
Our home usually stays clean and clutter free
but we do live in it and it does occasionally
get a little clutter laying around.
With just a few re-painted and new pieces of furniture
I was able to completely transform the look of our living room.
I hope you enjoyed seeing our living room refresh.
That's it for this week.
Until Next Time,
Veronica
