house tour: living room

I have decided, since the rearrange (ie since I love my home again) to post a few pictures of our living room. Each week, I’ll post pictures of a different room of our home, which will serve two purposes.

1. It will give me a reason to clean

2. It will serve as a before and after for when we add/change furniture, and for when I decide to up and rearrange again.

Today’s room is the living room. All of a sudden it’s filled with yellow, blue, and green. I like this color combo, but it was a bit unexpected.

Nevertheless, here are a few pictures of our living room as is now.

A few changes you’ll expect to see in the next few months are.

1. Add curtains: a room just isn’t the same without curtains, I don’t care who you are.

2. Add a floor lamp for behind the sofa area.

3. Add cushy chairs.

4. Put something in that beautiful frame my brother-in-law made for Jer and I.

5. Change up the mantle, this is one of my all time favorite ways to switch it up decor wise (besides rearranging, of course!)

Ikea will solve all of these issues in about a month.

    Firstly, your couch looks amazing! Sooooo comfy cozy.

    Secondly, girl, you have got style! If you lived in Germany, I would make you come help me decorate my house.

    Thirdly, I think I might post room by room pictures too to make me clean. What a great idea. No one has seen our new house so how fun! I think by doing that it will motivate to me a.) clean and b.) hang pictures up that we still haven’t (3 months later!)

    Can’t wait to see your changes and the rest of the house!

    Thanks Jill! My walls are a cream color, very subtle, but not white! An ikea trip will do us good, and on the cheap!
