This is our living room. Well, this week anyways. I have this nervous tic that causes me to rearrange things monthly... at least. But I think this time I almost love it. I can almost leave it alone.

| This table was purchased via Craigslist. It has a lovely story that goes along with its purchase featuring 2 hour-long drives, a house in the backwoods of Pasadena, a shirtless mystery man with lots of tats, a tattoo artist, bribe money, 2 ragamuffins, and some Windex. | | |

Clint took me to one of my most favoritest of places this weekend (IKEA!!!) to purchase these peonies and the white table tray. And maybe 2 hotdogs, a large Pepsi, and a bag of Norwegian chips for under $5 (and there would have been frozen yogurt purchased if it hadn't been for a mechanical malfunction). But seriously, IKEA is the stuff dreams are made of, don't chya think so?

| This little grouping is covering up some massive plugs leading to the back of the TV. It is the only part of the room I can't quite figure out. Any suggestions? |
In other news-- I guess I have always known this, but this image just settles it...
Our future babies are gonna be HOT!

I would love feedback from any and everyone regarding the living room. I feel so close to being done, but I know there is something missing. Curtains, for example. But what kind? And an area rug would be nice, but there are just so many out there. Unfortunately I have expended our decorating budget. It started at zero and it has now drifted into the negatives. So, I gots ta find it cheap. And by that I mean on the side of the road...
Yes, you will have adorable babies. obvi.
ReplyDeleteThings I really like in this room:
The books are cute. I really love the picture set-up. Artsy and adorable. Perfect table decorating. Cute cute.
However, I'm not digging the clock, because right next to the TV it makes the room feel weighted with square-ness in one corner, especially with all the pics on the wall. The clock detracts from the lovely arrangement. I think it would be pretty much perfect without the clock. Just my opinion.
I don't think you need anything else but curtains. The other day, a friend of mine moved out of his apartment and I got his curtains. Brilliant. I think Hilary W. had some red curtains in her apartment if I remember correctly, and she's moving. Maybe ask her? Good luck!
I say ditch the books and just get some cute plant to put there...but that's just me. Looks a bit cluttered with all the books and stuff...but again you do a much better job than myself at the rest of the decorating!
ReplyDeleteThank you Amy and Anonymous (who are you?! I am dying to know ;)). I think those are great ideas. I'm getting a plant to replace the clock...
