Room Planning: Living Room Step 1

Everyone loves a skillful earlier as well as after.

Today, I wanted to affect alittle chip of decorating for your home. One of the most ofttimes asked questions that I get... is "I don't where to start, where produce y'all start?" So, I idea it would last helpful when I started the chore of revamping our front end room to last to a greater extent than household unit of measurement friendly, less formal... as well as to a greater extent than livable to document that hither on the blog. So, if you're wondering where to start, I volition last doing a serial of spider web log posts edifice on each other to larn y'all to a completed it's never consummate if you're me room.  Or at to the lowest degree a room y'all tin sack experience skillful virtually :-)

You walk into our front end door which is below to the left as well as y'all are greeted yesteryear almost similar a row agency home. Very long as well as narrow... but VERY opened upward concept. We bring existent oak floors inward a natural destination as well as the front end window ordinarily lets inward alot of light, peculiarly inward the mornings. Before, nosotros had a couch nosotros purchased minute paw sitting against the major wall to the correct as well as some strange chairs throw into the mix amongst left over side tables. It was non fifty-fifty remotely some my style. I purchased that french chair amongst the hopes of recovering it....and every bit y'all tin sack see, I started violent it apart as well as took a long break. There's a mis-mash of styles going on inward this photograph as well as at this point, I was looking for something for the wall higher upward the couch... something large as well as that spoke to me.

The couch amongst the chaise inward this room was non working for me as well as thence nosotros sold it on a local yard sale page for basically what nosotros had inward it...and off to Ikea nosotros went. We picked upward 2 Ikea Jenny Lund Chairs as well as the loveseat... only,  on the agency out of Ikea...I idea I should banking corporation check Craigslist 1 concluding fourth dimension to brand for certain none of these items were on at that topographic point that nosotros could perhaps salvage some coin yesteryear buying minute paw from some other family. Low as well as behold, an Ektorp loveseat had been posted like shooting fish in a barrel the nighttime earlier for a fraction of what nosotros were going to pay new. We basically threw that couch dorsum into its department as well as left amongst solely our chairs as well as novel covers inward tow for the novel loveseat/chairs. 

The french chair volition last getting recovered as well as volition discovery a novel domicile at my mama's house. We are completely starting fresh inward this room...and if I don't dearest it, every bit inward gasp when I meet it or merely HAVE to bring it, I don't demand it. Folks, that's how y'all know y'all actually dearest something. When your view beats alittle faster when y'all meet it or y'all merely can't seem to larn it off your mind.

We opted for a smaller sofa that fits the scale of this infinite much improve every bit good every bit the chairs. We demand seating for functionality purposes as well as that was also really of import to us. I also bring our domestic dog bed behind the chairs because this room is supposed to last comfortable as well as lived in. I also conception to add together some fresh greenery for pops of color inward this space...and obviously, personal photos.

 Ok, as well as thence higher upward is the infinite if I'm standing inward the dining room... 

I'm correct close the entry wall here, really some our hall agency but non quite...

 This wall higher upward is the largest wall every bit good every bit the 1 behind me spell I took the photo. Since this is a long as well as narrow room, as well as thence to speak, the walls are really long too! 

And here's a persuasion looking from close the loveseat inward wards. My vision is to bring a sofa tabular array every bit good every bit java tabular array inward this space. I also conception to bring a modest rug, some peachy as well as unique accessories as well as a disceptation slice on the wall. We also demand to recreate some storage every bit good every bit some functionality when y'all kickoff motion into the door for coats, keys, etc. as well as also somewhere to position our shoes. :-)

I can't hold off to demo y'all the residuum of what I'm planning but I'm waiting on a for certain shop called World Market to bring a sale as well as thence I tin sack purchase a few things from them... Or they tin sack merely ship those things correct on over to me as well as thence I don't bring to bargain amongst all that. "Ain't nobody got fourth dimension for that!"

I'll proceed yall posted!
