The Lively Living Room

Now when I saw this is long awaited.... I mean this is 1.5 years long awaited. And its still not perfect, but what in life is? Im SO excited to share the transformation of my living room with you. It's come a LOOOONG way.

 





Since the rest of the house is more vintage style, I knew I wanted to go with something fun, trendy, and a little more modern. If you remember, my mom helped me make mustard chevron curtains last year. And I knew I wanted to paint the walls grey, which trusty Harry and Tiff came to the rescue to help me with that. But other than that, I didn't know how else to decorate my living room.

My dearest sweetest patient friend (yes, I clean her teeth) is an interior designer. After a few appointments of me venting to her about my frustrations of empty ideas, she asked me to let her help me. And did she ever! Macy Mason at Designs by MK transformed my living room from shab to fab. And I mean that literally. I had a few things going, but she helped me pull all of my ideas together with her master plan she created for me. What a blast it has been working on it and trying to replicate her layout below:


Pretty freaking adorable, I know right!! I took her advice and couldn't be happier. Although some of the stuff I bought is a little different, it is still apart of the same design/color scheme. :) Go check out her blog HERE! She is incredibly talented!!

All we need now is a grey couch and a few more finishing touches. But for now, we are perfectly content. (Especially considering every piece of furniture was given to us besides the ladder shelf).

Here are the rest of the picture of our living room. We absolutely LOVE our rug. (Harvey is enjoying it as well).




Little note about this beautiful quilt: Nathan's grandma made us this as our wedding gift. I told her I wanted these colors in our bedroom, but ended up using them in our living room!! And it couldn't look more perfect on our couch. Thank you, Mamaw!! 


The "Wedding Ring" pattern


Okay. Now prepare yourselves for this. When we moved in - this is what our living room used to look like haha. This is what I was working with, people. Baby diarrhea brown walls and this really awesome fire place..... LOL! I actually kind of like it. We moved the TV to the other wall!







Hope you've enjoyed seeing this transformation!
