Living Room: Rearranged

We live in a split level home and the first room at the top of the steps is the living room. I feel it needs to make an impression.


Lately it’s been sad and lonely looking.

I’d like to slipcover the sofa. Add some personality. Even thoughts of painting the walls have been swirling around my head. I need to figure out how to marry together four key components.

1. A clean, crisp, airy feeling

2. My love of vintage items

3. Kid friendly room

4. Ever changing colors schemes (it seems I have a different color favorite for each season)

My heads telling me to go white or neutral, I just can’t seem to take the plunge. I’ve been putting off doing anything, hoping a plan would form in my head.

So far – Nada!

I finally said “THAT’S IT - - NO MORE WAITING AROUND”, I just need to do something to help out this poor, sad room until a plan is realized.

I started scrounging around the house looking for anything that would work. I added curtains, moved furniture, and brought in a few accessories until it looked a little more cozy.

It’s looking better.

I need to find some sort of end table for by the couch. The wall above the chair needs something, anything - - just don’t know what.

Any suggestions?
