Living Room Decor

Last year, I told myself that I would finally decorate the living room when the kitchen, dining room and half bathroom are nearly complete. Now that the garden is on autopilot, I can concentrate on the living room during the summer.


Capiz Mirror from Target. I want this so badly, but it's out of stock :( There is a round version of this from West Elm, but it's sold out!



Antiqued mirror from Pier1.


Avington Console table from Target. It's nothing fancy, but it matches the TV stand that we already have. As for a console, the drawer and bottom shelf was important for me for storage.


Hemnes Side table from Ikea that I'm thinking about using as a coffee table. Since our living room is very intimate, a full sized coffee table just gets in the way. I want to pair this with an ottoman, so I can put my feet up as I watch TV.


Spring Green Floral Cube storage ottoman from Target.

Walnut Photo Tray for on top of ottoman/coffee table.


Adair Floor lamp from Pottery Barn. These are just for ideas. I like the neck on this lamp since I read a lot and would need it to reach over me.


Leafy Prints from Pottery barn. I would make these myself.

Rug Hunt: For weeks, I have been on a hunt for an area rug for the living room. I want something full of COLOR and contemporary. For one, everything is already beige in our living room. Second, I need it to hold up to all the traffic. I still haven't found what I want and what I do like is way out of my price range. I'm torn because it feels like such a big decision since the rug can be the deciding factor on which way the living room style will go.

Safavieh Rug from Target.


Stick Leaf Caroline Rug from Target.

That's it for now. I have plenty more stuff that I've been looking at. It's a slow work in progress...
