Finally, the rest of the living room in all my sucky photography glory.
I didn’t really take before pictures, but I have a few pictures that accidentally show how it used to be…
This was a fashion friday picture…but at least you can see the table was black here….
But, we painted it white and it totally made the whole room brighter:
{we also changed the lampshade to a black one from Target}
{the chairs are on their way out, soooo tired of brown. But they’re fine for now.}
And then the couch area…
Before it looked like this:
{ladder side tables, zebra rug, two squares above the couch, plain lampshades}
Then I found this mirror at Salvation Army for $5:
So we painted that, and made a few other changes…
{obsessed with silver trays, all from different thrift stores!}
So, we brought the ladder side tables into my bedroom and brought out our nightstands to use as side tables instead. Love.
Then we (my sister) hot glued black ribbon around the lampshades, sold the zebra rug (so tired of brown), and hung (hanged?) the mirror.
The couch is also going to go, it’s seriously the most comfy couch ever, but it’s ugly and yup…I’m over the brown.
My plan is to replace the chairs, with what I’m not sure….then bring in this couch:
Get a few black n white throw pillows….
Add in this rug:
And of course if I do all that….I’ll have to paint the mirror black…and get rid of some of that blue. And maybe even the pink.
So ya, basically, I’ll be starting over.
But that’s okay, cause that just means another home tour, right?
Tomorrow, I’ll take you to my bedroom.
Ooooo la la…

I’m redoing my living room too. little by little. I used to have sunflower/country type crap in it. And now I’m going more simple. No more knick knack. And not a sunflower in sight!!! lol. I just got some vinyl wall quotes I can’t wait to put up. Ok enough about me, I love that couch!
Love the big mirror!
Hey, I just found your blog today, and I want to say you are an amazing decorator! I love your living room!
I love the painted mirror! 🙂
I think a tan couch with the pops of blue color would look really pretty! Love the mirror and picture frams and table!
You should be an interior designer! LOVE the pics!
I love all the little accents of color…
And I like the chairs… send them my way 🙂
Love the bursts of pink. Wish the hubs would let me get away with that. HA!
Again as always I love that you are thrify!
with the chairs, what if you just got something to put over the fabric (word is lost on my tired brain tonight) and paint the wood part? then they wouldn’t have to be brown but you wouldn’t have to get whole new ones.
Everything looks great!! I love how the turquoise and pink looks together and all of your decorating makes me feel oh so happy. 🙂
