Update on our living room
I am excited to show you an update on our living room! Let's first take a journey down memory lane. This is what my living room used to look like and quite honestly, I loved having a huge desk in my living room. It was a way to use the space and the desk hid the mess of all my papers. (all the details here)
But when my mom mentioned she needed to get rid of my great grandma's piano, I decided it was time to say goodbye to the desk and turn my living room back into ... well.... a living room.
As I have been planning this room I really wanted to keep everything light, bright and neutral. But I do love color so I am bringing in color with my rug and accessories. When I saw this rug at Rugs USA I showed my husband thinking he would say no... but instead he agreed and I didn't ask twice! I love the bright colors and as I finish decorating I will pull the pink, blue and yellow out of this rug and use them as accents around the room.
I know many of you may think I am crazy for getting a white couch, and you may be right. But I LOVE how they look, and they photograph so well. I mean, look how awesome it looks... my poop brown couch has never looked this good! So how do I have a white couch with kids you ask? They are not allowed to sit on the couch...
This is my room - I keep my milk glass collection in here. I have my favorite furniture in this room. See this chest? It was my husband's grandpa's and I just love that this piece has a story behind it.

Looks AMAZING Brooke! Did you do the paneling yourself? I have been wanting to do that in my house but I am too afraid it won't turn out like I have it pictured in my head.
