Living Room updates.

Our Living Room is the #1 thing I wish I could change about our home, because it's tiny.  I mean, tiny.

I love to entertain, host friends/small group, and envision my entire family hanging out there... and while some of that does happen regardless, it makes for some tight space.  Nothing like bonding with the person next to you practically sitting in your lap.

Anyway, here it is in all it's small glory!

This chair was a Christmas gift to myself... from my hubby... you know how that goes :)

And yes, the rug needs flattened out, I know.  If you have any suggestions on how to make that happen (I've tried heavy books), I'm all ears. 

Won this in a blog giveaway... love love love! 

This wall was updated with new frames and our family picture on a canvas.  And of course, now looking at a picture I can see a few things crooked.  Oh well. 

(see the old version of this wall here) 

 I was looking for a new smaller side table and Craigslist came through for me once again... it was pretty dinged up but with some elbow grease and a can of spray paint she's as good as new.  

 This rug was found all crumpled up in the corner of Target... I had no idea what it looked like OR how big it was and knew it would need work to get the wrinkles out, but I couldn't pass up the $35 price tag, especially when the original price was closer to $200.

I do love how much natural light floods this room.  Even on overcast days, I don't need the lamps on... for that, I am thankful!  Bright rooms keep me happy.

It's definitely nothing fancy, but I really wanted this to be a space where people can come in, kick their shoes off, and just stay a while.  Hopefully that continues to happen.  :)
