So even though my bedroom is still a definite work-in-progress... I can't help but daydream about decorating the living room, too. As I've posted before, it's going to feature a DIY pallet sofa... which I've already scrounged up the pallets for. (Yay!) I'd looove to find some huge cushions like the ones in the room above. They'd look even lovelier on a pallet sofa than they do on the floor, dontchya think? Also, I'm really smitten with the idea of hanging curtains with a long branch. But maybe I'd spray paint the branch a fun color... or perhaps paint it gold?
I want to get some serious art work up on our walls. The living room has great high ceilings and big walls just asking for some art. It'd be adorable to paint some old frames and clip photos into them like on the wall pictured above. So easy to switch photos and art in and out!
I want our living room to be very eclectic, very colorful, and very creative. For once, I want to see if I can throw the idea of color scheme to the wind. Let's face it: I'm sticking to a pretty particular color scheme up in my attic (blues, greens, turquoise). So the idea of throwing together anything and everything and ended up with a lovely, eclectic space is appealing, challenging, and inspiring. I think I can do it. :)
I definitely plan on scavenging antique stores for funky vintage pictures to pair with more modern prints.
And I want our pallet couch to be absolutely burdened with a bunch of patterned, mix-and-matched pillows.
It'd be fun to do some big, bold art work on one of the larger walls. Maybe two? My roomie and I can each pick a poem or song or quote or something to put on our own canvas.
Ooooh, love the idea of wrapping art around the corner of a room. :)
And here's where I definitely want to go with art work. Mixed. Matched. Eclectic. Vintage. Love it.
My roomie Steph reads this blog, so I hope she leaves a comment of approval. ;) (Hint, hint, roomie!)
