Living Room Update

While we were getting the kitchen re done we thought we would give the living room a bit of a refresh as well. The first time we did our living room was a couple months after moving in over 8 years ago.

I loved our original carpet and that gray couch was so very comfortable it was hard to say goodbye.. but we were ready for some new pieces.

The new space

We replaced the gas fireplace with led candles. While we loved the idea of the fireplace we never really used it, especially since our tv is right above it. We considered installing a mantel and keep the fireplace but because our fireplace is raised and M wanted a big tv the tv would have to touch the ceiling in order to fit a mantel. 

The rug was a Home Goods find. We got the sectional from Wayfair and the curtains  from Amazon. We tried out a multitude of curtains before going with the dark blue ones. 

We switched out dining table from a rectangle to a circle. You can see the old dining table here. We are a family 4 - 6 people depending on if my in laws are living with us. So how to we figure out how big a table we need? 

OBVIOUSLY! 

We ordered the table - mango wood - from Zin Home. It wasn't a brand we had ever heard of but the first table we order was cancelled as it went out of stock. And all the other tables we liked were backordered till August. This one was set to arrive early April.. though it also got delayed and ended up being delivered mid of May. 

The chairs we ordered separately from Wayfair. The chair legs were originally a light brown so we spray painted them gold.

There are still a few little DIY's we want to do. Like paint the black planter in the corner near the fireplace. I know exactly what I want to do with it.. and thought I would do it over the summer but so far the summer has been busy. We also might want to refresh the blue skinny table behind the sofa. Which we had originally DIY'ed but I think it maybe needs a fresh coat of paint, maybe a new color? 

Till then we are currently enjoying the new space.
