Our living room has come pretty far since last month. We replaced the ridiculous couch and the old rug, and moved the armchair to the dining room for more space. We also exchanged the tiny side table we were using for the TV for a sofa table from Ikea and added ottomans.
Here’s are the new couch and ottomans, that also serve as mini tables for food or craft projects. The ottomans were $50 a piece from Target. The throw pillows came with the couch.




Here’s the left corner of the room. The chair is gone and has been replaced with a last-minute-decision cat tent. The cats are obviously more in favor of the windows.

We also replaced the floor lamp with a hanging light kit set-up from Ikea. Super inexpensive, but I love the look. And saving floor space is always a plus.

And here’s the front of the room with the new TV stand. We spent what seemed like hours searching for the perfect TV stand/entertainment center and we simply couldn’t find anything to match our taste or our living room. On our way out, I came across the Ikea Stockholm sofa table that fits perfectly. Our electronics have more space now.

The bottles on the bar were making these gorgeous shadows on the wall last night just as the sun was going down.

This is where we dine when we’re not eating on the couch.

This is the bathroom that we were going to re-do, but have since decided to save our money. I’ve decided that it could be worse.

And finally, our cozy li’l bedroom. I bought branch lamps from Target for each side of the bed, and I’ve completely fallen in love with them. We have the standard four poster bed from Ikea that’s pretty popular, but I hung a curtain on the back rod to mimic a headboard.

And Jason is installing new ceiling fans in the living room, bedroom, and a tiny one for the bathroom, as we speak. It’s pretty great around here lately.



It’s all so cute! I know when I finally get my own place I’ll be completely overwhelmed with decorating. I’ll probably enlist your help/advice :D
Tons of great ideas — I especially like your living room! We’ve been in our house for 3.5 years, and we’re finally getting to the point where we’ve eliminated all of the eyesores. It’s a nice feeling. :-)
Remember when you broke the Muzuza, oops. All your magic you worked with the binds made up for it 10 fold.
