This weekend I finally got around to making a few small updates to the living room. These were just things that I wanted to accomplish to make the living room feel more finished. The first thing I did was to use a table cloth (found at target on clearance a few years ago) to temporarily make new covers for the pillows on the couch. I say temporarily because they are just tied on in back. I need to make this more permanent but I got distracted on the day I did it so that is as far as a I got. The second minor update was to add sheer curtains in the middle of our yellow curtains that I made. I have been wanting to do this for a while but just had been putting it off. I thought about making them but I found the curtains at Target for five dollars a panel. So I went with the store bought ones. I really am loving the fact that I can open our curtains and still have some privacy from the neighbors and the street. I also think it makes the windows look more full and complete.
I am finally getting to a place where I think the living room is close to "finished". At least close enough that I could move on to other rooms in the house. I only really have a few more things I would like to do:
1. Find a new rug (one solid piece instead of two rugs put together)
2. Get more pillows/pillow covers for the sofa
3. Finish putting art on the walls
I think in the grand scheme of living room decorating these three things are not much to handle. They are also things that will probably be always evolving.
Have you guys made any room updates lately? If so what room? Are you planning any major updates to rooms in your homes? Or have you finally gotten things just where you want them?
