Are you sick of my living room updates/plans yet? 🙂 If you follow along, my living room has come a long long way since we moved in about a year and a half ago. To refresh your memory, we moved in without any furniture. We moved to New York from Arizona with our clothes, toiletries and some family photos and documents. That’s pretty much it!Â
A year ago, it was 3 months after we moved in, my living room looked like this…
It had a few cute things going on… but the couch, the carpet without a rug, and the lack of appropriate sized wall decor drove me nuts.Â
I finally got a couch, a gallery wall, a rug and ditched the pink accents and we got
here…
YAY! The floors made such a huge difference in the room. But, it changed the feel of the room for me. It felt more updated, modern and fresh. That got my little wheels turning and I decided I wanted to switch things up a bit!Â

 Here’s another view…
 Carter (my 3 year old boy) and I painted the artwork above the sofa. I simply bought a giant frame from a yard sale and repainted the frame white and gold. Then I got a board cut to size and painted the colorful abstract design on it using different acrylic paints and painters tape. Easy and cute!
One more close up of
the bench because I love it so much!Â
Just for fun and because I love progression photos…
All I need to do now is get some pillow inserts for
the navy pillows I’m making and I need to get some stinkin’ new lamp shades (I can’t find them anywhere!!!)Â
Crazy change right?! Maybe it’s just me but it feels so different with the new flooring and more color!
Looks great! Your home is lovely.
You did wonders for that room. It looks fantastic!
The room is so pretty! Love it. can you please tell me what your paint color is? So So pretty.
What a beautiful space! I have loved it from the very beginning, and seeing the evolution is so cool. I really love your tv console and bench…and those newly done floors!! Phenonmenal. 🙂
It is simply gorgeous. I love your living room.
Oh wow! Love the re-re-reveal! The art over the couch really pulls it together.
Love the room! Where is the rug from? I want it!

The room looks wonderful. I really like the striped walls and the DIY wall art. I am always looking for ways to change my home too and will keep these ideas in mind.
Thanks

Beautifully done. I love to see something come from a wee bit of styling to absolutely stunning decor. It feels so homey. Have you thought about making the lampshades yourself or to revamp an older shade or two? Thank you Mallory for showing us your gorgeous home.
SO lovely! Wonderful job. Saw you on Rae Gun Ramblings and came to say hello : )
I loooove the coral tv console!!! So freaking fab! And the wood floors are such a room changer. Gorgeous room!
Ack! I don’t know what I love more! The bench? The coral console? That painting?! I love it all!!

Hi there! I’m going to start hosting a weekly blog hop on Sundays on my blog, WTFab. I’m looking for 4 co-hosts each week, starting October 14th and was wondering if you’d be interested! It’ll be a fun way to gain more followers and make new blog friends. If you want to be a co-host, you can email me at: whatthefab@gmail.com
Holy cow, this room is GORGEOUS!!!! I love it all — from the striped accent wall to that amazing coral tv console to the color combinations and art — swooning!! Where did you find that little aqua mirror?? It is so cute! Will you please come decorate my living room next?? 🙂
Nice job. I love the wood floors ahd those striped walls! Visiting from Tattertots and Jello.
Love the colors and the artwork you and your son did – so precious!
I love the artwork best, so light and fun! Stephanie
Beautiful room! Love the pops of color everywhere 🙂 Nice that you tied in all of the colors in the artwork you made, genius!
Thank you for the reminder that a room can change again and again until you like it or until you change it again. I just moved into my house and i feel like whatever I do is going to be permanent.
Smiles,
The Joyful Thrifter.

p.s I was wondering if you could email the color you used on your walls. That is the grey I want to use for my spare bedroom that is a dusty rose color at the moment. rkrobinson9@yahoo.com
Great job! That TV console really pops and makes the room stand out. I love color 🙂
Gorgeous! This shows you it takes time for things to come together. I often forget it takes time. BLAH! I just want our house finished!!
