This is our semi-put-together living room. We did our best without buying any new furniture. The beige recliner was a dumpster-dive find from college. It was in really good shape didn't smell or have any grody stains. Just Gorilla Glued one leg back on and Fabreezed the crap out of it. The green chairs were from Salvation Army. I think they were 40 bucks for both. Perfect condition. Vintage green rug = $10 at a garage sale. Old golden-yellow couch and wicker chair = inherited (free).
The paint in this part of the room is called "Cavern." Before it dried it looked way too lavender (sick) which I initially freaked out about but in the end I think it helped make the room classy and feminine without being overly frilly and girly. And yes we are still rockin' the plaid couch. I love our built-in bookshelves. Also prior to our makeover the slanted wall there was not painted (just white like the ceiling.... I think it looks a lot better painted like the wall). We were also surprised how the plant (inherited) helped make this corner more homey. The ottoman was a complete rehab of a dumpstered piece of crap by my BFF Lauren and I. Took off the skirt, repainted the legs, made a remote-pocket out of the old skirt and stitched on some cute fabric...FREE!
Ohh this couch.... I find it a little gaudy. But again FREE. White cheapo curtains from IKEA make the dark wood stick out like a champ. Snowflakes for Christmas party = adorable.
Front wall paint = "Cavern" Back wall paint = "Pier"
Apple water color paintings = Angela Wolf is amazing. Plus they help make me forget we have a obscenely large, awkwardly placed column in our living room.
Two sets of 10 assorted black frames for $12 at Target on Black Friday... yep. I finally framed the 20 cutest tidbits I have been saving the last few years with.
Cute, cheap switch plate covers from Home Depot. An Angela find.
