the living room so far

here are some updated photos of our living room
the color we painted with is a light aqua/blueish color
kind of hard to see in pictures
we love it
i made some pillows for the couch using some amy butler
fabric that has the yellow/green of the couch
as well as the color of our walls in it
and
last night we spray painted the mirror above the couch white


all i have left is
finding a rug
or making one like this 
and curtains
then we're done
and i'll focus my time on the baby's room
and getting ready for her arrival

That is so dang cute. I love everything about it. The wall color is awesome with the couch and the cushions just tie it all together. Obviously you knew that. :)

It looks fantastic! Love Amy Butler fabric - and your lamps, and everything else. I think it's awesome that you're not afraid to paint furniture, or reupholster stuff. And you always get a great turnout!
I'm sure you know this already, but Ikea has cool carpets at awesome prices! :)

Is that Sherwin Williams paint in tide water? We have a wall that looks almost identical to that color! Twins! But I love your color combo, I love the color of the couch in contrast with the blue. You did an awesome job, I love it!!!

I love it! So cute! When we move will you help me with my living room?? And maybe convince Brooks that we should sell our couch.

It looks so nice! You have such a gift for taking vintagey things and pairing them with more modern pieces.

So fun. I was just asking Chad yesterday when he got home what your living room looked like, cause i've been dying to see what it looks like. Good luck with the rug hunt!! I think it's the hardest part.
