Living Room reveal

We moved to our new apartment in Richmond back in May, started living there after the honeymoon and I have yet to show you any of it! You have seen bits and pieces like the chevron curtains, hutch and seasonal decorations.

The living room is definitely a mix of our things. We have our AWESOME factory cart coffee table that Denise gave us for our wedding. Tim has his Hokie wall and I have plenty of teal accents. And we just bought a new sofa!

Our previous living room layout wasn't working very efficiently. We had a big empty space on one wall and the desk chair was always in the way. Not to mention there was not much space for our guests to sit. I decided to whip up this little floor plan in Floorplanner (we use this at work but I like it so much I made my own account). I was inspired by Young House Loves book project #12 to Rearrange our living room...and the best part is that its FREE! Our new layout works much better and we are really enjoying the new sofa. By moving the desk over to the far wall with the cube, it created a distinct work space and lounge space.

I apologize for such dark pictures. I wish there was overhead lighting. The one window we do have is half covered. What do you think of our progress so far?? Yikes! I know these pictures hang over the text space but you wouldn't be able to see them otherwise.

P.S. If you like those curtains, check out the tutorial for them {here}

If there is anything you would like to know about, don't hesitate to ask!

So what's next??

• rug with a pop of color
• new taller bookcases
• possible end table to the right of the loveseat
• what would you suggest??
• did anyone spot the Young House Love book on the table?? ;)

Happy Friday!
