if you've spent any length of time around here, you know that i have a tendency to change around my living spaces pretty often. call it boredom or creativity, it's going to happen. and it usually happens when i least expect it. like yesterday morning, while i was vacuuming. i looked around the living room and just decided that i really didn't like the way that it looked. it felt very closed and small and i literally couldn't stand for it to be that way another minute. so, with just a little bit of time before i had to drive to campus for class, i quickly moved all of the furniture and fell in love. i even sat on the couch for a minute and just took all of it's glorious newness in. i think my favorite part is that little corner with the red chair and lamp.
oh, and milo modeled for me in the second photo. thanks, buddy.
You have such a gorgeous living room! Wow - I love the style and the colors. And it does feel very feng shui-ish (that's a word now haha).
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get that little round table by the red chair? I've been looking for one just like it!
ReplyDeleteHobby Lobby!

ReplyDeleteI have an idea!
ReplyDeleteYou take a little trip down to Florida and help me decorate my new apartment!

I love it! Why wasn't I blessed with a decorating gene? I have a picture in my head that looks very similar to the feel of your living room but I have the toughest time executing it. :(
ReplyDeletei love all the different patterns... and the fact that it works! you were definitely blessed with the decorating gene!
ReplyDeleteCozy! Totally off topic, but thanks to your blog and Kate's, I now catch myself seeing an adorable top at Target, for example, and saying LURVE! outloud :/

ReplyDeleteLove it! Where is the round table from? I would love one! :)
ReplyDeletethe grey coffee table is from Ikea and the black one is from Hobby Lobby
DeleteYour apartment is seriously so cute!! Need a 3rd roommate?? ;)
ReplyDeleteI want to curl up on that red chair! Nice work, Lauren. I would constantly rearrange my room growing up. My parents would laugh, because it would change every three months. One time, I dismantled the bed and put the mattress on the floor. What a weirdo...
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how you feel. I want to rearrange my furniture all the time. Occasionally I'll go over to a friend's house and try to rearrange their furniture too ;)

ReplyDeletewhere'd you get your sofa?
