Living Room Changes

 Changes are happening and it feels sooooo GOOD.

If you are anything like me, then you know how hard it is to decide on a style. This old house has gone through an absurd amount of changes in the last 5 years. 

It finally took me taking time off of Pinterest and Facebook and really concentrating on just who I am, and what my personality is to arrive at a look that I LOVE. 

Most of you know I have a white obsession. I am easily overwhelmed by too much of anything {light, sound, color, even too much decor} so white has been a calming presence. But too much white can lack personality and look a bit on the sterile side, so where do you really go from there??

Well for me personally, I had to look at my personality, who I am and what I love.  

 I am a natural girl. I'm rarely do makeup except for some black eyeliner on occasion....so it made sense to let my feelings on that reflect the house too. Natural with a touch of black for a chic "pop".

I found a coffee table that I fell in love with on Overstock 

It reminds me of Restoration Hardware {which I mostly can't afford with the exception of my Remy dining room chairs}

 

The clock in the Background above the couch {I know, not a good pic!!} is from HomeGoods.  {I've been WAY too HomeGoods Happy lately!! Shhhh}

The grain sack down stuffed pillows are from 530 Resale

The vintage ice cream stool inside the fireplace is a $3 yard sale score, and the giant crock under there was a gift from a friend. The rug was a $20 find and candle sticks by the sofa were $35 on a Facebook For Sale site.

 This much white begs for some color, and I have always loved ferns so I felt like it was the perfect compliment to the natural woodsy feel that was happening in the house. I found the ferns on the mantel at Target and the one in the dish on the coffee table I found at an Antique Store last February while I was in Tennessee.

Here's another "chic" piece. This table I bought from Urban Farmhouse

I think it breaks up the expanse of white on the walls on that side of the room perfectly. I like the way it pairs with the starburst mirror from Target. 

{tray on table is also from Urban Farmhouse}

 See the giant scale in the corner? I have plans for that once we redo the cabinets in the kitchen. Right now there's not a good place to put it though since it weighs like 200 pounds!!

 Here's a dusk photo. One of the candles I have made for the house. This one is "Tobacco Shop" and smells like woods and leather and heaven. 

I'm slowly {kids and health and a bazillion other reasons are dictating the time I have to work on things} but surely getting finished in the dining room and the kitchen. Here are a couple of sneaks peaks going on in those rooms.....
