Living Room Thoughts

ByHayley

Yep, the living room again!~  I told you that it wasn’t finished yet, so don’t act all surprised and annoyed that I am showing it again.  Remember last time?  (post found HERE)  I have since added a few details and rearranged some furniture.  No, it is still not finished, but it will be.  Soon.   Maybe.

What is left to do?  

* Hardwood floor installation has been scheduled.  Woot Woot!  We have hardwood floors in the rest of the downstairs and it will look so much better once it is carried into the living room and dining room.  Plus, then I will get to buy an area rug and you will get to see my choices.  Aren’t you just thrilled?!

* We will be doing some sort of built-ins where the current “entertainment unit” is.  We always knew that the entertainment unit was temporary, but it holds all the toys, so it has been a great use of space.  However, floor to ceiling built-ins will look much nicer and offer tons of storage space.

* New window treatments for the bay window.  I am thinking dark bamboo shades instead of curtain panels.  Thoughts??

Here is the room today:
(please excuse some of the very strangely exposed photos…. I am still learning my new camera!)

Thanks to MANY of your suggestions, I moved the armchair here, instead of by the bay window:
And I put a cute wicker bench by the window instead.  Better, right?  (for now:)
Bought a side table for the other side of the couch:
The corner hutch has been a “work-in-progress” and honestly, I may just sell it.  Takes up unnecessary space and doesn’t make sense.  However, what would I put in this awkward area?

View of the entire room:
Honestly?  I don’t think I will ever be happy with this room until I repaint and start over.  The wall stencil was fun to do (check that out HERE) and it is a neat design, but it is so limiting and frustrating.
Anyone else have this dilemma with a room in their house?  I am ready to start over.  Sigh.
