Living Room

Our living room essentially shares the space with our Dining Room, Sitting Area, and Kitchen.

So, I wanted to keep the feel fluid throughout the room while still keeping separate areas.

So, without further ado.... let's get in on the tour.... shall we?

Our sitting space.

It's a smaller area.

But, it is still considered our "Living Room".

It's about 13' x 15'. The Living Room area that is... then we also have the Kitchen and Dining Room and another sitting area. I pack a large punch in our smaller living space!

Comfort is key.

A place to sit, relax and visit.

It helps that our TV is mounted. All the equipment is inside a dresser located on the other side of the wall in our Master Bedroom. 

I created framed wallpaper panels for interest and flanked the TV with these sconces that make the TV appear as part of the decor and not as something that sticks out like a sore thumb.

The wallpaper is a huge change from the teal color previously. I really do like this neutral palette. However, it has A LOT of glam and shine. Very Hollywood Regency in sheen and fun in the pattern department!

I utilize a lot of geometric patterns throughout this space for added interested. 

This helps balance out and play up the dark brown sofas and chair. 

I decided to embrace the brown as a base color, but keep things light and interesting with other items.

It also helps that I have a plethora of natural light {wink.... wink....}!

The difference in the upholstery and pillow fabric textures adds a tangible sense of variety. 

From velvet, to linen, from thick weave to soft and fuzzy components, when you are sitting in this area.... you can feel the comfort of the fabrics. 

I also utilize a variety of metals.

I mix it up!

I LOVE this old industrial cart table I found a long time ago. It is old, rusted in places and has been used and abused through the years..... but, it is such a unique piece that always gets a conversation started. This piece may be considered dark and cold..... but the warmth of the other items around it, makes it quite at home and cozy.

The layout also helps maintain a sense of unity and provides a great location for casual chit chat or long deep conversations. It really provides a corral, of sorts, when we entertain. We love it!

The textured shag rug is a bed of comfort for those hard wheels.

And then the warmth of this antique hand carved mirror on the surface of the cart, again adds interest and a balance. {I always need that "added balance"....}

This stone horse statue is a new find and a PERFECT compliment to this area!

And now.... a little peak into our "Dining Room".

I created a divider with a vintage campaign dresser I picked up at a garage sale for a FABULOUS steal price. It needed A LOT of TLC.... but, I think it turned out quite divine when all was said and done.

And, it is a FANTASTIC place for me to house all my DIY tools and drop cloths for my paint projects!

I also have the vintage Dorothy Draper chest in the background that aides in additional storage space.

A girl can never have too much storage space! 

This spot really showcases our style and personalities. The industrial component is what we are all about. The vibe is very Hollywood Regency/Art Deco with a twist. And my hubby and I ADORE "The Thin Man" movies.

Ohhhh William Powell and Myrna Loy as Nick and Nora Charles:

I hope you have enjoyed the tour of our Living Space Room!
