<\/div>\n
Last week I showed you all my beloved God Bless Our Pad pillow<\/a> that I had made from a needlepoint that I found on Craigslist. \u00a0I had mentioned that we have some exciting things in the works for our living room…Here is what it looked like a few years ago. \u00a0Clearly I was in to cottage florals.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0That sofa was the last piece of furniture from Mike’s bachelorhood.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0All of the upholstery was from our old townhouse, I had the chair and window treatments made before we even got married. \u00a0The wall color in the living room was chosen by the original owners of our house. I chose the red in the dining room- Drama Red by Behr. \u00a0I still love that color.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Here are the plans for our new living room…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

While I hesitate to show you all the picture of what it looks like right now, after so many of you mentioned how you loved to follow the design process of Lou’s room<\/a>, I decided to unveil this train-wreck of a room.\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So many things in this room will be 86’ed.. The skirted table, the sofa, the ugly throw pillows (not the GBOP pillow, of course) will all be going. \u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The honeycomb mirror over the piano will be moving upstairs in our hallway, to be replaced by my Louis Vuitton dumpster find<\/a>\u00a0from our trip to\u00a0Charleston last summer. \u00a0I have finally unwrapped her and now need to figure out how the hell to hang her. \u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Here are the\u00a0HIDEOUS chairs<\/a>\u00a0that I bought off of Craig’s List. \u00a0They will be reupholstered in this delicious<\/i> turquoise linen.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As you can see, the living room and dining room are connected (no wall.)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So I tried to unify the space with some custom curtains that I had hand-painted by Corinne Marlow, who also painted the stripes in Lou’s room. \u00a0I love the color. \u00a0I searched for months for the perfect yellow and I found it.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0 I told Corinne what I wanted and she handmade the stencil herself.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The only regret that I have is that they are linen and wrinkle quite a bit.\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Right now we have 12 dining room chairs (two different sets) all of which are being sold and replaced with something very exciting.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Stay tuned!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
