living ~ room progress report, part 3

click here for part one and here for part two. 

so it's been a while since i've posted an update on our living room.
i still have zero artwork on the walls.
sad, i know.
i've stalled out in that department.

but, since it's changed a bit since my last post {7 months ago} i thought i'd show an updated version.

the two main changes were adding my awesome craig's list chairs and throwing white sheets up for curtain panels.

i've also changed the shelves up, added a couple of pillows, moved a dresser to behind the couch to act as a landing spot when you come in the door, added a storage bench to coral the boys' eleventybillion shoes, added a side table, painted big bertha gray {sherwin william's rushing river}, and added a small piece of art & coat rack by the back door.

the dresser that's acting as a sofa table/landing spot was the changing table for finley & sawyer's nurseries.
it was made by a sweet friend of ours to match pottery barn specs.

those baskets on the bottom will be perfect for winter boots this year.

i want to do a picture/gallery wall on that back wall and i just need to get. it. done.
if we owned this house, i would probably paint the brick fireplace and mantel.

the curtains are just white, flat sheets hung on a rod.
i'd like to add some other fabric . . . maybe a burlap ruffle...or something with a pattern...not sure.

i whipped up these pillows right before ruby was born with some fabric i found in my stash.
i'd like to add some more to break up the leather couch and add some texture/softness.
i also think a nice throw would help add some texture and interest...i've been on the lookout for one.
something not too big...that i can throw over the arm of the chair.

the doorway to the left is the hallway to the kitchen and front of the house.
to the right is the playroom.
big bertha holds our jackets and outerwear.
ignore that mirror up there....it's just up there b/c i can't decide what to do with it.

i didn't realize how bare this room looks until i see pictures of it.
it definitely needs some more layers and somethinganything on the walls.
but it really is cozy in real life. ;)

so that's our living room right now...hopefully this post will be the motivation i need to get started on that dadgum frame/gallery/photo/whatever wall.
