Design Work - Living Room

I've been working with a friend/coworker/client on the design of her living room. She wanted a fresh start to her dark and dated room. It is so fun finding pieces for her space and seeing it all come together. 

It's not finished yet, but we've made lots of progress over the last 2-3 weeks. We're waiting on the linen curtains to arrive, but it could be another 6 weeks. Gosh, I sure hope they come sooner. I'm dying to get them into the room to see how they look!

We also need to choose a slip cover for one of the chairs, add a tray on the coffee table for housing table top necessities (they have an almost-one year old), and order the pillows!

Of course I want to wait until everything is in place before I reveal the entire room, but I just couldn't wait to share some of it with you.

We've been on multiple shopping trips and storage was always on the front of our minds. As many of you know (and I'm quickly learning), having a baby = lots of stuff. The tricky part is disguising it all but still keeping it handy! 

We also wanted to inject some COLOR into the space. I drew inspiration from these three pieces of art from {Jennifer Lommers etsy shop}...

We ordered them as prints to incorporate them into a gallery wall. 

With coupons in tow we hit up Micheal's one Saturday afternoon and lucked out by scoring all the frames 40% off. Gotta love that. 

We were on a tight budget so we re-purposed furniture where we could, rearranged furniture and rug placement, purchased a couple lighter and brighter furniture pieces, and added fun accessories to give the room pops of color as needed. It's all looking so great!

Here is one final peek...

I promise to share pics and my full design board as soon as the rest is complete! It might be a while if those darn curtains don't get here soon! 

Have a great weekend!
