Well, it's been slow going 'round these here parts. Not for any real reason, just enjoying living in the house and busy with regular life commitments.
I am yet to purchase anything new for our Family Room, but have done a little shopping around the house to put the area (slightly!) together.
So, I give you the Family Room...
I am considering purchasing these prints from Etsy, and framing them in Ikea Ribba frames (as per pic below) to hang on the wall above the sofa.
The lamp is also on loan from the Lounge Room - it isn't even plugged in!! - until I decide on the artwork. I'm then considering a lamp like this.
Another purchase still to make is a rug for this area. I like these Egeby rugs from Ikea, but would have to decide on colour, obviously!
And, maybe a coffee table, but convincing Husband of this will be mission in itself!

So, we're getting there, slowly but surely!
I hope you're having a great week.
Hiya! I know how you feel. Your living room is looking great and I'm sure it'll be even greater when you're all done :)

Thanks, Cas! Once it's all done, I'll probably be ready to move and do it all again!!!! Mx
DeleteLooking good M, but I think you def need a rug or coffee table. Ask hubby where he is going to put his beer down? Maybe that might help persuade him lol.

I might just have to play that chip, Kirst. Thanks for the tip!! Mx
DeleteIt is so exciting M, have fun decorating and buying your accessories. I think the prints will add a nice punch of colour. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nellie. I think I'm going to have to take the leap and order them! Mx
DeleteOOoooh I love that floor, its almost a crime to cover it with a rug!
ReplyDeleteI know, DB, I love it too. The idea is just to define the space a little - we'll see... Mx
DeleteLooking so great M! I too love your floors, so much so that I'm considering changing mine - I'm so torn! Those prints are very cute, you've got my mind wondering again, a few trips to craft stores and hardware shops will be in order over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Em! Just remember, noone's allowed to shop at Carpet Call anymore, so you may not be able to source this flooring!!!!! If you get all arty, be sure to share some pics! It's about time for an update on your house, no? Mx
DeleteLol I forgot about your flooring debacle. I spoke to Andrew last night anyway and we both agreed that we have liked our first choice the whole time so we will stick with it. Yes it is time for an update but unfortunately winter days means darkness at 5.30pm which is the earliest I can get to the house after work! So no photos means no update, will head out tomorrow though so watch our blog haha! Have a good weekend, looks like beautiful weather compared to last weekend!
DeleteAs a general rule, we find that our first decision is usually the best decision, and your vinyl looks great so you should certainly stick with it. I'll be checking in hourly for an update on your house! We'll have to take a drive soon to check out that facade. Enjoy your weekend, Mx
DeleteIt's all coming together nicely M!
ReplyDeleteDon't rush yourself it will all happen in time and look amazing!
I like those prints, very bright and cheery!

Thanks, Jode. For the first time in my life, I don't feel like I'm in a hurry. I must really love this house!! Mx
DeleteLove the prints, adore the lamp (I have that planned for my next living room too), I would get the darker rug. And there must be someway to convince DH to buy that fantastic coffee table??? (wink)
ReplyDeleteThanks, JA. Given the sofa colour, I think the dark rug is the best option, too. Less Hamptonsy, but the best choice. I guess we could always suggest to Husband that he won't see the coffee table very often anyway????? Mx
DeleteLooking great M and I love the blue and orange accents in the prints. The bright orange and white print would look fantastic in a floor rug I think...
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your selections all come together!
Nat xx
Thanks, Nat. Yep, I would love most of those prints in a rug!!!! I hope everything is going well with little Mr Lucas. Mx
DeleteHey M, yes the little man is doing well. He's so much like my first son Oliver that I swear I've had twins, just 2 years apart! From looks to the funny little noises he makes when he feeds - it's uncanny! It's also nice not to feel so overwhelmed this time. Although juggling the need for attention between a newborn and a 2 year old is challenging at times to say the least!
DeleteLove your choices.
ReplyDeleteWhats the colour of the walls?
Pen x
Hi Pen! Thank you!! The wall colour is Dulux White Duck. After a lot of deliberation, it has worked out perfectly and I love it. Mx
DeleteLoving your room, looks very comfy! We have bought the drum coffee table for a garage conversion to living room we'll be doing in 6 months, I love it! x
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kel. I've been working hard on Husband today, but he isn't budging... YET! Mx
