A Plan in Progress: Our Living Room Refresh

Oct122018

Fall is in the air and it has me itching to make some changes to our living room. I’m starting with throwing out my stained white slipcovers and moving out one of the two matching sofas. I’m also moving in more pattern.

I’m also experimenting with different art above our fireplace. I haven’t decided if the black and white is staying yet. I think I’ll wait and see how I feel once the patterned sofa is in place.

And here’s a quick look at the sofa with a $49 (IKEA) beige slipcover. The other sofa won’t be here for another month. Stay tuned. . .

    Love it and I think that it’ll be warmer-looking without all that off-putting white (to me). Especially with children and men around, ha! Love your tweaking. Gives me ideas for our own living room space right now!

    I have the same IKEA sofa and beige slipcover – it hides waaaaay more sins than the white slip! I love the profile of the new sofa. I can’t wait to see the completed refresh!

    Your new sofa is lovely. But you’re pretty brave to order a sofa on-line. What do you do if it’s not comfortable? Can it be returned?

    Love your new ideas for your living room. So happy to see a patterned sofa, much more interesting than another neutral. Any plans for the brick fireplace?

    Can you give more info on the Ikea slipcover? I went to their site but couldn’t find it! Thank you
