Living Room Updates

Wow it's been so long since I've posted something on here... I'm a bad bad BAD blogger! My life has been mostly about my two precious gems.. Jared and Naomi!

We've had a busy spring and summer full of activities; with friends and family visiting off and on...

I have been able to get a few things done around the house though. My living room is mostly done now. First let me remind you of the very embarrassing before.

Here is what it looks like now... We got rid of the horrible dark walls and gave it a nice lite grey color, added some great curtains for a more modern feel. And the yellow accents also help with bringing lightness into the room. Lightness is something I craved for in this room especially after purchasing this big brown monster of a sectional. The rug isn't really what I want in there, but I think I'll wait a few years til the kids don't feel the need to spill juice and other fun things on it (lets just say this rug was witness to Naomi's potty training in a very personal way).

The LOVE print is what inspired the yellow in the room. I purchased it from Made By Girl by Jen Ramos. She's an amazing artist and has a new shop called Cocoa and Hearts. I MUST own one of her pieces someday!

I adore the way the West Elm curtains sweep the floor. My windows are very tall and high maintenance, they love being dressed in curtains that accentuate the fact :).

I'm really loving the way the living room is turning out. What do you think? My kids seem to enjoy it just fine :)

PS I really missed you guys and can't wait to get back to regularly posting on here. Thanks for your patience!
