Yesterday, I spent about an hour rearranging my living room.  We are planning on getting new living room furniture sometime this year, but I want to get the layout planned before we start shopping. {I used only things I had around the house for this quick makeover.}
I proped an old door, I had in the garage, against the wall behind the buffet I moved next to the fireplace. I needed something to add height but I didn’t want it to be too busy next the mirrors on the mantel. I plan on painting the buffet either a soft white or very pale grey. 

I made a sofa table and planter a few days ago. You can read about the plant here and I plan on showing you how I made the table, next week.

I tried finding a before picture, but had some trouble! You’ll have to settle with a pic from Christmas, but it will give you an idea of what it looked like before I started. 😉


I’m thinking about a light colored sectional for the space. Possibly a slipcover? Any ideas?

Have a GREAT weekend!

It all looks so beautiful Angela! And I love that you shopped from your own home to create such a wonderfully fresh and light feel. Well done and thanks for sharing it at Inspiration Friday!

Thanks, Vanessa!! Thanks for hosting, too! 🙂
I love it, Angela! The family room is the one room in our “new” house that I keep playing with over & over & over. Want to get it right and I want a new chair but I want to be sure of the arrangement first. Yours is definitely a keeper! Beautiful. 🙂
Thank, Erin! I’ve struggled with the layout since we moved in over three years ago. Now that we are prepared to buy new furniture, I want to get it right! 😉
