Home Sweet Home Living Room Edition

I've decided that it's best to split this post into rooms. I'm starting with the living room, so I'll show you my house as it was when we moved in, as it is now, and then show y'all some of my inspirational pictures via Pinterest.

Here are the before pictures:

 There was paneling, and while I loved the color and how neutral it was...I decided to get out of my comfort zone after the tornado.

 We also got, over the last 3 years, a new recliner, a new tv and stand, a new coffee table and a shelf for dvds.

/my sweet Cooty boy, why did you run away honeykins? Mommy misses you :( 

This is the view from the front door. Although we never thought about it, this open living room is perfect for the kiddo to play.

 Here is a closer picture of the TV area, I just got that table and I am in love.

 The fireplace we never use. I love it and hope we use it this year but in Texas you really don't need a fireplace for more than a month or two.

Here is a view from the living area toward the front door.

Here it is again showing the rest of the view from the living room.

So there it is! My living room area. Now here are a few things I'd still love to do in this room.

Step 1: Cover that couch. I love the couch, it was a hand-me-down from my mother in law and it's nice and broken in. All you have to do is sit down and get comfy and you practically pass out.

Step 2: This is how I want my coffee table to look after we cut the legs down to shorten it. The fabulous table in the picture is from Keely.

Step 3: Spruce up the fireplace. I love this fireplace set. LOVE. IT.

Other than these little things I'd love to hang more pictures. I'd love to see your living room! Link up and join the fun!
