living room

Designing the living room was a big deal to me. I was so nervous because my main color was from my drapes that I sewed! I tend to be colorful, and for the sake of my husband I tried my best to keep the colors neutral with small pops of color in accent pillows, drapes, etc...


I purchased the couches years ago, the vintage train cart was from Home Goods, rug ikea, entertainment piece-ikea, lamp-z-gallerie, pillows-pottery barn/home goods/target.

I was so worried with the wall colors, but once we got the drapes up I really love how the room turned out!

Z Gallerie Cuddler Chair

This was a project I did a while back when moving into my new place in college! I wanted something that was really comfortable and different than just your typical love seat. Z Gallerie is one of my favorite furniture stores, but wasn't willing to pay $900 for a blah chair so my dad said " We can build that!" Sure enough he just sat in it and measured on his body how deep we wanted it, and built it from scratch!!

At the time I was really into zebra, and black but I did it so the cushion are reversible to all black and can change out the pillows when I want. This will be going into our den and will be perfect for kiddies I won't have a heart attack if something happens to it! This is such a comfortable chair, one of Jake's favorites! He used to sleep on it all the time!!

Took about 15-20 hours to build, but the memories are forever with my dad!
