New Living Room Curtains and a Can of Worms

You may or may not be familiar with the evolution of my living room. If you're new here, let me catch you up to speed photographically.

 

Phase 1: Just moved in. Sadness. Embarrassing.

 

Phase 2: About 6 years later, slowly evolving. Read all about it here.

 

Phase 3: Pretty recent, colorful updates. Read all about it here.

 

Current Phase: New living room drapes, and I swapped out the loveseat for these two chairs.

My own reaction? NO! No no noooo! This is not what I had envisioned. Bleck.

 

Let me try to redeem myself as a home decorating blogger, though, and tell you my living room ideas to counteract the major fail: Paint the walls and change up the two chairs; they're no good here.

 

I like the Louis ghost chair in the corner; my kids love to come and read here, they think the chair is awesome. (I agree with them!) Needs a reading light, though.

 

My family and I love the view out our large front window. Especially when the trees are still bare and you can spy the mountains. (One of the very few benefits of the drawn-out winters here.) Unfortunately, you can't see the view here, either from the brightness of the outdoors or from your being distracted by my beautiful feet. Seriously. I should be a foot model.

 

Anyway. I think I'll bring back the grey loveseat for the time being, until I can find something else more suitable out here. And then bat my eyelashes an awful lot at my beloved husband during a let's-repaint-the-living-room conversation. Don't let his sagging shoulders and deep sighs fool you. He loves those convos. Trust me.
