Design Board - Jennifer's Living Room

Jennifer emailed me asking for some help with decorating her living room.  She defines her style as classic romantic.  She loves subway art, neutrals and chevron!  I chose a neutral color scheme based around her cream and black sofa.  Muted tones with touches of black, silver and gold accessories....

  I love the floor to ceiling look of these photo frame collages...

 I found some beautiful rooms on Decor Pad's website that I thought also might inspire Jennifer... I love the mixture of gold and silver, along with the wood sideboard. Also I love the fabric panels on either side of the sideboard. That would be a fun DIY project for Jennifer's living room. This living room is so pretty! I love the striped chairs and the room has such cute accessories. The room below I picked because of the collage wall of IKEA Ribba frames. These frames are so pretty with black and white photos in them. It's a great way to make an instant gallery wall! I also found some great prices on chevron rugs on Rugs.com. Jennifer could replace the rug on my design board with a bold chevron rug! I hope she has fun decorating her living room area! It's so fun when you have a blank slate to work with! Happy Decorating Jennifer!

SOFA SHOPPING

I haven't been posting a lot on my blog because I haven't been near my computer. I have been out doing stuff and I am only going to get busier. Cody comes home to Ohio in 12 days!! I took a few days this week to go look at Sofas. The selection in Wyoming is limited, so I figured I should look while I was here. I decided to go somewhere I never would think to look, Macy's. The best part is they will ship to my apartment in Wyoming! I am waiting for Cody to get here so he can help me make the decision. Of course he is an awesome husband and says to me, "Just get what you want. I trust you!" (AMAZING!) I did find a couch that I can get made in pink, but I won't do that to him! lol Here are a few of my favorite sofas from Macy's...

The Chloe
This sofa is covered in a micro fiber velvet. The sofa looks so grown up and I love it's curves. I think a Warhol Marilyn Monroe print would look great over it!I like both colors that it comes in, not sure which one I would get. Probably the gray. The only "bad" thing about this sofa is, I don't think Cody and I can really cuddle together on it. If I went with this sofa collection I would get the sofa for Cody and the love seat for me. lol I am in love with the Chloe collection!! The chair is very cute also...
I love the chrome lamps they had at Macy's. I really want a set of big chrome lamps...
Then there is the Milo sectional that I love but it's not as comfy as the Chloe. You would think it is. I really want a couch that we can lay together on and put our legs up on! That is why the sectional is good for us...
The sectional does come in a dark gray. The back cushions are really comfy but the seat is kinda firm. This is when I need Cody's feedback on the couch before I spend the money!!! Last but not least, there is the Elliot...This sofa is super comfy and does come in gray also. (I really want a gray sofa!) I would get the ottoman for sure so Cody can put his feet up! I love the cute chair...
Decisions, Decisions!!! Which one do you like for me? I think the first two are the most modern looking. The Elliot may not be contemporary enough, but I think it may work once all my other stuff is with it. It all comes down to comfort! Cody and I love to watch movies and cuddle! If we can't do that, then there is not point.

Inspiration: CB2 Living Room EYECANDY

I am always looking for Living Room inspiration! I donated all my living room furniture to Goodwill back in April. As a decorator I get sick of reusing the same furniture in every new place I move to! I feel like every separate home, needs a different look. Is that weird? I will probably hit lots of thrift stores when I start to decorate my next place. I do not own one thing from CB2 and they are one of my favorite stores! Here are some Living Rooms that I found inspiring...

Inspiration: Park Avenue Apartment

I love this modern apartment that was featured on Fresh Home. I love the black and white wallpaper and all the white furniture. Of course if this was my apartment I would add more pops of bright colors.

Contemporary Spaces

I love big open rooms with lots of glass to let the sunshine in. Here are a few rooms that inspire me. Enjoy.
