My Living Room

So I'm finally posting pics of my living room and dining room. They are the two rooms in my house that I am completely pleased with. I still have a little accessorizing to do, but overall it's finished. It's a neutral palette with modern and traditional elements, so the space totally reflects my style...

Sorry for the small photo! I confessed here that I am not much of a DIY'er- if only there were more time!! So I save money to buy the major pieces and heavily utilize Target, TJMaxx and HomeGoods for most of the accessories. 

The room was actually designed around this rug. I liked the warm colors and geometrical shapes, which represent a modern element of the space. 

The rug, the chairs, and the sofa came from Bassett. Note that just because I buy the big pieces at nice stores doesn't mean I buy them at full price! All of my purchases from Bassett were 30% off. The leather ottoman was a gift from my mom and the side tables are from Target.

This lamp is one of my favorite accessories. I love the color and it goes well with the rug. It was a floor sample at Bassett, so I got it for 30% off. 

I purchased the tray and the vase from the sale section at Pottery Barn. And I'm obsessed with InStyle magazines...

The leaning bookcases are from Target. I bought four of them at $50 each and made sure I got free shipping! I assembled them and put them side-by-side. I love how they turned out! The floor lamp is from Bassett. Yep, I got that one on sale at 30% off, too!

I needed some extra storage, so I purchased these baskets from TJMaxx and lined them up on the bottom shelves of the bookcases. They are perfect for storing random things.

I purchased the leather mirror from Kirkland's for $49.99. I don't think I could live without a Kirkland's! They have the best stuff. The rug is from Walmart. I would love to update the lighting one day...

The hurricanes and candles are from Target. I empty them in the spring for a fresh look and fill the bottom of them with coffee beans in the fall. The smell of coffee just reminds me of fall. 

So that's my living and dining room! It took a few years to complete (crazy), but I love how it turned out. They say your home should be a reflection of your personal style and welcome you with open arms each time you enter the room. I definitely feel welcome here.
