Living Room Tour
Our living room is shared with the office and divided with our minty blue open shelving unit. Using mostly materials from Habitat Restore, we were able to build it for only $35!
I love how it provides extra storage and divides the room, but still feels open!
The living room seating area is grounded by a painted offset stripe rug. This was probably our quickest project - only taking a few hours!
and on top - our most time consuming project (by far my favorite too!) the herringbone driftwood table. David milled strips of wood from beach driftwood using a chop and table saw and constructed a metal base. I get tired just thinking about how much time that took! BUT so worth it, now well always have a memento from our time here.
We also refinished a caning chair, using chartreuse chalk paint and white upholstery - and added a galley wall.
We painted a set of nesting tables white and added a key stenciled top. The lampshade was also stenciled with a greek key. Stenciling is one of the cheapest ways to add pattern to virtually anything!
Other projects in the room, DIY Zimba inspired draperies, long turquoise ottoman, tv stand with pivoting door to hide electronics, and custom window cornice.
Updated home tour coming soon! (hopefully next week :)
I hope that you all have a great weekend! Were going to soak up the California sun while we can - so hopefully well be planted on the beach.
Make sure to follow our moving progress through Instagram - Ill be posting a few pics of our road trip to Ohio!
Coming up next week, finished headboard pics, fall tour hosted by Lindsay of the White Buffalo Styling Co. and Kristen F. Davis Designs (Im on the 2nd!), and a few guest posts from some of my favorite bloggers!
ps. I have a few large arabesque stencils left, Ive closed my Etsy shop for the move ... but would love to sell them before we move, check out through the right sidebar here or send me an email at sarahmdorseydesigns{@}gmail{.}com for more info!
Stay tuned! :)
