It's time for another Roomspiration-Living rooms, hosted by Kelly at View Along the Way!
I realized late last night that I have never done a post on our living room. It is my favorite room in the house, but is really no where close to being complete.
We painted the living room a soft, warm Dorian Gray, by Sherwin Williams when we moved in in 2008.
Now

(this is the only image I have of the living room before...can you believe it?)

You can see in the distance, it was originally a soft baby blue with light brown curtains and a HUGE wall mirror framed with molding.
We had the carpet throughout the house removed and the hardwood floors refinished. We then took the large mirror down, painted the walls and trim and took a trip to IKEA!
My husband and I had furniture, but we needed a few things to fill the house. So we borrowed a trailer shortly after we moved in and headed to Dallas for the weekend (the closest Ikea).
Where we picked up a few things to finish the room.

We still have a lot to do in there...the only project (other than painting) I've done in the living room was the ikat stencil pillow tutorial that I did for Design Sponge....so we still have ALOT to do...
Hopefully, I'll get around to working on this room soon, but even with everything it needs...it is still overall my favorite room in the house.
For now I'll keep working on the master bedroom changes....see you over at View Along the Way!
