Living Room Reveal!

Woo hoo!  I've been focused on the living room since we moved a few weeks ago and wanted to get some pictures posted.  I really love the way it's shaping up so far and it's a room I've really enjoyed spending time in since the rug, window treatments and the wall hangings arrived last week. 

There's still much more to do, but just to give you a little taste, here's a few before and afters!

Before:

And AFTER:

                                  

The window treatments are bamboo roman shades flanked by grommeted canvas curtains from Ikea:  
                               

Here's a shot of our armchair complete with a whimsy canvas and green stitched pillow:

Our sunburst mirrors (I'm scared they're hung a bit too high?  Do I need to lower them?)

And those superfun patterned pillows that I absolutely adore on the couch:

Among the to-do's for this room are to find lighting for the end tables (done in Nov 2009), accessorize the mantel and the nested end tables, find a new end table for the side of the couch by the windows, and OH YEAH.... finish off the media area which is currently in a state of quasi-disaster and looks like this.

Notice the exposed subfloor?  Yeah.  Nice huh?  But, it used to look like this so we're making progress at least:

So there ya have it folks, about 50% (maybe a bit more) of the first room redo in the house is complete.  What do you think?
