As of 6:45 last night, I was firm in my decision to not participate in ORC for this round. We have so much going on right now, and honestly we have countless small projects that need to be finished without me starting something bigger!
Then, I checked my messages on Instagram, where I had posted a photo of the Spring ORC Master Bedroom. And the encouragement to join in had started. It only took Maurie saying "You'll regret it if you don't do it," and I was hooked. Living Room, we're coming for ya ;)
To be honest, we are already working on some projects in this room. Our living room has gone through a major transformation over the last couple of years (see here, here and here for prior photos) and I have become stalled trying to create the vision that's in my head for a lighter, brighter feeling in here.
To date, we have had 2-1/2 walls painted for over a month now (who does that?!), I have chosen pillow fabric for fall, and I have already been on the hunt for new, lighter lamp shades. So there's a head start ;)
I'll be back next week with a more cohesive design plan. Once I figure out exactly what that is, haha. Here's a little peek at a few items I'm considering --
In love with this beautiful rug!
I'm on the hunt for a pair of these -
We could really use a pretty bamboo tray for our coffee table
I have been coveting some monogrammed lamp shades forever!
Some bright, pretty pillows are a must!
And ginger jars galore!

Oh, I like where this room is going!!! I had to laugh because I went back and forth, do I do this? No, I'm too busy. Then Stacey read me a quote "walk to your fear". May we both be successful! I can't wait to see your reveal!

Oh yay!! I love to see your brilliant mind at work. I did see some of those garden seats at HomeGoods awhile back so you might check there.

I LOVE the garden stools! In fact, I used the exact pair for my ORC spring challenge this year on my patio. I am happy to share that the MOST cost effective source for those stunners is Amazon. I had no issue with an cracks or inferior quality. They were a fraction of the cost versus several other outlets. Just wanted to give a heads up and pass along my findings in the spirit of the great ORC! Also, every part of your living room plans are perfection.

Hey, I got 3 if those ceramic round barrel type garden tables. One is white, one blue and one white/blue. I'm willing to part with them really, REALLY cheap only for you! Was going to put them in the Highway 80 garage sale. Let me know if you are interested and I can bring them to you when we come in for a SMU game. Would love for someone I know to have them and help you out with the ORC.
