It’s been a busy few weeks, without much time to share what I’ve been up to, so I’ll have lots of pictures and tutorials in the next few days! First up, our living room! I’m holding off on a full reveal since I finished just in time for The Home Depot Style Challenge and it’s currently decorated for Christmas (and needs some finishing touches).. so a few more weeks 🙂 But for now, here a are few shots that didn’t make it into the post.
The room still needs a few finishing touches.. We still need to paint (currently just primer, but it will be white), swap out the light, we LOVE the light we made .. but ultimately decided that it wasn’t right for the space, so we ordered this one and we’ll put our DIY light somewhere else .. we’re also upholstering a sofa, we currently have one from my grandparents, which is going in the basement eventually (reupholstered) .. and our other gray chair needs cushions (my amazing mom sewed two, two to go!) finally, we’ll be swapping our the bench for something a little more colorful 🙂 Sounds like a lot, but I’m happy to have a mostly finished space, so we have a place to sit!!
This room has come a long way!
Before:

I’ll do a full reveal when the space is non-Christmasy and finished 🙂 But, just wanted to share our progress!

I'm obsessed with your curtains! I saw your original tutorial…but can you provide the image that you gave to spoonflower for printing? How much did that cost? I'd like to save myself 18 hours of stenciling 8 curtain panels! haha
