SHOW US WHERE YOU LIVE - LIVING ROOMS



NEXT WEEK : GUEST BEDROOMS

So it's the second week of "show us where you live" Friday! This week is living rooms! If you have a family room also - feel free to throw that in as well. I thought we could just combine since not everyone has both. Or feel free to do either/ or - whichever you one you have cleaned up and ready to show off!!!!
Last week was SO much fun - we had over 300 kitchens and they were all just wonderful - even some from other countries! I can't wait to see today's posts! I REALLY need ideas when it comes to these rooms.
This is my living room as you walk in from the front door
Looking in from the dining room. I like having the two couches facing each other - it makes for a good conversation set up. And before we had Harper - Scott and I each would lay on one of the couches and watch TV. Our rug came from Ballard Designs and is a indoor/outdoor rug which is SO practical. I could take it outside and hose it off if I needed to clean it. I can spill pretty much anything and it wipes right up - which is nice with a baby and a dog. And it was very cheap compared to most big area rugs.
This is our TV cabinet. I just loved it when we found it. I'm still not 100% satisfied with the things I have on display in the glass shelves ....But I'm working on it.
This is a sofa table my parents got me a couple of years ago that I love. It's sitting behind our couch and I love the decorations I have on here. My favorite things are these vases with the "fake" pears.
And obviously we have a baby swing in our living room now. At other times you can find a bouncy seat, another smaller swing, bumbo seat, and boppy in our living room. I got the zebra pillows at a sample sale from one of my friends who works for a company that sells pillows to Wal-Mart. I got them for $5 each and I love them.

This is looking at the chair where Scott normally resides. We just got a leather ottoman this winter and he spends most of his time there. I spend all my time on the couch to the left - that's where Harper and I camp a lot of the day. The door to the left leads to the kitchen and the one on the right goes to our family room.
Another view from the back of the living room towards the dining room and front door
This is our family room - looking in from the kitchen. I got the green furniture when I was single and bought my first home. I got the whole set at Sam's club for less than $1000. The rug came from T J maxx and so did the gold pillows. I had a lady make me the curtains. The glass door goes out to our back yard and also contains Dawson's doggie door. The coffee table is a chest my grandparents gave me when I graduated from college. I store a lot of serving dishes inside there (in fact I almost forgot I had so much in there)
I made this little table when I was single - it's a big garden urn (one of those that looks heavy but isn't) and I put a glass top on it. I still love it after all these years. I topped it with a monkey lamp and a bunch of gold frames. These are pictures of our wedding and family.
Looking from the edge of the family room into the kitchen. At some point - I'd like to get new furniture for this room and put bar stools at the bar. That would be great for when Harper is older and could sit up there to eat or do homework or whatever.

Okay - YOUR TURN

Remember the rules:
1. Please link to your post, not your blog. If you don't know how - just click on the title of your post once it's done and copy the url up in your browser and then paste it back here.
2. If you add your name but don't have a living room tour - I'll delete your link.
3. Over on the right is code for the button if you want it!

HAPPY TOURING AND HAPPY WEEKEND!!!
I'll be back on Sunday with a lot of pictures of our weekend and baby dedication.

Happy Mother's Day to all of you mothers and ALSO to all of you who are single or praying for a child - may God bless you abundantly and SOON!
