Once we determined to embark on our kitchen renovation late final 12 months, we figured that we’d take the chance to exchange the hardwood flooring all through the principle flooring of our residence as nicely. They had been in fairly dire form and, admittedly, in want of some critical love. And since we had been already changing our flooring, we felt like we’d as nicely repaint… Since we had been repainting, it appeared like a pleasant likelihood to provide our beloved front room a little bit of an replace, too. I feel you possibly can see the place that is going, ha. That is what I affectionately consult with as “scope creep”. It’s actual and it occurs each time.

When you’ve been studying for some time, you could do not forget that we tackled our front room as a part of the One Room Problem quite a lot of years in the past (right here!) And that model continues to be an area that I am keen on to at the present time. However as our lives have developed, so too has our residing area. It has gone via a couple of minor itterations through the years since bringing our daughter into the world, however this current front room replace has been probably the most dramatic. And it’s been a very beautiful deal with.
We finally saved all of our primary furnishings items, with a couple of minor iterations, and actually simply up to date the ending touches. “New” artwork, new toss cushions, and a pair “new” equipment is basically all it took. I’ll by no means stop to be amazed by how a lot of a distinction these modifications make… And I really like that it supplies continued proof that beginning with a impartial base layer is an effective way to design your area. It supplies a lot alternative to tweak and edit as life ebbs and flows, with out having to start out from scratch.
We recovered our sofa with a extra household pleasant and forgiving material (this one! we adore it!!) And that was actually the largest expense. I shopped our residence for the gallery wall (therefore the “new” artwork), and the equipment too. The candelabra wall sconces had been present in my mother’s basement (she swears she purchased them at Ikea within the 80’s, however they’re SOLID brass and fairly substantial, so I’ve my suspicions). The smooth ottoman was an replace we made when our daughter grew to become cell. And the remainder stays the identical – items I nonetheless love as a lot immediately as once we acquired our arms on them virtually seven years in the past now. All this to say, I’ve totally loved making these small however significant modifications, and it’s one thing I extremely encourage. I simply love loving on our residence. I’m sharing each final supply beneath, in case you’re curious!
