Our Living Room

It is gorgeous out today! I mean GORGEOUS! The kiddos and I went to the zoo. We do that a lot around here. It is super close, we have a zoo pass and aside from the animals there is a really awesome playground. So I am keeping today’s post short, because it is too nice to be jabbering away. We finally got our neutral couch and neutral walls and then it was like, now what? Well we have been working away at adding color and personality, which I shared with you here, here, here, here, here and here. I don’t know that I have ever really given you a good idea of what the shebang looks like together. So here it is.

You may have noticed we snuck a table in behind the couch. It is in a makeshift state, but when it is ready to go I will post on that. You can see how the living room is starting to come together. The T.V. wall still needs some work and I am on the hunt for a desk chair. Are you feeling the it? Are you picking up our personality? Does it say one awesome, young family who loves to have fun lives here?

Lucky you! It’s raining here after an incredibly dry and warm winter.

Loving the orange cubbies and the gallery-esque wall, great work.

When I read this on my phone I laughed and then read it to my husband. Sorry it took me a week to sit down on the computer and respond. Thank you so much for the kind compliment.

Megan, I LOVE your living room! The color in here is so soft and serene, and I especially like that red console. Great job!

http://www.balancinghome.com Megan Bray

Thank you! The wall color is Benjamin Moore Glass Slipper and it is a bit of an obsession of mine. Going bold on the console was a bit risky, but we are really happy with it.

Love your style! Casual with a touch of glam! You’ve inspired me to paint my owl green!

Thanks! That is the beauty of spray paint…you can always change it! I just stopped by your blog and became your newest follower. Looks like you have pulled off some amazing furniture makeovers. Cannot wait to dig in! Thanks for stopping by!

Where did you find your desk?

http://www.balancinghome.com Megan Bray

It is the small printer desk from Pottery Barn. Due to a shipping snafu when we ordered our couch we got a merchandise credit. The desk is what we purchased with that credit.

What a great, colorful family room!!! Love it!

Thank you!

Wow! I love this room. Do you think this color scheme and wall color would work with a leather sofa?

http://www.balancinghome.com Megan Bray

Thank you! I think the Glass Slipper walls would work with any sofa. Seriously. When accenting with orange just be careful if you have a black couch. It can start to look a little like Halloween.

I love the console table! I have a similar Ikea table and I’m having a really hard time finding bins that fit just right. What are the bins that you have?

http://www.balancinghome.com Megan Bray

Oh my were bins hard to find! I needed a 12x12x12 bin. Seems pretty standard. Couldn’t fine the anywhere or they were pricey. 17.99 a bin x 10 turns into $180!! I actually got these bins for like $3 (on sale) at ShopKo. Good luck!!
