Living Room Design, Part 2

After much debate, my hubby and I have finally agreed on a style for our living room. I really didn't think he would want to be involved in the designing of our new home, but apparently I was wrong. I compiled tons of pictures and also did some really bad photoshoping, and we finally agreed on this look.

I love the textures in this room and that will be hard to replicate, I know. And there are things that I am not in love with too, so I will be adding my own twist. But at least we have a jumping off point. 

Our first purchase was the couch.  We wanted a sectional, but a light color - like that tan - won't work with a dog, an accident-prone hubby and our future children.  I did find a pretty inexpensive version at Jennifer Convertible.



It's only $800 which makes me suspicious. It must not be comfortable.

So we search high and low and finally found a couch at Macy's.  Woohoo!  Now, just to piece the rest of it together.  I think my next obstacle will be rugs.

Living Room Design

Now that our moving date is getting closer, I am in scramble mode to start designing.  The living room/dining room (it's an open floor plan) is my biggest obstacle.  Originally I wanted to try to match the wall color to the kitchen back-splash and found this beautiful photo on WestElm.com.

Much to my surprise, my hubby (who has never been interested in interior design, even in our existing home), wasn't keen on the color.  While I love the gray/blue, I have to respect his opinion (or do I?!).  So I scoured my vast photo collection and Pinterest.com to find something we both can agree on.  While we haven't fully agreed, we are closer.
