Before decorating, this living room was about as devoid of personality as you can get. Brown couch, brown carpet, brown coffee table...

Once I found the patterned curtains, though, decorating became so much easier.

I pulled the colors from the curtains and found matching pillows, table lamps, and jute rug.

And yes, I believe in fake flowers because ain't nobody got time to keep things alive that aren't my children!

My husband (bless him) even made a custom built-in that I designed, complete with under cabinet lighting. Side note: there are some great IKEA hacks for stuff like this but sadly our available space was too small to make that work.


So if you have a brown on brown on brown living room that needs help feeling pulled together, let’s chat!
