I have shared bits and pieces of our home..
and recently had some requests to share more of our space!
I’m happy to share our little rental that we currently call home. :)
Here’s some shots of our family room over this Christmas Season!
I’m mentioning some of my favorite pieces and the DIY projects in the space below.
Our rug is from RUGSUSA.COM
I fell in LOVE with the pattern. This is the Moroccan Trellis Rug in Light Green.
It also came in yellow and blue and many more colors!
It does shed a bit.. but I heard from others that over time that goes away.
A pretty rug can make a world of different in the space.. and it is super soft!
Our couch and chair are from La-Z-Boy.
I like how the sofa goes all the way to the floor…no toys getting stuck.
The pieces are very soft and comfy and yet still sturdy feeling.
We first picked out the sofa..and then my husband convinced me to sit in this chair…and it was…heaven. I should add that I was super pregnant..and melted into the chair. I didn’t want to get up haha. So comfortable. You are able to choose from a huge selection of fabrics. We decided to match the two pieces. I LIVE in the chair. It is great for nursing. It rocks..and then you have the option of putting your feet up and leaning it back. Everyone that comes to our house and sits there.. loves it.
We painted the space one grey wall and the rest a blue/green. (I’ll track down the colors!)
The Piano was free and came painted! love it.
FYI: You can grab up free Pianos all the time on Craigslist..
people list them all the time but you have to move them yourself!
We found our Coffee table in the trash..
my husband sanded down the top and stained it dark.
Then I spray painted the legs white. The curtains are the ANITA Curtains from IKEA.
Our Chevron Pillows are from ElemnOPillows
At Christmas time I string up the tissue paper garland I made for my Cookie Exchange Party a couple years ago. I love it..sometimes it stays up long after Christmas. :)
The large prints over the fireplace I made using Staple’s Engineer Prints and Foam Insulation Boards from Lowe’s. (for 4 prints that size I spent $6 or so at Staples!
Search “engineer prints” on Pinterest for tutorials!

January 17, 2013 at 2:25 amWe’re going to probably be moving in the near future, and this was just the inspiration I needed! I am planning on getting a rug for our new place. Thanks for posting the website! I am also going to try some of the engineer prints for our youth room at church. It’s a work in progress!

February 17, 2013 at 11:18 amHey Natalie! We are going to buy a la-z-boy couch soon and I was wondering which color you chose. It looks like the lightest one, how is it holding up with 3 kids and lots of company? I’m so nervous to buy a light color but it looks so pretty! :)
