Modern Farmhouse Living Room

We have a large family.

For those of you who read the first post on this blog, you know I went from a mother of 1 to a mother of 3 and then 4 - it's a circus and these are definitely my monkeys. 

We needed a big house. We needed a larger living room. 

Here - you'll see the living room we used to pile up in. 

It was a beautiful dreamy cozy living room. 

With a 14 yr old boy, two 11 year old girls,

 and a 11 month old baby girl - we needed more space all around. 

Enter current living room.

The walls had caulk in them and were a beautiful 12' tall.

I love the raw shiplap but all this white caulk was bleh.

We sold the Gothic Revival UFO light fixture - I'm still shopping for the replacement - and we painted two of the four walls. 

After hunting for the perfect rug, we are about 75% complete with this room.

We will be adding shelves on the entire TV wall and then I have to hang LOTS of things up!

You'll see my mantle - it was a rescue from the parlor (up next!)

I don't have a fireplace but a girl can't live in a house without a mantle...

hello - Christmas decorations!
