Ok, I’ll stop rambling.Recently, I realized that since I started adding a touch of modern coastal decor to our home, I don’t need to do a lot of seasonal decorating. I hope to do a more detailed post on the cabinet and how the tv is hidden inside this fall maybe. This is not that, because it’s summer and #reallife I just pulled my camera out and took 20 minutes worth of pics. I basically take my whole house apart and put it back together to get nice photos which is why everything looks perfect and not cluttered or messy. I realized I didn’t grab a great pic of the fireplace builtins, but I’ll let you in on a blogger secret – typically when I shot my last home I moved my entire couch out of the room so I could get an unobstructed shot. I really need to figure out a video tour to capture it better. This next photo looks totally weird and shadowy (well all these photos are a bit weird and shadowy), but it was my best photoshop attempt at showing you the view out the windows. I have gotten a lot of emails asking me to share the exact dimensions of the ceiling situation and honestly guys, it would not be helpful to you unless your room is the exact same dimensions and the pitch of your roof is the exact same, my best advice is to hire someone who knows what they are doing (or drink some margaritas and give it a go)! It’s hard to pick if the ceiling or the windows are my favorite – it’s a pretty close race. I wanted something with a classic feel and pattern on the floor, but the jute makes it really practical and it hides sand and dirt really well. The stripes look black in the pics, but are actually navy. I had this rug picked out before we even broke ground on the house. One thing I do love and will be staying is our Dash and Albert rug. I don’t have it totally styled perfectly, I sort of just threw some old stuff in here so it doesn’t feel so empty and cavernous. Ok, enough about my couch buying experience (I just thought I should warn you all not to drink margaritas and couch shop) I do really love how this room turned out and we totally live in here when the weather stinks. It does fit the space perfectly though so it might grow on me. this has a bit of a micro-suede feeling, which makes it super practical being white and every muddy paw print washes right off. It’s not my dream couch because I would rather have more of a linen fabric vs. Our whole family can actually lay down on it at the same time and I would say it would seat 6 adults totally comfortably. I will say it is unbelievably comfortable. loved this couch and couldn’t understand why I wouldn’t get on board. Enter a couple of margaritas at the mexican restaurant next to the furniture store and all of a sudden this couch seemed fantastic!! ) The Mr. We had a thrilling date night furniture shopping a few months back and could not agree on anything. There are not a ton of furniture stores near us that had anything that fit the bill. He wanted a huge, deep sectional that he could actually sit on in person/lay down on for an hour in the store like a couple of weirdos and make sure it was comfortable. It really wasn’t comfy and there wasn’t a place for all of us to sit. Our living room furniture at our last house was pretty, but we never sat in there. had like zero requests for this house and really let me run with what I wanted except he put his foot down on one thing – a comfy couch. I’ll quit boring you with my photography woes and just show you what I got for now to give you an idea of the room, but photographers hit me up if you have a favorite wide angle lens you suggest or ideas how to shoot this room. I really need a wider angle lens to be able to fit the entire room in the frame, and I think I’m going to have to break down and buy an external flash because of the crazy amount of light that bounces in here every photo is blown out or pitch black. I know I have kept you all waiting on this one with good reason! This room is so unbelievably hard to photograph because I don’t have the right equipment. I’m just waiting on something I ordered to arrive and I’ll keep you posted! Many of you wanted my oars from the old house back, and I actually have a plan for those over the stairs now. I started responding to all the comments and World War 3 started in the basement over a yellow Lego (apparently the last yellow Lego in the universe completely intrical to each of my two angels current Lego creations). First off, I want to thank you all for the comments and suggestions on my last post! You guys had a million ideas.
