Our Living Room: Its Current Status

 {Our Project Foreman, Sage}

Though I don’t typically post this many updates as we renovate and decorate our home (you may have noticed that I tend to just post the plans and then the pretty), I’m really enjoying filling you all in on the process along the way. Apparently this whole One Room Challenge thing is onto something! Who knew :) 

We’re actually in really good shape as far as our living room is concerned. Much better shape than I was anticipating at this point, to be completely honest. All of our furniture, art, and accessories have been ordered and are on their way. Our walls have been patched, sanded and, painted the most beautiful shade of soft grey (creamy walls, begone!). Our Metrie crown moulding has gone up. Our yellowed light switches and wall outlets have been switched out for those of the crisp, white, variety. And our ceiling medallion has been put in place. It’s actually a really inexpensive plastic version we bought at Lowes (until we can save up for a real plaster version), and I’m shocked at how great it looks now that it’s installed. Truth be told, it may just stay forever and ever, and that’s perfectly fine by me. 

Here’s a quick peek at where we’re at currently.

Four weeks down, two to go! Stay tuned next wednesday for one more update before the final reveal.
