But in the absence of much color, the living room decor makes a statement with pops of blue, red, green and brown with the rug, leather chair and shelf decor. We labored over wall color (some of you may remember the paint-gate fiasco I shared over on my InstaStories last summer 😉 ) because we wanted it to be a creamy, off-white blend that was different enough from the white trim that it didn’t look like we’d just opted for white on white. What she came up with was exactly what we were hoping for. When we were working on furnishings, I had shared some inspiration with Marie of the Holland House. The living room, however, is grounded by the most gorgeous rug in all of the land. They soften the space in the absence of a rug and we love it. Instead, the lovely design team at the Holland House installed the subtle curtain panels.
We chose not to put a rug under the table because it felt like too many rugs on top of each other. The light fixture in this space may look familiar if you remember our previous home… we brought it with us from that dining room! We loved the bench seating we had with our last dining room table so we made sure this new table had that feature as well. We love that it always feels so easy to move from the kitchen to this natural wood table. As anyone enters from the front door of this house, you truly get to dive right into the entirety of the home. We always knew our next house would allow for bedroom separation (more details on that coming later!) but the main living space would need to be ideal for entertaining and, honestly, family time. Our last home was built in the early 1930’s when house were very compartmentalized. While open concept is appealing to most people right now, this particular design really lends itself to a flow that goes uninterrupted. I mentioned early on in the building process that we were drawn to this floor plan. They’re one in the same really which is one of my favorite parts about this entire home. I figured we might as well wrap up the open living space since we started with the kitchen this week is all about our living and dining rooms.
