Here’s a little peek at another room I’ve been working on lately, my living room. You might remember this gallery wall I worked on earlier this year.
Many of the accessories (and of course, the gallery wall) are still the same, but we recently purchased the new furniture; so I’ve been tweaking and finessing around those pieces.
I am loving the contrast between the chocolate brown and the softer blues and whites. My sofa has cleaner lines this time around, which is a bit of a departure from my typical style. But it’s not a big room, so the smaller profile of the arms works well. I also chose this more tailored style because I LOVE to accessorize (you might have noticed!), and I felt that a big ginormous overstuffed sofa was a bit too over the top with everything else in the room. This tailored look works much better.
Although, I have to admit, I did have second thoughts when it was delivered. It felt a little cold. But I have softened the look by mixing the colder textures (leather, etc) with some textured pillows and throws which give it a lighter feel. Now I couldn’t be happier!
Take a looksy at some of the other details….

Hope you enjoyed my little room tour! There lots more to come. The flooring goes down on the new basement development this week, and then I’ll be able to finally pull that space together. Can’t wait!
Until next time, happy decorating!

Welcome to A Pop of Pretty, a Canadian home decorating blog that chronicles my love of home decor and pretty things. I'm out to prove (mostly to myself!) that a pretty home is still possible amid the circus of 3 young kids, including twin toddlers. {More...}

Did you paint the hutch yourself? GORGEOUS! Come decorate my house!!
Hi…great blog! I’d like to know where you got the water painting over your sofa? It’s gorgeous and I may want to have (or paint if I have to) something like it for ours.
thanks!
I love the colors you chose, they work very well together. Especially the side tablees;)
Thanks so much! I love all those colors! ~Kerri
I love, love, love your website! Your house is amazing! xo your little sis!
Great room, and great idea for the space over the sofa. I’m always trying to come up with new and more interesting things for that space. Love your site- just came across it via aka design.

P.S. Can you change your email subscription options somehow so I get the whole post by email instead of just the titles?
I will go try that right now Shannon – thanks for letting me know, I didn’t realize that was happening.
