help my living room live

Ok, so I got inspired for the living room, for a second, come with me.

I have to cringe, show you my living room, slapped together so we can live, after painting it. As you can see, not inspired at all, and thus, the work I am going to put in it. Note: I already have a replacement for the pendant.

Don't order these, I did and got the ugliest things in the mail today, not like in the photo, much bigger, with blocks as brackets, icky! They are going back.
I got these curtain rods, sooo deeply discounted, after seeing them online someplace, maybe Little Green Notebook? I had previously thought them ugly, now I disagree with myself. Self has some growing up to do. So I xx the ones from Restoration.


I am thinking ivory linen curtains, what do you think?

I really like these curtains, in this pretty green.


And this black and white rug has been calling my name for months...


But maybe with green curtains, a jute rug, like this super soft one from ol'barn, would look nice.

I am thinking a cabinet like this one?
I have decided that craigslist is a perfectly suitable furniture store, amen.
Oh, side note, the love seat I got looks like this, or at least, it will look like that when I am finished with it.


Ok, I just decided, this is my inspiration photo, and I need greener curtains...
