Living room decorating!

I know you've all been waiting to see what I came up with for my living room! It really looks better in person, but here are a few areas:

BEFORE:


First the entryway needed MUCH help! I ordered this bench from an out of work builder and couldn't be happier! It is so cute and just what I pictured. (we had to get rid of a lot of stuff!!)
AFTER:


I found these very cute boxes with lids at Burlington (there are 3 sizes and I bought them all!) I hope they get some more in so I can buy more.

This is above the entryway bench. I love this saying, and love the cute pictures of my children!



Here is a bigger picture of the entire entryway wall. I am so happy with it!



We also added this cozy reading corner by the bookshelf and the kids love sitting here and reading.

My wall of "B's" is slowly growing and I am on the look out for some couch covers next and a few rugs. I am having so much fun with this! I have unlocked my inner decorator for sure! Beth

It looks so good. I'll have to stop by next time I am in that end of town. I think in person is always better.

It all looks great, but I especially love the reading corner. It's the teacher in me.
