Our living room


Our living room and office are connected by two French glass doors. One thing we wanted while designing this house was to have an area that the family would hang out in. We tried to keep in mind older kids and their needs. We thought having everything out in the open was the perfect why.

For the first couple of months we had no furniture in there. It was one of the things that kept me from feeling like we had moved in all the way. I knew we were going to buy a few pieces of furniture, but I hated to go in there. It just made the entire space, office included, non usable. Two weeks ago Adam and I went to Envy in west jordan and bought two black leather chairs and a smaller sofa made out of microfiber. On another outing to downeast home we found a cool black buffet/console (I'm not sure what it is) that serves to hold our media. (just as a side note we have found countless good deals there so if you have never gone...Go)

I just love being in there now. We had some friends over last weekend and it was the perfect place to just sit and talk. It is exactly what were going for when we designed the space.

I also included a photo of our stairs since we hung some framed leaves. Looks so much better.

I'm so glad you posted the photos of your new furniture--it looks fabulous! It's cozy and stylish. The pillows on the couch are very cute, and you know I love the black console piece. Pretty much I enjoy all of it, and I'm so glad it feels more like home to you now.

Everything looks great, Amy. No surprise there. It's fun to see pictures since I can't come in person. Please keep posting photos of other areas of the house, like the girls' rooms, etc. I always love your decorating style! Jared would be v. jealous of the tv. He's dying to get one.

I looked at your photos of your studio. Wow- you are one lucky girl. I would kill for a permanent space to work in our house, but apartment living just isn't what it is cracked up to be. Maybe next time- you at least gave me some great ideas.
