I rearranged our living room yet again after finally getting our piano moved in and I'm finally really happy with how everything is set up. It feels cozy but there's still plenty of open space and almost every piece of living room appointed furniture still fits in here. I've shared an interview along with photos over on A Beautiful Mess. It was such a treat to be invited to share our space. If you haven't browsed through all the other rooms in the At Home With feature you need to clear some space in your afternoon.
Room Details: Almost every piece of furniture in this room has been thrifted or DIY'ed. The new pieces are from ikea (rug, floor lamp, striped fabric on pillow, white plastic write-on frame), the heart print is from Gingiber, art prints on the wall are from Hula Girl and Kiki & Polly, oversize print is blown up from a family photo, pillows are mostly handmade, magazine rack was a DIY, the three-tiered lampshade I made myself, and the kids as well.
It's such a good feeling to have a room finally feel like it's figured out. I do, however, give myself permission to rearrange things as soon as I get the itch. Know the feeling?

I'm so thankful for creative people, like you, that share their creativity! Your home looks wonderful and cozy. And, I am very jealous of that beautifully painted piano. My husband and I might be moving just a couple hours south in a couple months and that piano that I currently have is just a loaner. But you can bet your boots I'll be looking for one to paint upon moving : )

Your decorating is always so gorgeous, Rachel! :) I love how this place of yours has a darker feel with the wood, but the pops of turquoise have me swooning, too! Lovely.
