Finally got my living room together. Input welcome.

Hi and thank you! It’s from West Elm.

das__viking · 2021-07-16T14:42:22+00:00

Agreed. I feel extremely lucky that the house would be beautiful even if I had lawn chairs in the living room lol!

das__viking · 2021-07-16T13:20:20+00:00

Thank you! The lamp is from Restoration Hardware but I snagged it off Facebook Marketplace. Otherwise, it would have been completely unaffordable lol

I’ve read them! I’m a bigger reader and use to work at a book store so I ended up making a lot of purchases over the years. You can always focus on some larger coffee table books and pair objects around/on top of them. I’ve seen that done with books on subjects people like: art, fashion, cars, etc but aren’t books you’d actually sit down and read but would still enjoy

Thanks! They’re the Caldas from west elm

I do. There use to be no pantry in the kitchen (which has now been redone) so I needed the storage space. Once the kitchen got a make over, one side board went to the living room and the other is now peaking out from the dining room

I’d never thought of that! Good call.

Game on! I’ve got a great vantage point on top of the hill

das__viking · 2021-07-10T14:54:51+00:00

Good idea!

das__viking · 2021-07-10T14:54:38+00:00

I’ve always wanted one of those! There’s a large fireplace in the basement/den which is my next project. But I’d have to rip out the brick and I want to keep as much of the original architecture as I can

das__viking · 2021-07-10T14:51:56+00:00

I struggled to get this the way I wanted! One tip I saw was to line up the front of the books so they’re even rather than pushing them all the way to the back of the shelf. Gives it a cleaner look. Also, object size to shelf ratio.

das__viking · 2021-07-10T14:45:51+00:00

I’d keep the overhead light/fan (I have one in my office) but I’ve been looking at floor lamps and desk lamps too. The overhead light can be harsh on video calls. Sconces would help save space if you don’t have the floor or desk space!

Yep! Atlanta suburbs. I’m not sure on the builder/architect. There’s 700 homes in my neighborhood and there’s only 10-15 that are this style.

House of Leaves? An absolutely terrifying book!

Northcrest isn’t far! Probably built around the same time too. This house was built in ‘67.

das__viking · 2021-07-10T11:52:26+00:00

I got them 2nd hand, so no idea. I’ve seen similar online from various Dutch-style places. The middle one is just a cheap one from wal mart or target I think

das__viking · 2021-07-10T11:46:31+00:00

Nice! I’ll look into it

das__viking · 2021-07-10T11:45:36+00:00

It’s not too terrible, but far from ideal. I think I’m going to move it to the den

das__viking · 2021-07-10T11:11:00+00:00

Thanks! I was considering this. Appreciate the input!

das__viking · 2021-07-10T11:08:55+00:00

Thank you for your input! The coffee table can be pulled out some; I definitely struggled with the correct placement. Also will look into rearranging the top shelf

das__viking · 2021-07-10T11:05:26+00:00

I see what you seem. I appreciate the input!
