Turning The Living Room Into A Loft (!!!)

I mean. Did you think that it wouldn’t happen?

The living room is being turned into a loft! (Well obviously not an actual loft but a totally loft-like space!!)

Now I know what some of you are thinking. Already?! I loved your living room! etc. etc. Well the truth is that my living room looks nothing like it did 2 years ago when I shared it with you. The orange couch was the star, and with it’s demise, is now having a child actor moment in the storage unit. Almost all of the other furniture was sold at the last Hoard Sale, and dang it, I wanted a change.

I know when I start to get antsy (like looking for another house) its time for something new. I have been utterly consumed with living in a warehouse space, the problem is that Court doesn’t love old things. That will never happen in my marriage. So I had to find a way to make the space we have feel loft-ish. The good news is that we have really high ceilings so its totally doable.

The plans include:

1. BRICK! Ok so I am just going to say this so that you know how entirely obsessed I am. Brick is the new Leather. I feel like that wraps it up in a neat little package no? After seeing how it transformed Durango’s it was an easy choice.

2. Lots of new lighting to brighten up the space.

3. A settlement on the couch debate (still haven’t decided, I need to move everything in and try it out)

4. Art of course, but not just any art. If the plan actually works it is going to be FREAKING AMAZING art. We’ll see.

5. Plants and lots of them.

So what do you think? Do you support the loft movement?
