A Look Into Our Living Room
Originally my plan was to show you guys the craft room/office. Except there has been quite a bit of crafting {sewing} going on in that room as of late, so it is hardly picture ready. So in the meantime, I thought we could take a look through the living room. This is our version of the “fancy” room {although its not one bit fancy}–the one we don’t sit in as much–the one without the television–the one where I can put my cute pillows with less chance of chewed up goldfish ending up on them.
Some of my favorite handmade pillows.
And guess what? I am going to put these pillows {and more styles} up in my shop again very soon! Sound good?
Above left to right: my knob collection, my great grandma’s vintage typewriter, burlap crown pillow.
Above left to right: tall white thing from Home Goods, Willow Tree figurines, wire basket and green moss circles were a gift, frame and stand with a picture of the temple from a swap meet years ago.
I got Ben this Christ statue for his “Groom’s” gift the night before we were married {from Deseret Book}. It serves as our constant reminder that He is at the center of our home.

For those of you who have asked how I keep my couches white with a Tasmanian toddler in the house…bleach baby! These puppies are slip covers, so any time baby goop becomes visible, I just pop them in the washer and they come out like new. These couches, chairs and ottoman are from Ikea.
2. Local Surf Shop frame: recipe with love note written on it from our first date.
4. Home Goods: typography word art that reminds me of Baby W.
5. Old frame that I removed the glass and backing from then spray painted. Heart wings purchased at TJ Maxx years ago.
6. Mod Podge heart made for Baby W by Love Stitched
Not sure which room will come next, I suppose whichever is the most clean when I am ready to take pictures. If you missed a peek at my kitchen, click HERE.

I love how bright and cheery it is. At first I thought white couches with a toddler, then read that they are skip covers- brilliant!

Can't wait until some of those pillows make it into your etsy shop! Would love to have one of my own…
Super cute! How do you keep your couches so white? I have a white avouch and it looks cream. Bleach simply won't do it.

Your room looks so welcoming, but what stands out to me is the knob collection!!!! What a fabulous idea! I lOve cute knobs but am always thinking "what will I put them on" or "those won't match my house" or even "how many different kinds of knobs can one house hold?". You just gave me license to lOve!!! Thanks!! If I can get pinterest to work consider your idea pinned!!!
It's so fresh and clean! Love it!
Kudos for keeping that couch so clean! wow!
Your house is beautiful! I wish I could learn to decorate as well. I always have ideas, but you give inspiration! Great job! I'm looking forward to the additional photos!
Love the glass jar with all the pretty, colorful knobs!
Adorable. Love the wall art collage!

I LOVE hoe clean and beautiful and finished this looks
How do you like your ikea couches? We tested them out and are undecided. They almost feel not quite deep enough. I know you are not so very tall dudette, but what does your hubby think?
Such a bright and happy theme you got going in this room. Like you should be serving lemon cupcakes and wearing a flower in your hair. And playing happy music. No screamo station in this room. Love it!
love your living room!! can i copy it?? seriously adorable
I love your white couches! I wish I would have gotten white! Looks so clean and fresh!
Love your style so much that I awarded you the Happy 101 Award!!!

I adore that keep calm/carry on pillow
Your living room looks so calm! Love it
I love all the white, but whoa, how do you manage with a toddler?!?

How do you like the Ikea couches and chairs in terms of quality? I always think about getting them purely because of the slipcover thing, but I'm nervous about the quality.
Very pretty. What color paint is on your walls!? The ones I try all are turning pink in the light
Wow! I am truly impressed with the level of white you are able to maintain with a small child, bleach or no bleach! Thanks for sharing!
I'm loving all the new items in your shop! I've been a silent reader for a while now, but I noticed your giveaway on Tatertots and Jello, so I'm speaking up!
I don't know how you can have so much white stuff with a toddler.
Please come decorate my house, I am begging you! There's not one thing I don't like about these pictures. Bravo!
As well as price is very cheap, our website always the principle of high quality but lower price. So beautiful high fashion leather goods are no longer a small part of the “patent” and so that everyone can enjoy easily at any time.
Very happy with my purchae… thx seller. Will shop again soon!!!!
I love it! And I think I would like to start my own knob collection!
