Thriving Thursdays

I’ve been a slacker with my Thriving Thursdays vision boards. I’ve been busy working on some vision boards for a few clients! I hope to show you some before and afters soon! I decided to use a new color that I’m not use to decorating with around my house….. PINK! No…. I’m not prego I just wanted to do a nursery vision! I’ve already planned and decorated two boy nursery’s so it was fun to switch it up and maybe dream a little… just a little ;) Yes its the oh so famous gray and yellow… but with a lovely pop of coral and a very pretty blue-green! I love it! I’m tellin ya…. girls have so many more options in all area’s of fashion and decor!

It doesn’t look like it should be too hard to duplicate right? I’ve had problems with “decorators block” lately so hopefully it goes smoothly! Wish me luck! I hope you have a lovely week! I’ll post pictures and the tutorial soon!

New Living Room Layout

First off I am completely open to honest opinions. I will share mine with you but don’t let it affect what you think! We rearranged our living room and I have a problem….. I think I like it better the old way. Here are the pro’s/con’s to the layouts…….

Old Layout

Pros:

  • very cozy and comfortable
  • visually appealing

Cons:

  • doesn’t provide a lot of floor space
  • unable to use end tables with lamps due to outlet/cord issues
  • not enough space for a coffee table
  • couldn’t see the TV very well from the love seat


New Layout

Pros:

  • A LOT more floor space
  • I can use a coffee table and end tables
  • you can see the TV well from love seat and sofa

Cons:

  • not as visually appealing


OK… OK… the pro’s/con’s make it totally obvious which layout I should stick with but here is my battle. I’m a very visual person and the new layout just isn’t fulfilling my visual needs but I love that it provides more floor space for the kiddos to play.

Here are the things I still need to add to the room. Maybe once I finish it and add the missing pieces I will like it a little more…… enough babbling….. what are your thoughts? Sorry the pics are a little dark… it was a gloomy day.
