Ravenna Living Room Reveal (Take #2)
THE RAVENNA HOUSE Well guys, as I mentioned last month, I finally won the debate and we now have a sofa in the living room. And let me just say that everyone - seriously, everyone - has mentioned how much better the layout is now. Oh how good it feels to be a winner!
Adding the couch led to full on redecorating escapades that culminated the morning before we had some special guests at the Ravenna House. Here's a look at the new and improved living room.
I'm pretty obsessed with gallery walls. I have a whole board on Pinterest dedicated to these lovlies and never ever get sick of them. So I thought why not put one in the Ravenna House? I built this one with black and white prints from Costco's art collection and frames from Ikea.
Lets talk about toy storage. I bought two baskets from Ikea for like $20 a piece and they are a godsend. Where we used to have toys strewn about the living room, hiding in every nook and cranny, they're now almost completely contained in those two baskets. Now if I could just get Wilder to put away his own toys...some kids actually do that, right?!
If you're interested, take a look back at our old living room layout. What do you guys think? Is the redo new and improved or just new?
