Last week I featured a collection of pretty kitchens. Today I thought I’d share living rooms with beautiful style. Each one is unique and I think you’ll find something to love in each space. Blue and white is a classic color scheme and you really can’t go wrong when you pair these two in any…

Living room decor should be comfortable and beautiful. Here you'll find both living and family room ideas in a range of styles and color schemes.
10 Living Rooms to Love
According to the dictionary, a living room is a room in the house used by family for leisure activities or entertaining guests. But growing up, our living room was a formal area where we weren’t allowed to go. The only time I remember using that room at all was on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. Today,…
Small Space Living Rooms
Lately I’ve turned a critical eye to both my living room and family room. Neither room is particularly large, but they’re adjacent to each other with a fairly large doorway so the spaces feel spacious. I thought I would use today’s “Humpday with Houzz” to do a little research and find small space living rooms…
Spring Tiptoes through the Living Room

Lilacs and Vintage Mirrors
After a long winter’s nap, I find myself craving fresh flowers and lots of natural light. Whatever I can clip from the garden makes its way into the house.
