Inside My Apartment: The Living Room

My living room design started with the curtains. I spotted them at a thrift store, and instantly fell in love with the bold, floral pattern (and the $20 price tag). Yellow is, admittedly, an odd color choice for living room curtains. But since there's no overhead light in the room, I wanted a splash of sunny color to wake up the space. To keep the yellow from feeling childish, I painted the walls a neutral color, Olympic Oyster Shell. I chose to leave the bay window walls off-white, so the little nook would feel distinct in such a large room.

  5. Thank you, antique typing! It's a blend--I have some new stuff (like the couch), but a lot of the items are antiques.

    1. Thank you! My husband's office was cleaning out a floor, and gave away everything. So it was a freebie! Maybe you could try a used office furniture store?
