Hi all.
It may be school holiday time, but. My oh my project tidy is coming into full
swing finally.
Just some painting, filling old holes and little cosmetic bits are nearly done and the living room will be back to it's former glory.
However, this weekend I sat down and looked at the room as it is. And as happy as I am with the progress we've made in the living room I could not help but see it’s missing something, A little word called Love.

However, this weekend I sat down and looked at the room as it is. And as happy as I am with the progress we've made in the living room I could not help but see it’s missing something, A little word called Love.
The one little word, love can turn a sterile, boring living
space place into a cosy, warm place full of character. Making it a fab little
place to enjoy family time, have friends round for dinner or even watching a
box set marathon or playing video games with the kids!
But how does a bloke with minimal style sense go about and
make a place a home? For me a home is a place with internet access wherever I
can sit. So this was going to be a difficult one to pull off.
I looked online at many “home style” websites. Yes, the
pictures looked pretty but the thing that concerned me here was if I were to
style our living room like some of these “style” publications I’m sure the
effort required to tidy these living areas up would become a huge chore with
three children and a disabled partner. So I spoke to my sister in law, a clever
lady who has a real talent for making an empty shell homely and loved.
“You Muppet try cushions” she exclaimed to me, as she said
it I wondered why I’d not thought about it. So I went looking. The local home
places were OK but lacked something, the ability to be child proof, with a 4, 5
and 13 year old they will take quite an amount of stick. I recently found
K&Co. this morning. Within moments I
was presented with a wide selection of cushions, throws and other lovely bits
to help make our living room become awesome again. I've found some amazing purple
throws for the chairs, a fox cushion for my corner chair (the corner of the
room for relaxing before their bed time), Lola cushions for the leather chairs
and a batman cushion for the girls
I feel the brownie points will increase somewhat this week once I've ordered them.
Which beings me to ask. If you’re thinking of changing the look of your living room,
what would you do to make it fantastic?
