Modern Farmhouse Living Room

Our Home

24 Sep

This post is sponsored by Raymour + Flanigan. Thanks for supporting brands that I really love and that make this little blog of mine possible!

You guys… I have decorated for the first time in months! Life has been so crazy with a baby and I really haven’t had any time to focus on what the house looks like or any projects. I’m loving every minute of mom life, but I decided I wanted to redesign the living room a little bit. We weren’t really feeling our brown couches anymore and we needed more space as our family is growing. We thought it would be great to get a sectional and create a little bit more space for Layla’s toys. Let me give you a peek at what the living room looked like before.

Above is a peek of what it looked like last Christmas (9 months ago). And below is what it looks like now!

I am obsessed with our new space! We had the rug since February, but it looks so much better in this space. To recreate this living room space, we got a new couch, switched out the coffee table for the wicker ottoman, and put up family photos on the gallery wall. The gallery wall came in a kit and it was super easy to install. The wicker ottoman opens up and we can store toys in it. My favorite part of the whole makeover is the couch of course! If you’re a long time follower, you know how much I love Raymour + Flanigan’s furniture. We’ve partnered together a few times in the past, so I know the true quality of their furniture and what a great selection they have. They also have a budget and style for everyone.

We went to the local showroom to try out sectionals before deciding. There were two other couches we loved, but they were too big for our space. The one we got is called the daine sectional, and it’s awesome because you can customize the sectional to your space. You can take away or add to make it bigger or smaller, and you can add a chaise to it too if you wanted. The store associate helped us pick out which pieces were going to work with our measurements. I think it fits this space perfectly.

Last year, we got the fireplace tv console from Raymour + Flanigan too! It is the perfect touch of farmhouse to this modern vibe. And now look at all that room for my baby girl’s toys in our new space. I never thought I’d be happy at the sight of toys all over the living room. Oh how things change.

 

The new additions to the living room brighten up the space and really pulls together the rest of our home. I can’t wait to create more memories and snuggle up in this space with our family. I’m already looking forward to decorating for Christmas and cozying up by our little fireplace in this beautiful room of ours. I’d love to hear what you think of our new space!

xo,

This is such an easy way to make sourdough pasta! This is such an easy way to make sourdough pasta! No fancy pasta attachment required. 

INGREDIENTS: 
-3 cups of flour (I used freshly milled white wheat)
-1 cup starter (discard is fine) 
-4 eggs 

DIRECTIONS:
1. Place everything in mixer and until dough smooths out. Or create a well with flour, add eggs and starter and mix on the counter. 
2. Let dough ferment for at least 30 min. 
3. Divide into 8ish sections, dust counter with lots of flour, then roll as thin as possible. 
4. Use a pizza cutter to cut pieces as desired. Make sure to be using lots of flour so nothing sticks! 
5. Lay on a cooling rack or hang to dry for at least 30 min. 
6. Boil water, add salt and once boiling cooking for 6-7 minutes. 

We enjoyed this pasta in a tomato pesto chicken alfredo, it was so good!
