House Tour: Living Room/Kitchen

Welcome to House Tour Week! I thought it was probably about time I should you around our apartment. Today we will start with the kitchen/living room. When you walk into our apartment you come into the kitchen. Our kitchen and living room are one giant room. We set the couch up so it kind of divides the two spaces a little bit. And now for the pictures....

Winter Decorating

We are back with part 2 of our winter decor. The first post showed our new winter pillows my mom made.

We added a few more winter touches to the living room. First, the bookshelf....

I bought these wood log looking candles on clearance at Target.

I made these twine trees to add to the rustic winter vibe of the bookshelf.

These pine cones were also on clearance at Target and Lee whipped up a few moss balls for me to add among the pine cones.

Now the side table...

I bought this glass dish at the Dollar Tree and filled it with our wine corks. The texture and the color of the corks fit in with the rustic winter vibe the living room has. The color of the candle matches the next item...the window seat.

My mom made this flannel quilt for Lee. It fits in perfectly folded on top of our tv stand turned window seat. So that is our rustic winter living room decor. Have any of you added any winter touches to your home?

Wall Flowers

My awesome hubby bought me these 3 pretty wall vases (from CB2) for Christmas. I found these branches to go in them at Michaels and we hung them in our bedroom.

They look so simple and pretty, I love them!

Pillow Talk

My mom loves to sew. (Don’t even ask how many quilts I have that she has made me over the years!) After getting some inspiration from a Pottery Barn catalog, I asked her to make me some winter pillows for the couch. Here is the Pottery Barn picture…..

I went to the fabric store and bought a couple yards of burlap and brown corduroy. I just showed my mom the picture and she whipped them up.

They turned out pretty good huh? I love them and they look very similar to the expensive Pottery Barn pillows. Thanks mom!

Here are the brown corduroy pillows she made mixed in. She just made simple covers for the pillows we already had.

Finally, I added a pillow I recently purchased on sale (only $5!) at Pier 1. I love how they all look together!

So this is the start of our winter décor. We are working on a few craft projects so stay tuned for part 2 of our winter decorating….
