Our French / Industrial / On A Budget Living Room......
Well...it isn't fussy or fancy...and it may not wow you...but for us its perfect!
Gone are the over stuffed pieces that made this room look dark and dreary...
we sold each and every one of them..
now we have a living room that we can all enjoy....where nothing is too special or too precious ...
a room to sit and read in..or to curl up and watch a movie (yes there is a t.v. under my french chair picture)...
after all it is a "living room" and it will be put to good use I can assure you! John made the bench ...the table and the shelf....I think they are just what the room needed to give it that sort of rustic edge. I am so glad you came by to see it....now I am going to sit and flip through some decor magazines and books to get some Christmas ideas ...can you believe it is November already?! xoxo

It looks fabulous. Love the furniture and the shelf and bench are stunning. Great pieces. Hugs, Marty
I recently discovered your blog and really love it. I love your style most of all. Your living room looks like a nice cozy room to sit back and relax. One of my favorite rooms in your house is the sunroom and kitchen. I've really enjoyed looking at all of your rooms!
Wow Chrissy, quite a change, and it looks wonderful! John did a great job, I love the table and the bench! I think it looks incredible!
Our living room is for living, we live in it, I'm not one to put up a "vignette" for the soul sake of decor, anything sitting on my tables are things I use, we love, and that remind us of special times. So I get what you're saying. This is a wonderful post, as always, my visit to your blog has been a pleasure, xoxo tami
Hi Chrissy,
It looks absolutely beautiful!!! I love everything that you did! The sofas look perfect with all of your treasures, awesome choice!
Fabulous job!
Have a lovely day!
Sincerely,
Melinda
It's Perfect!!! I love the rustic look with a mix of woods and darker colors. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one out there that doesn't have white slipcovered furniture.
Enjoy your new room:-)

No, I can't. Usually I have a list of ideas in my head for gifts I want to get people, this year...I can't even make myself think about Christmas yet.
I love your room. You know how different it is from my style, but I love how comfortable and uncluttered it is. Beautiful!
I love the mood of your new room! I loved the old one too. You have such a great style. Perfectly edited. All your rooms are inspiring!
This corner exudes an incredible peace. You've created something amazing. I'm enthusiastic!!!

LOve it! you should be in Jeand d arc living magazine!! xoxo
Oh Chrissy...what a beautiful room you have created! I love every detail ~ it looks warm and welcoming! Enjoy!!
Adore it! Inquiring minds need to know.... Where did you find you gray love seats? How did you put the tv under the fame? How did you hand the letters next to the tv/frame?
I LOVE the lamp, basket and the clock together on that table.
Your room looks inviting and comfortable! Perfect!
Hi Chrissy...
Ohhh...your living room turned out GORGEOUS, my friend! I really do LOVE the beautiful bench that your honey made for you! It looks awesome being used for you coffee table! Love the round table too! It's just wonderful that your honey is such a talented wood worker and furniture craftsman! Love all the sweet touches that you added as well...the vignettes...FABULOUS as always! You just have such a knack with them! Thank you for sharing your newly redone living room with us, my friend...this was such a treat! I'm soooo happy for you!

I love it Chrissy! And it certainly doesn't look like it was on a budget. It is beautiful and classic, just like you!

I don't remember the oversized stuffy pieces but I do love the changes you've made. This room is perfectly cozy to me. Less is more...isn't it?
