Living Room Progress

My focus lately has been on redecorating our living room. I have gone over about 100 different ideas I wanted to do and finally decided on just making it a sitting room/library. However anything would be better then what it has been. It's the room right as you walk in the door and for a year now it has been a storage room. Lovely! I totally fell in love with some fabric I saw at hobby lobby that had some oranges, yellows, and browns- it was gorgeous and I had my heart set on them for curtains, but it was almost $24.00/yard- YIKES!! I couldn't bring myself to pay that so I went shopping with my mom and sister to home fabrics which is a discount fabric store and we found a new love for a MUCH better price (about 1/4th the cost)!!
Here is a picture of the new color pallet thus far:

The floral pattern is for the curtains- it has some chocolate browns, champagne, cream, blues, grays... it's lovely! Then the fabrics on top I've made pillows out of- love the brown and cream zebra!! By the way- I had never made a pillow before and my mom taught me last Sunday and I've since made 6!! They are sooooooo easy!!

I also painted this lovely coffee table to give it a bit of a face lift and to fit better in the room.

I also decided that I didn't want couches or love seats in there- just 4 chairs. We were lucky enough to find one we liked at Walmart of all places. It is a dark brown/black leather recliner with very clean lines. We were actually able to buy the floor models for three of them which helped us to save some money as well!
Still have a lot to do. We need a rug, blinds, and I need to finish the curtains (I have 2 panels hung, and then there will be another panel in the middle and they still need to be hemmed). We also want to build some built in bookshelves for the far wall, but that is a job for another day. It is coming along though and looks a million times better then the storage room it was a few days ago!!
