Living Room Updates

We bought a new couch this week and it totally transformed the look of our living room! We've been working on things bit by bit, (painting, adding curtains and such), but a new couch really pulled it all together! Here is what our living room looked like when we moved in last summer:

And now:

 Lots of freebies/ cheapies involved: the lily poster is another science building save from my dad, and I thrifted the coffee table.

 I'm warning you, this chaise lounge is sooo comfortable. I'm on it right now and I'm about to fall asleep.

 I made the curtains and they were super easy! The curtain fabric was really the inspiration for everything else in the room, and it will be  so easy to pull colors from it for accessories later on.

 My talented father made this bench for me years ago, and it just happened to look perfect under this window!

I just snuck this picture of tulips in because they're so pretty(:

We still need a lot of things like lamps and bookshelves, but I'm so happy to have a cohesive room!
