My living room is in dire need of a makeover. We have been in this apartment for maybe seven or so years and to me as much as I have tried to make it alright looking. It just never sat right with me. As the years gone by we just lived with it until this year. This year we need a change. When I say we needed a change, I was more pushed by my client (who happens to be my mom) to really start this makeover. We were going to move into a larger home but decided to stay here a little longer to save more money. So our rule was if we are going to be staying then there need to be some changes.
Current Living Room Couch
What we are living with is a couch that is extremely old. It is beige but looks dirty all the time. As much as I love using our natural couch cleaning solution. It just wasn’t any point with how old this couch is. The inside is pretty much sunken in so you are literally sitting in a hole. The armrest structure broke and made a new sunken area. My son liked sitting on it that part the most. It is safe to say that it is time for that couch to retire.
Current Living Room Entertainment Center
One area that bothers me the most would have to be my entertainment center. When we first got it, it worked. We did not have too many things on it. However, over the years we have collected new gaming devices, games and controllers. Not to meant more DVDs so another case to store that as well. Before we knew it, it started to look more like a cluttered space. It stopped working for us.
On the side of the entertainment center held a boatload of VHS tapes in smaller shelves however it is all broken down. It sways to the side all the time and the backing is really is the only support for this shelf. I can’t wait to get rid of it. You may be wondering why we have some much tapes, but there are from when I was little and plus we rather replace a tape with a DVD as we go. There are some classic movies we have. Can’t just donate it away.
Living Room Makeover Plan
Final Thoughts
With this new plan, I hope to gain more storage. Especially hidden storage so I don’t have to see any for videos. It will add more space by having two side chairs. The white color will make the room feel airier and less dark. As much as I love darker furniture, there needed to be a great balance. I believe that my new plan will achieve that.
