Farmhouse Living Room Inspiration

I have partnered with Raymour & Flanigan and received product in exchange for this post. All expressed opinions are 100% my own.

I'm sure you remember that we recently worked with Raymour & Flanigan Furniture to redo and create our dream master bedroom (which I'm still absolutely loving by the way), and I am beyond thrilled to tell you all that we've partnered with them again to makeover our living room!

Yay! So fun right?! I knew right away the direction I wanted to go with the new theme and look for the living room... Farmhouse style of course! I mean, just because we live in an apartment doesn't mean it can't look the way we want and feel the way we want, and as you know, I'm simply smitten for the farmhouse style that Joanna Gaines has made so popular. I quickly got to work browsing the Raymour & Flanigan website and looking over all of the sofas, furniture and decor that Raymour & Flanigan offers, and though it was an ever so difficult decision, I kept coming back to the same one over and over. I just couldn't get this sofa out of my mind.

The Lakeside sofa. Yep, it's a classic farmhouse looking sofa, off-white, comfortable, and family friendly since it has a slip-cover that can be washed when needed.

When it came to the other seating in the room, I came sooooo close to choosing the "chair-and-a-half" that matches the Lakeside Sofaalong with the ottoman in the same collection, but since we are short on room and I also knew I'd miss being able to rock my little girl when she wakes in the middle of the night needing to be held we decided to go with the Avery Glider Chair. It's not a perfect match, but close enough that it totally works, gives the room a slightly matched but slightly mismatched and more unique feel and is just the absolute perfect chair. Though the Lakeside Sofa is currently unavailable through Raymour & Flanigan, this Brighton sofa looks really similar to the Lakeside sofa that we chose (I really love that it's a sleeper sofa as well) and is so pretty, definitely would have been my second option.

Now when it comes to lamps, I've had my eye on these Menlo Lane floor lamps for practically forever. I've been drooling over them, added them to every wishlist to keep an eye on pricing and dreamed of adding them to our home, so when I noticed that Raymour & Flanigan Furniture offered them, I might have done a little happy dance (or a big happy dance).

Now let's talk throw pillows, I LOVE throw pillows. They add so much character to a room and you can also let a little more of your personality shine through with throw pillows. That's why I chose these Family Throw Pillows! Not only are they cute and give off a rustic/farmhouse feel with the jute fabric they're made from, but family is so important to me. Truly one of the most important things in my life and I just love these.

The other throw pillows I chose, are so pretty, kind of a greige and mint color with different designs, though Raymour & Flanigan doesn't currently carry them online anymore, I knew I had to have them when I spotted them in the showroom in Jamestown, New York on our latest visit to the store. I'll show you more of them in the full room reveal coming to the blog next month but in the meantime, these are similar. :)

Last Autumn I gave a sneak peek of our living room (find that post here), and talked about this tv stand that I absolutely fell in love with and still love that we have, and also our rug that we still have (and still love). Some other new additions to the room: the new computer chair, which matches our dining room chairs (a full dining room reveal will also be coming soon) to sort of tie the rooms in together a little and keep the theme flowing. And since all of the walls in our home are white, we've been adding a little character to some of the rooms in the past couple months with stick and peel wallpaper, I'm loving this white-washed reclaimed wood look wallpaper that we added in the living room recently. Some other touches I love are farmhouse signs, especially scripture farmhouse signs, I've incorporated a couple of my favorite scriptures into our home recently. Right now we have a letter B monogram that we purchased a few years ago right after we got married hung above the tv (on the newly wallpapered wall, though you can hardly tell that it's wallpaper), and I'm considering moving our magnolia wreath (that was in our master bedroom) into the living room recently as well (but haven't decided yet). I'm also hoping to add a felt letterboard, and this "gather" sign above some family photos eventually. I definitely will have to add a few more decor pieces throughout the room, maybe I'll visit some antique stores or just do some online shopping haha.

Anyway, I simply cannot wait to show you all the entire room soon, I'll chat in more detail about all of the pieces we chose from Raymour & Flanigan and of course there'll be lots of photos. Here's a sneak peek of one of the lamps and a small portion of our pretty new sofa! XO!
