However, I recently finished a quick makeover of one corner of my living room, and wanted to share it since I think it turned out pretty cute for about $80. I was inspired by this photo of Todd Oldham's living room, with his huge collection of Charley Harper prints.
Since Charley Harper is one of my favorite artists, I was eager to bring more of his work into my space and I already had two framed calendar pages in another room. So, I purchased two more Ribba frames from Ikea and selected two more pages from my trusty wall calendar, then watched as N hung them in a grid above my grandmother's antique console table. I finished the area with a lamp from my mom, some candles and vases, and my red wooden shoes from when I was 7 (because I like them).
I like how the prints are a bit silly (who else has a 12x12 picture of an otter hanging around?) and they fill the space nicely. I may move them to a child's room one day in the (distant) future, but for now they make me smile and that's what a good room should do, right?
In other news, I am completely enamored with this rug at West Elm and will be stalking it until it goes on sale and then putting it in our dining area.
P.S. My walls are a pale gray color that is reading beige in that terrible picture.
