The formal living room at our house is the poor neglected room while the other spaces evolve. I've finally been giving it a little attention. There are big plans on the horizon, like board and batten, built ins, new window treatments, and a sofa.
Until those magical mystical things happen I didn't want it to be an eye sore since it is what people see when they walk into my house. yaknowwhatimean?
I started this gallery wall a few months ago and it has been evolving ever since. Ya know, I walk by something in another room, grab it, and relocate it because clearly it was meant to live on this wall instead. It's really just a bunch of things I had hastily put together & all my other walls might be bare now but... I'll just make some more stuff for them, right?
Some things I made, some things I bought, and filled in the rest with pictures of cute kids and that darling husband of mine.

Not too shabby though.
The coffee table started off as just a base that I found on a local yardsale page. It had a weird silvery finish. So I picked up some Rustoleum Oil-Rubbed-Bronze spray paint and gave it a little makeover.
My husband whipped up the top for it out of some pine boards from Lowes, and it is stained Dark Walnut by Minwax.
The chairs I picked up from Downeast Home, which is a total secret weapon for locals. They sell discounted name brand furniture. These chairs happen to be Pottery Barn originally, but I picked them up for a much smaller price tag from Downeast Home.
The rug is actually from Hobby Lobby. Insane huh?
The pretty linen pillows are from Ikea.
Here is the coffee table before.
And after
What do you think?

Industrial coffee tables seems more durable and the parts could be easily replaced, but they might not be suitable in a house with kids. Nice post.
