My LIVING ROOM Reveal

Hi cuties and welcome back to the Allison in Wonderland blog!  I hope you’re having a wonderful week so far.  Today, I’m so excited to share my living room design with you!  I’ve been teasing little bits and pieces in blog posts and on my Instagram account for a few weeks now but the reveal is finally here.  Keep reading to find out where everything is from, how much I paid for it, and how I’m liking it!

To start off with the biggest piece in the room, my couch is from Wayfair!  It’s called the Haleigh Sofa and it’s an orange color.  At first, I was searching for a brown couch but then I fell in love with this one!  As you might be able to tell, I have a southwestern theme going on in this room so the orange tones work really well with the other accent colors.  In January, I paid about $800 but it’s not on the Wayfair website anymore so I’m not sure how much it’s selling for now.

The long, wooden shelf on the wall is self-made!  I went to Lowe’s to buy the wood, stain, and screws and, with a little TLC, I was able to put it together myself!  I measured it to be the exact length of my couch so it’s pretty long but I love the look of it.  It’s so sturdy and ended up to be an amazing base for the prints I chose!  I’m actually thinking of selling these shelves this summer in all different lengths.  Is anyone interested?

Speaking of my prints, they’re one of my favorite decorations in this room!  Going with my southwestern theme, I knew I wanted images of cacti and some kind of animal so I hopped on Etsy and did some digging.  I ended up with a desert print (click here), a cactus print (click here), and a cow (click here).  Each was less than $6 for the digital file and I love them!  I got them printed for under $20 each at Walgreen’s and it was so much cheaper than I was expecting.  I found the perfect white frames at Michael’s (click here) and I couldn’t be happier with them.  I definitely recommend buying digital files and printing them yourself – so much cheaper than having prints + the frame shipped to your house!

Moving on to my pillows, the adorable bigger ones are from Home Goods and Kaekoo Pillow Shop.  The pink, white, and gray pillow from Kaekoo is called the Mertice pillow (click here) and it couldn’t fit my theme any better!  Both are so fun and I feel like they add so much to this space.

My gold floor lamp and white, decorative lights are from Target!  I’ve actually had the decorative lights (click here) since my freshman year of college.  I never thought I’d get so much use out of them!  Even though I’ve never actually plugged them in and used them as lights, I’ve used the heck out of them in terms of adding a little brightness and texture to my rooms.  My floor lamp (click here) is also one of my favorite things in my living room!  It’s so simple but adds a nice pop of gold to that corner of the room.

Finally, my blue and gray area rug (scroll down for photos) is from Overstock!  I’ve learned through the moving process that rugs are one of the hardest things to buy online because you can’t always tell what color they’re going to end up being and they’re very expensive for them not to be exactly what you want.  When I found this one though (click here), I decided to go for it.  I love how the colors tie into my gray walls and the blue makes the orange of the couch really stand out.  So far, it’s been holding up really well and I think it was a wonderful and affordable purchase!

That’s about it for my first apartment room reveal!  I’m so glad to finally be letting you all into my new apartment – I hope you love it.  Comment below what your favorite thing about the living room is!  In a few weeks, I’ll be doing another room reveal… should I show you my bedroom or my office first?  Let me know!  Have a great week and I’ll see you back here next Tuesday!
