inspiration for living room decor

one of the most exciting things about buying & moving into a new home (for me, at least) was the idea of getting to redecorate! we knew we would need to buy a few key pieces along the way.. especially considering this house has about 1000sqft more than our last.

for the first few months we had many an empty room. and it's been quite the process slowly getting each room decorated/furnished/etc.

first on our list was the downstairs. since this is the main entertaining space we wanted to make sure it was the first to be tackled. almost three months later and im still working at it. but i have been drawing tons of inspiration from some of my favorite bloggers.

such as this gorgeous space from the lovely Jen at City Farmhouse:
