The Loft

The space in our loft was pretty much instantly decorated. We simply painted the walls and then took all of our furniture from the living room in our apt. and just put it upstairs in the loft. Easy as pie!

Bur first, some before shots:

And the after:

We started out painting the walls a bright yellow color to keep things nice and sunny feeling in the room since there is no overhead light. The major piece of furniture in this room is our couch. James bought it from a wholesale furniture store 2 yrs. ago when he first moved to Indy and pretty much didn't have ANY furniture. He also got the set of 3 tables (coffee and 2 end) off of someone on craigslist for less than $50.

Last yr. when we moved into our apartment we added on the brown recliner from Value city for more comfy seating and purchased the area rug using target gift cards we got at our wedding.


The three pictures hanging on the wall above the couch are 'wanted' signs my sister put together for our western themed rehearsal dinner, which I framed in simple black frames from Michael's.

The TV stand is also something James got on the cheap from Target when he first moved here. The metal stand holding DVDs was purchased from bed, bath, and beyond using wedding gift cards once again!

There are still a few simple things I want to eventually spiff up in this room. I am interested in replacing the pillows that are on the couch. They were included in the purchase price and I hate how the patterned side is a scratchy material plus I would like something with a little more color and a bit more fun!

I also want to get a small basket to store things in on the coffee table. We have multiple remotes and game controllers that are always thrown on the coffee table. A basket is an easy place to just toss everything and helps things look tidier. It's all about convenience here!
