I thought it was about time for a Mid-Century Dining Room Update + Source List. I’ve been tweaking things in there for a few months now and I realized that some of the sources were out of date too. I got to thinking about the space and realized that it’s been about 8 months since I shared the reveal. That totally seems crazy!

So, not a lot has changed but there have been a few changes… all for the better I believe.

Today is the reveal of our Navy and Black Modern Eclectic Entryway. Seriously, it’s a pinch-me feeling over here because I can’t believe how far this space has come! Whenever I do room reveals, it’s funny because the reveal, now, is not what the room ends up looking like after another few months. The rooms tend to grow into themselves. Does that make sense at all? It seems like the reveal is “round one” in the space and even if it’s a fab round one (like this one is) it gets better and better over time. Maybe that’s just a weird thing that happens to me. Who knows. In any case, I’m totally smitten with this reveal but know that it’s bound to keep getting better and better.

If you haven’t been following along with this makeover for the One Room Challenge, make sure to play catch up!

 And, be sure to stop by Calling It Home to see all the other participants’ rooms!

Before we hop right into all the pretty pictures, let me remind you of how the space looked just a short six weeks ago!

I’m so thrilled to share what it looks like now! Ready to see our Navy and Black Eclectic Modern Entryway?!

I share the good, the bad and the ugly… I really do. BUT, I try not to bombard you all with “the ugly” all the time just because we all have our “ugly” spots in our homes and I’m sure you aren’t going to be inspired by all of my ugly spaces. But, when we are working on a project, you have to see the ugly before to really appreciate the after, right?! I’m so exited to share my DIY Closet Makeover.

It’s seriously a dream come true and, call me weird, but I just go in the space and stare now. Really, it’s so good.

Over the weekend, I was thinking about our living room. It’s not unusual for me to think about our spaces and how they are working for us or not working; or, what I would love to do to our spaces or what I could envision for a particular space. It’s not unusual at all, much to Luke’s dismay (actually, he doesn’t really care but I think he’s secretly glad that I talk about all of this with you more than I talk about it with him). I poked around on the blog and realized that it’s been months since I’ve shared our living room, so today I wanted to share our Ever-Changing Modern and Bright Living Room with you. It’s not a reveal. It’s nothing crazy different. This is just how we are living within the space at this present moment.

One of the last times I really posted about the living room, I posted about the evolution of the space (if you want to see the before and way before – check out that post). Early fall, I found my Mid-Century Chairs on Craigslist and shared those and how they fit into the space.

The Mid-Century chairs are flanking that little table by the windows.
