Bonus Room Makeover Week 4

Alright friends! I skipped last week’s updates because I really didn’t have any. I always feel like when it comes to the ORC, I end up doing 75% of the projects in the last two weeks and it’s looking like that right now! All of the DIY projects I have planned for this space are all on hold as I wait for product to come in. Everything that has come in so far are more finishing/styling items. So, not much progress has happened on the actual space itself.

So instead of showing you our completely bare bonus room, let’s look at all the furniture styled in our living room! ha!

Organic Modern Furniture!

Check out this neutral living room filled with a Organic Modern Furniture and tons of texture! Love the cognac sectional and natural look.

Ok, but let’s see the updates that I DO have for this space! Almost all of the furniture from Overstock has come in for the bonus room, I’m just waiting on a few accessories but otherwise the big items are here! Huge thanks to them for partnering with me on this space! Since our downstairs is still bare, we are styling them down here and actually using them until they are ready to move upstairs.

Cognac Leather Sectional

The latest item that came in is this gorgeous Pimlico Top Grain Leather Sectional with Chaise from Overstock. I am in LOVE with it! When it comes to ordering furniture online, you always take the risk of the color being different in pictures or the quality is less than expected, but this sofa exceeded my expectations.

I’m still playing around with styling, but I threw some things together to be able to show you the pieces today! I shared these Nikki Chu Aaltos Black/ Ivory Geometric Square Pouf , the Willow Beige Tufted Mid-century Modern Chairs and the Hatteras Drum Reclaimed Woodblock Barrel Coffee Table In my last update, but they are looking so good all together!

I have still done close no nothing in the actual bonus room. Ok, I put up the new Wall Sconces , but that’s it! However, I am confident that I will have a lot more updates for you next week!

Can I tell you something else? I am so thankful all of this furniture arrived while our actual living room is almost empty because it is helping me make final decisions on what I want to put in here! I have been struggling with the spacial layout and after having all of the bonus room furniture down here, I have actually changed my mind a bit! It’s all working out!

And this sweet pup is loving our new rug! He has been laying on it non stop :)

Current snap shot of our main family room! We will Current snap shot of our main family room! We will be starting phase 1 in here later this year and I wanted to capture it as it stands now. Almost everything in here was either brought from our Washington home 3 years ago or bought second hand! Piece by piece this room has become a cozy space for our family over the last 3 years. The new stairs are staying and will work into the new design, I love them so much.

It was tricky. But I’m glad we kept going because the look is everything we envisioned and exactly what my son wanted. I still have lots more to do in here, it’s not even close to being finished. But I’m sure loving the dramatic before and after so far. Linking all sources.

I’ve been looking for the perfect accent chairs I’ve been looking for the perfect accent chairs for our family room for years! Any time we have guests over, or our whole family wants to hang out together, it always feels like we could use a few more seats to spread out and get comfy. I have had my eye on these gorgeous Vail accent chairs from @denvermodern and they didn’t disappoint. The leather is soft and high quality, they are wide and comfortable and the brass accents are chef’s kiss. They are perfection.
