A Favorite (Smaller) Living Room

I can't get this living room out of my mind.  It's a <span style="text-align: center;">beautiful mix of masculine and feminine, a neutral color palette with great texture and personality.  The gallery wall is interesting and, if you can pull off a white sofa, go for it!  I've got a little toddler eating and getting grubby on the couch so it's probably not happening here- although I have a friend who loves her white slipcovered sofas even with her own two little kids.  </span><br /><br /><div><br /><br /></div><br /><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtFwwbu6T6U89Nyc5JoECfKaON6726yKFoHpcqTgAZQ5G5e1p3OGrow9Oejn0yLzamqY6a7aFgOUOMcscssB90F89R0VRwRQfGTEB1KT_zQrH2JjGyejgLQg7PWlRLyyP1kVxS_8S6GOS0/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-04-03+at+9.03.19+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtFwwbu6T6U89Nyc5JoECfKaON6726yKFoHpcqTgAZQ5G5e1p3OGrow9Oejn0yLzamqY6a7aFgOUOMcscssB90F89R0VRwRQfGTEB1KT_zQrH2JjGyejgLQg7PWlRLyyP1kVxS_8S6GOS0/s640/Screen+Shot+2013-04-03+at+9.03.19+PM.png" width="564" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />I'm also crazy over the black-rimmed windows devoid of drapes- such great light.  And that convex mirror!  The tiniest hint of blush pink in the pillow, vase and book adds a girlie touch too. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyHVC9T0NET8wh9dp7D3qsRdA1K_l2Qx6Qa8IWvQ5ukOGej3fWi6AuEt6tY5crCSm-aaJ8j3r3YAGoGShJAczmhLrC-wzcLbafvmuhBkpFZ1NH1DcEK2MDaKIO7kBt4e7pG-bllnxL67Ew/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-04-03+at+9.11.37+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="420" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyHVC9T0NET8wh9dp7D3qsRdA1K_l2Qx6Qa8IWvQ5ukOGej3fWi6AuEt6tY5crCSm-aaJ8j3r3YAGoGShJAczmhLrC-wzcLbafvmuhBkpFZ1NH1DcEK2MDaKIO7kBt4e7pG-bllnxL67Ew/s640/Screen+Shot+2013-04-03+at+9.11.37+PM.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />This living room was designed and styled by Crystal Gentilello.  You can go <a href="http://crystalgentilello.com/interiors/">here</a> to see more of her work.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />I felt this room showcases how stylishly you can live in a smaller space.  It seems that the ceilings are rather tall, which definitely opens up the room.  </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">So tell me, are you living large or rockin' a smaller space? </span> </span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />If you follow me on Instagram (@honeywerehome), you saw me browsing <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/domino-small-spaces-spring-2013-cond-nast/1114922774">Domino</a>'s issue dedicated to small spaces.  It's full of pictures and practical storage solutions.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpg4fMT0BQGZ7iJ3QO-HVzOyixSgxGDFauNrdec7lu7FcAOtrtNK6CB58ssehfOw7H14LjvLD56Hx4xc0n_gpAf1GLj3L-ueUU6D132MNUDKgaQCgtBWh-aL8UfOs1cffq76AbYJ3H7l3S/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-04-08+at+9.58.58+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpg4fMT0BQGZ7iJ3QO-HVzOyixSgxGDFauNrdec7lu7FcAOtrtNK6CB58ssehfOw7H14LjvLD56Hx4xc0n_gpAf1GLj3L-ueUU6D132MNUDKgaQCgtBWh-aL8UfOs1cffq76AbYJ3H7l3S/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-04-08+at+9.58.58+PM.png" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />* * * * * </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><br /></div><br />

Grown Up Coffee Table

Hi friends!  Hope you had a great weekend!  After a major deep cleaning on Saturday, I was hanging out in the living room realizing that I never shared our "grown up" coffee table with you.  Like many of you with small children, we had the easy-to-clean, safe faux leather ottoman as our coffee table for years. <br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWkE_wKvJYF58NY3fTR6cstsNqjdEytCphSc9oudira-5NDv8atpAct3DiJSF-6kckxA5CoejDY4qs-vgXRMOgeNPIWhgoiIgVgIamR92w1aTVazgBNmarwoRAfDhMGdakJsqM7W5Q1mCF/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-02-17+at+8.50.58+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />It was from Overstock, fit our living room perfectly, but most importantly, was baby friendly.  I even put ugly rubber bumpers on the leg corners to be extra safe- yeah, first time mom:) </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />After a couple of years, I couldn't wait to get rid of it because it was just too bulky and boxy.  I tried to camouflage it by putting a decorative tray on top, but was waiting for the day when I felt it was "safe" to put a round, glass-top coffee table in the space.  </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />My dreamy coffee table was from <a href="http://www.ethanallen.com/product?productId=5152687&categoryId=8105">Ethan Allen</a>, but was pricy (of course it's on sale now), so I kept looking.  Also, it was 38 inches in diameter and 19 inches high, which I thought might be a little tight.  </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
