Neutral Living Room with a Boho Touch

Happy Monday my friends, it’s home tour week again with Marty from A Stroll Through Life. For the last home tour, I shared a different layout of our living room which I have kept since then. (You can also see my living room laid out 4 different ways)

I also shared the fact that I was looking for two lower, small-scaled chairs to face the sofa in our mostly neutral living room. And I recently found the perfect chairs which I want to share with you in today’s post. If you follow me on Instagram then you have seen the chairs already but I haven’t posted them on my blog yet. They give my living room a completely different look and I’m so happy with them and the fact that they are super affordable.

So welcome to everyone coming from Brooke’s of Nesting With Grace. I just adore Brooke’s style and home. She’s always such an inspiration, don’t you agree?

So let me introduce you to our new neutral living room chairs! They are EVERYTHING I have been looking for and I’m so glad that I returned all my other pieces of furniture I have tried in this room. You can see what I’m talking about in this post HERE.

A while back I fell in love with this chair HERE but the price was so out of my budget at about $900. And I needed two of them. So when I browsed the web and saw this chair HERE at Target at only $118 on sale, I knew I had hit the jackpot. That price is totally affordable and they look so so similar. Here is a side-by-side comparison. The cheaper versions is lacking the upholstery nails but I don’t care about that since I have enough of those on my other leather swivel chairs already:

I love the cane back of the chairs, the weathered and whitewashed wood, and the neutral fabric of the cushions. They fit right in and the backs aren’t too high because people sitting on the neutral sofa can still see the TV behind the chairs.

Willy agrees about the chairs and all cats are frequently found napping on them.

A while back I shared my first macrame piece with you in this post HERE. Since then I made a new piece that I hung behind the end table and it was inspired by one of the pieces I included in my post. I really love making macrame and it reminds me of my childhood. It’s such a relaxing and fun craft.

The other one is hanging on my kitchen hallway wall now as you can see below. You can also see that Maya is definitely interested in macrame as well and also my wide pant legs.

Here is the other side of the room. It all flows so well now. And I’m happy to say that I wouldn’t change a thing! It feels so good when you 100% love the place you dwell in.

Last week I shared my finished stairs with you (click HERE) which are right behind those chairs. Don’t they go well with the rest of the house now? I think o and we all love them.

I also recently shared our new bedroom look which fits right in with the rest of our house (click HERE to see the rest):

We switched things up a little in my daughter’s room too. She wanted me to take out the wool shag rug for the summer which I think was a great idea because she was starting to ruin the rug with her slime creations and I got sick of trying to keep it clean.

Having your feet on the bare cool wood for summer is also much better.

My daughter wanted to add a poster of her favorite show “Stranger Things” (HERE) which might not be the prettiest design decision but she loves it.

And I have a summer yard update for you as well. If you are new around here then you might not know about my cat enclosure (click HERE) and the fact that I recently extended it with a long tunnel (click HERE to see how to build your own). That tunnel didn’t lead to anything yet though. Last week I was able to build a little enclosure at the end of that tunnel that sits at the top of the hill under all the trees in our yard.

And here is a little peek at the little cage when the cats first got to run up there. I didn’t take photos along the way about how I built it because I didn’t really know what I wanted or how to build it. I didn’t have any plans I just went with the flow which probably isn’t the best idea.

It all worked out well though and I might draw up the plans on how I built it and write a post about it that way.

I planted a little ornamental grass inside the little cage because they love plants and the grass isn’t toxic to them and easy to maintain for us humans.

Here is little Willy mesmerized by the birds above him in the trees. I’m also glad he can’t kill all the birds that we also love so much.

Oh, and by the way, I have an awesome giveaway this week. Get there by clicking HERE!

So now hop on over to the gorgeous home of my friend Rhoda’s of Southern Hospitality to continue with today’s home tour lineup.

Check out more rooms in our home that I didn’t cover here today.

Tschüß,
