cabin progress: in the living room
aaand voilà! Here is how the curtains turned out in the space.

Also, to re-cap, here is what we have done so far in the living room:
1. Ripped out the walls, insulated, and drywalled
2. Trimmed out and painted the ceiling
3. Scraped up the old floor tiles and put in new wood laminate flooring
4. Cleaned up the fireplace and put in a new tiled hearth
5. Put in new patio doors and retrofitted the old screen doors to match
6. Put new window & door trim, base moulding, & crown moulding
7. Made and hung the curtains
8. Painted EVERYTHING
Still to do in the living room:
1. Reface the back wall of the fireplace.
2. Find a new spark guard and new air venty things for the fireplace
3. Find an occasional chair and more art
Phew! Almost done in the living room. You can also see a few more photos of the living room over on Design Sponge, and to see all of the progress on the cabin look here.

Hi there, lovely room. Just a question where is your sofa from and did you just throw a slipcover on top? I love it. So cozy!

Hi Crissy, Unfortunately I do not know where the sofa’s came from. They are left over from the previous owner. however, yes they are slipcovered. Crate and Barrel has a similar sofa. Hope that helps.

Hi, I love the room, using at inspiration for my sons nursery. Could I ask what fabric you used for your curtains and who makes it?
Thanks!

Hi Kimberly, I had that fabric custom printed but I know Fabrics.com has some black chevron options.

Sarah,
This is such a lovely place. I too would be interested to know where in Michigan and if you will be renting out the house for summer vacationers. We usually go to Union Pier area, but would be interested in your place. Thanks for the inspiration!
