One Room Challenge :: Modern Farmhouse Living Room

I've been dragging my heels on finishing our living room for SO long, its almost embarrassing. It doesn't need a major overhaul but a refresh with this thing called styling will go a long way considering how much time we spend in this room! So I thought what better time than the One Room Challenge, where I actually have to meet a deadline in 6 weeks?!  

If you're hearing from Calling it Home, welcome! I hope you stick around!

 So here are the before photos....

Not terrible by any means but it just doesn't look finished. Here are a few of the big things I think this space needs:

- Our ceiling light doesn't work so that needs to be addressed or replaced

- Accent pillows. Lots of them

- Some kind of greenery. I have a black thumb AND a toddler so I'm totally going with a faux plant in here

- An updated gallery wall with a mix of personal photos and fine art 

- Replace the rug that somehow looks white in this photo but its actually super gross and worn out after having a dog, toddler, and husband trample on it for 2 years 

- One accent chair or two? Or just a different style?

- Floor lamp to hold us over when the ceiling light stops working

- The whole thing needs a bit of styling

 

I love to add hints of the farmhouse style but I really like it to be more of a clean and modern farmhouse look mixed with classic furniture.

Sofa. Coffee Table (DIY here, or similar). Pouf. Basket. Key Art Print. Paris Art Print. 

Faux Fiddle Leaf Fig (really want this one, or maybe a shorter version). Accent Chair.

Floor Lamp. Throw Blanket (similar). 

So there you have it! Any thoughts for mixing classic with modern farmhouse? I don't want to go too over the top with farmhouse but I also want it to be fun and relaxed!
