Living Room Makeover

We're slowly eliminating red from our living room. Here's the before:

And here is the current state:

Jason reinforced & painted the futon frame (it was drooping & bent), painted the coffee table & is planning to add doors to & paint the entertainment center espresso brown.

This will give our mis-matched furniture some semblance of togetherness...for a minimal cost. It's amazing what a few dozen cans of spray paint can do! I dyed the futon cover, recovered pillows, and sewed a futon skirt. I will most likely change the futon skirt to a more simple, plain brown & hang this living room valance above the futon instead:

Yes, this pillow was formerly a shirt. It's super soft & comfy--and much cuter as a pillow. Yay for donated clothing & recycling!

Hopefully we will soon slipcover the large red chair...anyone know of a cheap, yet good espresso brown slipcover option? I'm going to check amazon & Target, any other suggestions?

Jason plans to stain the beautiful wood toy box Jason's dad made us & I'll make a seat cushion we can strap onto the top so it will multi-task as extra seating & toy storage.

Here's to hoping we can finish before baby decides to come!
