You know what's nice sometimes? Finding everything you need in one place. In this series we're going to create thoughtfully curated rooms that reflect the styles you find on this site, but each time we're going to try to stick to just one store. Why? So if you really want to do a full room makeover, you'll hopefully receive all items around the same time, and even better, qualify for free shipping. Plus, returns will be easier.
This time around we're going to focus on my favorite room of the house, the living room, and we're shopping at Home Depot. While walking into a Home Depot might not give the impression that you can create an aesthetically pleasing room, online they have all the goods you could want: furniture, textiles, decor, you name it. Away we go!
The Coffee Table: Carson Forge Coffee Oak Extendable Coffee Table - $129.78. My dudes, it doubles as a desk! Double rainbow ain't got nothin' on this. You know how sometimes you just want to turn on a game, but have it going quietly in the background while you knock something out on your computer? This is perfect for that moment. WARNING with this one though, I guess it's a beast to assemble. So plan to put on some good jams, maybe crack open a beer, and get irritated for a while before you accomplish what you set out to do.
The End Table: Bella Glass Antique Bronze End Table - $109. A simple end table that can either go on one end of the couch, or next to the chair. If you're into matching furniture, there is an end table that matches the coffee table above. Sadly, it does not have an extendable top... BUT IT HAS A FREAKIN' PULL OUT TRAY! It's odd, the things that excite me as an adult.
The Lamp & Shade: Oil Rubbed Bronze Double Orb Accent Lamp Base - $21.97 and Gray Round Table Lamp Shade - $23.97. In a living space, do not depend on overhead lighting. It just doesn't create good ambiance. Yes, sometimes it's necessary to use if you need to read fine print, or you drop something small, but for the love of all that is good in this world, get a couple lamps and use them. Also, low lamp light creates an atmosphere in the evening that allows your brain to get the signal that yes, indeed, it's time to start shutting down.
The Wall Shelf: Urban Trends Metal Wall Shelf - $69.88. An easy way to add a quick decorative focal point to a room. Just add some favorite knickknacks, a few books, maybe a plant, and viola! If circles aren't your thing, try something more geometric.
