Living Room Tour
Updated November 16, 2016
We have gone on a tour of our kitchen and pantry and now it is time to show you our living room. Our living room and kitchen are actually one open space, but they do have their own feel. We love the open concept design and wanted to have a big open space for entertaining.
Come on into our living room and we will show you around!
Front door is painted Tricorn black by Sherwin-Williams, Table is from Wayfair, Lamps are from Wayfair, Mirror is from World Market, Wire Basket from Wayfair, Olive Basket from Wayfair
When you walk in our front door, you walk right into the living room and kitchen area.
When we were designing the house I told our builder Tom, from The Fox Group, that I wanted shiplap in the staircase. He loved it and went for it…and then he continued the white shiplap throughout the entire living room. Best decision ever. We LOVE it. It is amazing what a little shiplap will do to a room. All of our walls and shiplap are Bright White by Sherwin-Williams.
We have built in cabinets on the south wall with a fireplace and television. I insisted on the fireplace and Josh insisted on the television. We are loving them both, compromise is a wonderful thing:)

Here is a look from the upstairs!
I looked for a rug for this space for a LONG time. When I heard that Loloi Rugs teamed up with Magnolia Home and Joanna Gaines, I knew I had to check out their rugs. You all know I am a huge Joanna fan, who isn’t, right? I immediately fell in love with the Kivi Ivory Quarry Rug. It is SO pretty and perfect for the living room space.

On the east side of the living room, we have a wall of Pella windows and doors that open up into our outdoor covered patio. We love being able to open up all of the windows to create an indoor and outdoor entertaining space.
Here is the view from the patio. We love opening up the doors for parties, BBQ’s, or just to let the boys play outside. We love the fresh air.
This is the view from the kitchen.
I knew we had a lot of built in cabinets, but I didn’t really realize it until I had to decorate them. Luckily, I had some friends help me. One of my friends, Leslie, even painted me two beautiful paintings to help fill the space. I love them!
To decorate, we used cookbooks, cutting boards, and other random things I already had and then we went shopping at World Market to fill in the gaps.

Thanks for taking a tour of our living room. We love cozying up to the fire, watching football, and snuggling with the boys. This room really makes our house feel like a home.

Hi! Your home is beautiful! How many sq feet is the first floor? Curious how much space is required to accommodate that type
Of layout.
You have a beautiful home. I am currently remodeling my family room and I keep coming back to your home for inspiration. Would you be comfortable sharing where you purchased your leather chairs and the color of leather you picked. Again, beautiful taste.
The chairs are linked in the post. They are from Room and Board.
I love your living room rug! I have been searching for one for a LONG time! This looks it might be a fit for me!!
Are you still happy with the quality and wear?
Yes, we still love it!
Can you please tell me where you got your circular metal/iron 12 light chandelier from in the living room? I’m redoing my living room and need to replace the chandelier and this is the style I’m wanting. I like this particular one better than some of the others I’ve seen on Pinterest!
The light is linked in the post!
Hi – I am absolutely in love with your home. Great ideas (two fridges in house, not in the garage, a water fountain!!) you’ve incorporated here!
I noticed that your stairway is open to up AND down. Up, I am sure are bedrooms. Curious what you’ve done w downstairs, especially since you have an open stairway. Any chance you’ll be sharing that space as well?
Thank you!
Thanks for the tour. Love your style!
Your home is absolutely amazing and very inspiring to me during our remodel. Do you happen to know the finish used on your concrete patio?
Gorgeous! what rug size did you get? Thanks!
An open fireplace in a white living room is not a really well thought out idea given that you want to use it for something except letting the dog sleep there. Otherwise very pretty!
This living room is amazing, it’s a little luxurious with a touch of simplicity and neutral colors..
I’m very interested in getting the same couches! How are they holding up? In the reviews, some people mentioned that the back cushions start to sag, and that the fabric pills. Have you noticed any of that? Also, are they easy to keep clean? I have 5 young children and need something that can be easily wiped down! Thank you so so much!
We are still loving the couches. And they are easy to clean. You can also buy the warranty where they will come clean your couches.
Hi there! After a few years what do you think of the functionality of the folding doors in the living room with little kids? We are building a new home and planning to put them in as well but I’m trying to ensure it’s functional for daily life with toddlers. Thanks for your input!
We still love them:)
Hello! We are building a house with a very similar layout and to say I’m obsessed with your house is an understatement. I would be so so grateful if you could answer a few questions I had about your home. How large is the windows/doors in the living room and how large is your covered deck attached to it. My biggest fear is losing natural light in the living space due to the covered porch. It doesn’t look like this happened with you guys. Also, how tall are your living room ceilings? Thank you oh so much!
Beautiful, thank you for posting. Helps me trying to design my living room. Can you please tell me if that rug is 8×10 or bigger?
It is a 12×15 but it comes in several sizes.
Hello! I understand you stained your floors in weathered oak. Did you do a different stain for your railing, shelves, stair treads, etc.? If so, can you please tell me what it is? You have a beautiful home! Thanks!
We did the same so they would match! Thanks!
Hello,
What are the dimensions of your living room?
I love it! And it’s so close to our layout
Thanks
Can you please please tell me what the dimensions of the living room is? We are building And finding a layout is a nightmare! I’m wondering how many square feet I need for that layout.
Hi Maria and Josh,
I just found your site- love it!
and your beautiful house- can you share what living room FLOORING you used?
My husband and I are just getting started with remodeling our 30 year old house and we could use your help!
How blessed you are with such a beautiful family – boys are sweethearts!
Thank you for sharing and God bless you,
Louise
The floors are white oak and the stain is weathered oak. Best of luck with your remodel!
Do you show the floor plan of your home- it’s very similar to what my husband and I are working on but I’m curious where the mud room/laundry are and if there’s an office? Absolutely Beautiful!!
We don’t have our plans posted, but you can see the full house tour here: https://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/category/our-home/. I do have an office and there is a tour of it. I hope that helps!
Your home is beautiful. Can you tell me the dimensions of the great room? I am designing our home and the size of your great room is exactly what I want.
Thank you
Hi Maria, can you tell me how big your great room is ? Beautiful home !!
Hi,
Your lounge room is beautiful.
I am wondering if your lounges are the same size or is one bigger?
Thanks
Melina
They are the same size. We chose two over doing a sectional.
Can I ask what size your living room is? We are in the process of doing a floorplan but I want to make sure my living room is big enough!
What size rug is this? Thanks!
