*This post is sponsored by Coupons.com. I received a Target gift card from Coupons.com for this post — the gift card helped me make my living room remodel happen. (I used the gift card towards a new accent chair!)
The living room in my home has always been a family-friendly space. For most of the 11 years we’ve lived in our home, the living room has been a play space and housed only a piano, two toy boxes and some toys. Now that my children are older, I’ve taken back the space and turned it into a bright and pretty sitting room!
My newly furnished living room — it’s no longer a playroom!
To celebrate my home’s beautiful new room, I am co-hosting a $200 Gift Card Giveaway, hosted by Coupons.com! Through the giveaway, Coupons.com will award the winner one(1) $200 gift card to Target, West Elm or Home Depot – winner’s choice! The giveaway is open to U.S. residents only.
To enter the giveaway, just follow the instructions in the Rafflecopter giveaway form below. Good luck!
Getting Organized for More Space
I can’t tell you how nice it’s been to have our front door open up into a beautiful new space instead of into a messy room filled with toys! I can now invite my neighbors in to stay and sit a while!
Two of the newest additions to my home’s living room are a beautiful accent chair and a cocktail ottoman, both from Target! You can see a list of where I got all the new items for my living room in my Sunny & Bright Living Room reveal .

To make room for my home’s beautiful new sofa, ottoman and accent chair, I had to find room/storage for the toy boxes and for all the extra toys that used to accumulate around the toy boxes. So luckily, my husband was nice enough to assemble a whole wall of shelves in our basement (thanks, honey!), on which we can place and organize all of our kids’ toys! The goal is to have everything neatly organized on the storage shelves in the basement, so the kids can easily find their belongings!
- Our new wall of shelves in the basement provides a lot of storage!
I have to admit that I have been using some of the high shelves in the basement for storage for Christmas and other seasonal decorations. (My kids can’t reach those shelves, anyway.)
The shelves are still a bit of a mess, but we are still working on organizing them! I am hoping to move more stuff that we have stored on the second level of our home (we have a wall of shelves there, too, in a loft area) to the basement. I am hoping that by neatly organizing and storing everything in our (thankfully) dry basement, we will have a much less cluttered living space upstairs!

Having shelves for basement storage makes all the difference in the world…so much easier to get things into at least a semblance of order! Great job!
