Good morning! I hope you all had a great weekend! I spent several days last week photographing various rooms on our first floor in our new home. I had intentions of sharing the living room, dining room and kitchen all in one post, but realized it would get rather long if I combined them all. So today I thought I’d share our classic coastal living room tour!

I’ve shared peeks at our living room in the past, but mostly just from one angle (a zoomed in version of the first picture below). A few months back I shared our design plans for the living room and you’ll see I stuck pretty closely to the plan – even down to the Frame TV art! Today I’m going to share a bunch of angles to help you visualize our floorplan a bit more and give some furniture details along the way. I’ll also include all the sources along the way, as well as a master list at the end of the post for easy reference.
Classic Coastal Living Room Tour
We spend a lot of time in the evenings in our living room. We were thrilled that the layout of the living room in our new home is very similar to the one in our last home in Florida and our Omaha home. For how we use the space, we both love to have our own sofas, and then use the chairs when we might not be watching a show for as long.

LIVING ROOM SOURCES: Ring Chandelier (look for less here) | Sofas (Grand size in Seaglass Performance Rustic Linen fabric) | Woven Swivel Chairs | Coffee Table | Wood & Marble Sideboards | Sisal & Wool Rug | Woven Tray (smaller look for less version) | Footed Vase | Frame TV Art | Round Side Tables | Marble & Brass Drink Tables | Woven Lamp (a reminder to always check the open box section which can have some crazy markdowns!) | Ceramic Lamps | Bronze Linen Pillows | Geometric Linen Pillows | Faux Coral Collection | Woven Roman Shades (Bonaire Flaxen) | Art Canvas I | Art Canvas II | Wall, Trim & Ceiling Paint Color: Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace | Fireplace Material: Venetian Plaster matched to paint color
Here’s a view of the space standing in the dining room (the entryway is off to my right). We loved our old sofas so much, we ordered them again, but in this fun blue linen, after we sold our prior home fully furnished! I’ve had a lot of questions about this particular fabric. We ordered the Performance Rustic Linen in the Seaglass color. I was a little nervous about the color from the little swatch I ordered, but once I saw a larger sample in the PB showroom, I was sold. Compared to our old sofas in the Performance EveryDay Linen in Oatmeal, this rustic linen is definitely softer and has a more lived-in feel. It definitely has a bit more give so I do find myself having to fluff the cushions more frequently (especially now that the cats love to sit on the back cushions and look outside). But it’s a quick 30 second process, so nothing too time intensive. I did go with the EveryDay Linen in Oatmeal again for my office and it stays much more taut, but the fabric is definitely a bit scratchier when you first get it before you break it in. I do think by switching from the three pillows on the back (which was the only thing offered at the time) and going to only two now, it also makes the pillow covers less taut, as well.
Now that we’re moving into fall, we really need to pick out a fireplace insert so it’s installed for the cooler months!

I kept the decor to a minimum, but had to bring back Henley’s favorite tray. She sleeps in this thing all the time and is quite obsessed. And this vase is such a great value! It looks just like some much more expensive versions I own!

One of my favorite recent additions to the space is this oversized abstract art from Lindsay Letters. The colors are stunning in person. They’re named Morning Mist and Waters Edge (the name of the paint color on our Omaha front door!) in the largest size with the white gallery frame. They are both massive, but with our 12′ ceilings, that’s what we needed to fill this large blank wall. We love them so much!

On each of the buffet tables, we have these ceramic lamps set on timers to come on around sunset. Then they each have a piece of coral from this collection. There’s another piece on the side table that doesn’t have a lamp.


While it’s nearly impossible for me to photograph the two spaces together, the large sliders in the living room look directly down onto the pool and out into the backyard. So, the white coral is visually less distracting from the view out from all of the windows! You can actually see one of the pool umbrellas out the window above the coral in the first picture above.

I clearly have a serious obsession with fan palms – especially when I can clip them so easily!

Here is the view from the corner by the fireplace looking into the dining room and kitchen. I have both of those spaces photographed, as well, so I’ll be sharing those with you shortly! We’re really loving these swivel chairs. They’re upholstered in one of the top-performing fabrics in my recent fabric tests!

Here’s a better view of the art and look at how the living room connects to the entryway. The rug just arrived for the entryway (and there is furniture on the wall you can’t see), so I’ll be able to share more on that space soon, as well!

And that wraps up the tour! If you missed them, I also recently shared our blue & white coastal bathroom and our full coastal carriage house tours! I’ll be back soon with even more spaces to share with you!
If you would like to follow along on more of my home decor, DIY, lifestyle, travel and other posts, I’d love to have you join me on any of the below channels:

Gorgeous! I love the brown and green pillows, they give just enough color to warm things up. The swivel chairs and the woven dining room hanging light, you couldn’t have matched them better! Stunning.
Thank you so much Carol!
Absolutely beautiful, Sarah! Your vision for your home is coming together so perfectly. I just want to add that I really appreciate the quality of your work on your blog. I look forward to reading your posts every week. Thank you!
Thank you so much Shelley! You made my day 🙂
Absolutely beautiful, very calming yet sophisticated.
Thank you Patricia!
I know this is going to sound crazy, but I have a similar layout in my “family room” and I’m curious about the practicality of real life vs design. When you’re each lying on your sofas at night watching tv, (which we absolutely do), do you pull up the drinks tables for your snacks or can you easily reach the coffee table? Sorry if that’s too personal.
No worries at all! When we’re laying down, we used those little marble/brass drink tables since they’re a lot more mobile (and they have adjustable heights so we can each select how we prefer ours). I actually use the larger round side tables most often when I’m sitting at that end of the couch since there’s more surface area. We honestly don’t put much on the coffee table (and that’s partially because Henley is always laying the front of that basket and we don’t want it knocked over). I hope that helps!
Thanks! I was hoping you would say that! I do the same. We only use the coffee table for apps when family comes over for dinner. It’s our version of gator tailgating. 😁
Haha! I love that!
