In Case You Missed It: Nicole's Living Room Update

There's nothing like seeing a living room updated to accommodate another life - in Nicole's case, her preparations for the baby. Not only does the right choice of furniture make the space look absolutely gorgeous, but the most importantly, it completely integrates the technology into the backdrop, making the seemingly coldest piece in the room feel almost as vibrant as the space around it.

A smart choice of choosing a white bezel on the LCD television keeps it from being a distraction in the room, especially when the focus is the child - not entertainment.

A comfortable rocker and seating area for easy viewing of both the kiddo and Oprah.

We also love the idea of using ample lighting on both sides of the couch balance out the electronics in the room. That, paired with natural light during the daytime, makes a space feel warm and welcoming no matter what time of day it is.

Be sure to check out her blog for more photos.

I am in looove with this!!! It's so cozy looking, I love the tv stand too, I've been trying to find one that doesn't give off the "cold" vibe, wonder where she got it from....

I love the media stand too, and her blog says it's from West Elm, but as far as I can tell they don't sell it anymore. Tragic! They sell a "Modern Storage console" which is a similar style, but much longer and doesn't have the top open shelf for cable box/DVD player/etc. Please bring it back, West Elm!
