Living in the living room

We are still in the process of turning our living room into a LIVING ROOM but since our current furniture budget is a big fat 0 I'll have to resort to daydreaming.  My favorite daydreaming/window shopping site is HOUZZ.  When we actually get to furnish the living room, we actually want to LIVE in it.  With 3 kids that we claim on our taxes and a multitude of other hungry young mouths to feed, we NEED a room to house them all in were we don't have to worry about them breaking something.  A room where they can kick their stinky feet up and feel at home.  Because believe me, when you have a house-full of 16 year olds and some 10 year olds too, you LEARN a lot.  AND you realize buying a couple extra pizzas and a few 2 liters of Coke is a small price to pay for what you get back in return!  Here are some of my inspiration living rooms from HOUZZ.  The first room is the actual paint color we used.
