What was your favorite part of this living room makeover? 🌱

P.S. Wondering where anything I mentioned is from? I’ve linked everything up in the description box, so be sure to check there first! But if I missed anything, just comment below and I’ll try to get you a link! 🤍

[@abigailwoodall6633]

I love your style, thanks for sharing! I just bought a home so I needed some inspiration 🏡

[@NancyBayyoud]

Definitely the book shelf 😍

[@AshlynneEaton]

It’s linked in the description 😘

[@Gabrielle.Steele]

What color are your walls in the house?

[@AshlynneEaton]

The paint color is Chantilly Lace by Benjamin Moore 🤍

[@snorlund1]

I’d replace the coffee table with an ottoman. It would be softer for a toddler. You can always put a tray on the ottoman if you need a hard surface. 😊

[@ceciliadyer1385]

Change out the coffee table for an ottoman. Can accessorize ottoman with a tray to set decor and drinks. Tons of styles, shapes and storage options. Was tired of grandkids banging their heads and busting a lip on coffee table.

[@AshlynneEaton]

Love that idea!! 🤍🤍

[@kimberlyrepe6672]

As someone who has a permanent scar on my forehead from bumping into a coffee table as a toddler, I second this idea! 😅

[@peggymohr7899]

Love his paintings & need framing. Room looks lovely and inviting. Great job.

[@donnarakitzis2719]

Oh wow Christopher is a talented artist. Love the make over

[@roid6194]

Put a narrow long sofa table behind the couch or a narrow bookshelf. You can place drinks on it when you’re on the couch. Don’t get a coffee table, try to find two more ottomans just like the one you have next to the tall bookshelf. Bonus if they have removable tops so you can store toys and baby items.

[@oliviab4412]

before & after were BOTH beautiful but I feel like the new updates are so much more elevated, especially that bookshelf corner!!

[@AshlynneEaton]

Aww thank you so much!! I’m loving the bookshelf corner 🤍🤍

[@gabymestas4030]

Your living room is beautiful! Don’t forget to anchor the bookcase to the wall if you haven’t done so already. Your baby will soon be climbing or trying to climb everything and book cases can easily tip over

[@AshlynneEaton]

Planning on it 🤍🤍

[@erintannehill]

I’m obsessed with the updates! The rug and chairs have to be my favorite! We don’t have a coffee table currently, just a couple of side round tables to hold a drink and remote. I just love the space in front of the couch to be open so little ones can play on the rug easier.

[@karolhenderson8888]

I like the ottoman idea for a coffee table too And use a large tray for drinks and decor etc when baby is not around

[@snorlund1]

Love your new bookshelves! When your baby arrives, you could put wicker baskets in the bottom of the bookshelves and use them for storing toys. 😊

[@debraburgess2764]

Feel like a living room looks unfinished. I'd fix. Had round edges good for children. Lots of times my kids, grandkids used coffee table to play and if needed more floor space was small enough to move to side, which since yours small would work. Also attractive.

[@Realmikesambo]

Ashlynne, you are getting lovelier by the day during your exciting time of bringing a newborn into our world. Such an inspiration to stay active and creative to create a positive environment for your family. Stay healthy and beautiful.

[@jaime5262]

It’s beautiful. A lot of things will change when your little one arrives, but you’ll grow and evolve your home along with the baby. ❤

[@theasianjenn]

So lovely!! ❤

[@SHWF-411]

We got rid of our coffee table and love it! We have two small ottomans that can be easily moved around and also can be used for additional seating.

[@carlajoyswan]

Christopher painted those?!?! Amazing 😮😁

[@cos323]

Love the new space! With a little one on the way, I would recommend the tierd/stacked smaller coffee tables that can sit to the side of the coach and be brought out if needed when guests are over!

[@0LightArrow0]

Always liked your space before, but now you def. took it to the next level.

[@chillibird2511]

The colours blend so well. They bring more light and about your taste that sparks joy. Would you do a nursery makeover ❤

[@HelloLinMade]

Wow that looks amazing Ashlynne! Everything you picked out is beautiful, love the sofa and the book shelf, as well as the new flowers on the coffee table they are super pretty! Home decors are one of my favorite things to watch lol! 😊

[@AshlynneEaton]

Thank you so much!! 🥰🥰

[@kathyesargent9088]

Frame his paintings they are so special ❤️

[@rebekahschroeder7949]

Wow! What a lovely transformation! If I must only pick one thing, I’m going to have to choose the chairs! 😍

[@AshlynneEaton]

Right?? I’m OBSESSED with them 😍😍

[@brirose230]

I too am obsessed with how your place looks Ashlynne!! 😍 You have such an amazing eye for interior design - I love everything about it! I also love how you and Christopher are both so creative and such talented artists! With the coffee table I would just keep it until bub is crawling around, maybe then you could fix it and sell it? If you do get another coffee table I would definitely go for a round or oval one (no sharp edges!). And also, if you haven’t already, make sure the bookshelf is anchored to the wall. Also, you looked so stunning in that dress at the end - pregnancy looks so good on you 🫶🏼

[@s.sflower]

Love it great job!!!

[@catherine3340]

Your home looks absolutely beautiful Ashlynne 😊I love the new bright colour decor and how talented and gifted you are! Lots of blessings to your family🙏❤️

[@TigerG16]

I vote keep the coffee table bc the round edges will be nice for toddlers. I had two little ones, and I liked having a coffee table at the time bc they would always play on the table. And also run around it. Then if we did floor play, I just moved the table to a corner until evening when I put it back for my night routine :)

[@Katieeorr]

I love love love how it all came together! I can’t wait to come see it in person!!

[@tiffagirl4]

It turned out so nice! Love it! Beautiful colors! I would change the coffee table to another style and maybe to another color. I think the wood is a bit too red. If I would keep it I would have painted it and of course made it stabilized.

[@AshlynneEaton]

I think I’m with you on that! But with a baby on the way, I’m thinking an ottoman might be the way to go. No sharp corners for them to run into that way 🤍🤍

[@tiffagirl4]

@@AshlynneEaton yes round corners feels safe! 🥰

[@ARachelB]

Absolutely love it! It is so cozy and sophisticated. I love the unique touches of photos, art and thrifted finds ❤

[@jab89981]

I love the before and the after!

[@aimeerushton2736]

Looks absolutely stunning. I couldnt help but think how the art work will soon change to make way for pics of baby ❤

[@juliabernuy9283]

It looks beautiful 👏🏼 you did a great job in the design. It’s very cozy. Love it 😊

[@carlienvandernet7902]

I just absolutely love the new things in the room. It looks great 👍🏻.

[@jen.chandelle]

As a mom of three little ones, I personally don't think a coffee table is a good idea. Ours was always in the way, and even though it was round...my kiddos were constantly bumping into it and getting hurt. It's just not worth it in this season of life! But overall, your space looks great! Very homey and cozy 🙂

[@AshlynneEaton]

Haha thank you for the input! Maybe we’ll just keep the current one until our little guys starts crawling and then replace it with an ottoman or something 🤍🤍

[@jen.chandelle]

@@AshlynneEaton that's a great idea! 🙂

[@ronnie-lynn]

I have an ottoman. It’s very soft basically the same as the sofa. I feel it would be kid friendly alternative. But I don’t have children. ** Just saw Ashley’s comment now. 😂

[@Perfectpeace19]

That's what we did we got a square tuffed Ottoman with chrome legs

[@kristinotto102]

Yep I have 4 kids and we’ve never had a coffee table. Not even an ottoman because my kids are huge climbers 😅

[@carleykatherine]

the transformation is truly stunning!!!!

[@annakarlsson2152]

Im always on a good mood after watching your videos ❤ best wishes for your little family❤

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning Ashlynne happy Thursday morning and I just wanted to say that your room set looks amazing I'm proud of you

[@AshlynneEaton]

Thank you!!

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

@@AshlynneEaton your welcome sending you hugs ❤️ 🤗

[@margaretwright4066]

artistic and elevated! Nice job. As far as the coffee table goes, corners can be dangerous for toddling babies. Would you recommend oval or circle or a long ottoman. Mama of four 💙

[@lorikegley3327]

Gorgeous! Love your choices & colors!

[@trinaolson7131]

such a gorgeous next iteration of this room!

[@rochellet7303]

What a beautiful space (before AND after). You did a great job. I'm wondering if that bookcase would work if it were centered on the wall? Also, I think I need those coffee table stems. I passed them up at Hobby Lobby, and NOW I love them! And that rug... and those chairs... and and and!😍

[@joannafoster3423]

As a mom of 7, coffee tables were the #1 culprit of forehead goose eggs. End tables between furniture pieces work nicer to keep walkways clear for wobbly little feet. While not as esthetically pleasing, anything that makes mom life a bit easier is appreciated. And this time goes quickly.

[@kitw76]

Love the lamp!

[@Gabrielle.Steele]

Love it! I love the bookcase you found! This is like the style that I want for our living room but it’s so difficult to decorate because it’s so long and narrow. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@AshlynneEaton]

Thank you!! Haha I get that! Our old living room was like that and it’s a challenge for sure!! 🤍

[@NoMysogny]

You have a great taste in decorations ❤

[@AshlynneEaton]

Aww thank you 🤍🤍

[@_maeva_]

I love the result !!! ✨️🧸

[@debbiearellano8339]

Beautiful living room

[@elizabethjones8806]

Your decorating aesthetic is beautiful and so inspiring! 💕

[@AshlynneEaton]

Aww thank you so much!! 🤍

[@tinamoore6352]

It looks wonderful! I would get a black coffee table that would tie in with the bookcase as well as be safe for the baby. My only other recommendation is replace some of the framed pics with other kinds of decor so it is not all pics in frames.

[@AlishaWhitcomb]

Love the new look!

[@heatherlucero2530]

As a mommy, I’d go with either an ottoman with storage, or an long oval table

[@bonessam9618]

I'd totally get rid of the coffee table. Get a matching ottoman. You are brave going with a light color couch and rug with a little one coming. 😊 I like the bookshelf. Very nice, Ashlynne!

[@AshlynneEaton]

Haha well the rug has so much color and pattern, integrated in it, that I am pretty hopeful about it, hiding any stains 😅 And the couch covers are all washable (and you can buy them individually if they need to be replaced). So I was trying to think ahead at least a bit 🤍

[@bonessam9618]

@AshlynneEaton I actually really like that rug. It's awesome that you can wash the couch covers and even buy new ones. 😀

[@michellebenavides7808]

So beautiful, I like it so much

[@ingridlewis4430]

I love the transformation, it looks great. COuld you please let me know where is your old rug from?

[@thaimimarcano5451]

Ashlynne this is beautiful, I believe a tall plant would look so much better beside the bookcase instead of the ottoman

[@AshlynneEaton]

I LOVE that idea, but unfortunately that corner really doesn’t get much natural light, so most bigger plants just wouldn’t survive

[@kathyesargent9088]

Replace coffee table with an ottoman with storage for toys. Don’t be afraid to cover the sofa with a blanket or quilt and remove when company comes❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@victoriaadams2171]

Looks great. 😊

[@yvetteflores3307]

Beautiful!

[@chrisoulalakkas7935]

Life's brevity compels action. Travel, indulge, relish. Seize the moment, for it's fleeting

[@karolhenderson8888]

Sometimes taking out the glass of frames makes landscapes look a lot better No glare Just a thought and some may want to give it a try

[@susanamelo]

Hi. Keep the coffee table: it has round edges - safe for children. One thing I've learned with my children is they grow up fast: keep what you love, because soon you can reintroduce the "unsafe" itens.

[@jackiewilson925]

I am so glad I came across your channel.i love your personality and yoyr decor style is very similar to mine so I had to subscribe, I look forward to seeing more of your videos.👍

[@cherylbabcock4531]

Looks great❣️

[@paty2216]

Adorable😊😊😊

[@NancyBayyoud]

Can't wait to watch! I've been waiting for you to upload ❤😍

[@AshlynneEaton]

Yay!! Yeah this one took a bit longer to film/edit than I anticipated 😅🤍

[@NancyBayyoud]

@@AshlynneEaton You've put such great effort in this video!! ♥️ I hope you have a productive nesting period before baby comes 😍

[@oktobersodyssey]

Love it!! Buuuut.... white sofa... baby-toddler.... 🤔 Can prove to be quite challenging 🍀 Spit up, juice cups, dirty hands, accidents, etc...

[@SHWF-411]

It all looks amazing! Cut off the tags on the pillows! 😊

[@reneelouisesala1397]

Our toddler is fine with a coffee table, its a play table. (But we can't have anything remotely like a stool) We'd never get rid of ours as my grandfather and grandmother both made it ❤

[@chillibird2511]

I think fixing the table would be an idea. It gives a stable table. whilst taking the time to find the perfect table instead of rushing to get the table ❤

[@kathyesargent9088]

Put a lighter colored plant in the head statue. I love it all. Our little youtuber is all grown up❤️❤️❤️🫶🏻

[@eddiemartinez7555]

Awesome Ashlynne 😊😅😅🎉🎉😂❤❤

[@margaretwright4066]

Oval table. Very good baby rounded edges.

[@kamhana8966]

Beautiful! Where is the checkered blanket from please :)

[@tiffanytate5920]

It’s beautiful! What do you use to hang your pictures? I’m looking for something that doesn’t make holes in the walls.

[@AshlynneEaton]

Mine are hung up with command strips!!

[@Perfectpeace19]

My house was in shambles first year my baby was born. She climbed the bookcases i had to get rid of everything. She is 4 and still jumps off the couch onto the Ottoman lol she is a rough one 😂

[@isawthesign4421]

Where did your checkered blanket come from? I'm obsessed

[@AshlynneEaton]

Found it at Marshall’s 🤍

[@gillianhill4757]

Your room is gorgeous but you need to take it easy girl! Xo

[@snorlund1]

By the way, I believe those are Chinese Lanterns styled on the coffee table.

[@nadineboudreaux7945]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@purpleboots3597]

What system to you use to hang your prints? I could hear something clicking(?) when you were rehanging. Are they just command strips?

[@AshlynneEaton]

Haha yes!! I use command strips

[@adrianaricalde2905]

Fix the coffee table. It is beautiful.

[@91golfergirl]

What is the song playing at 25:09

[@godisgood2919]

Could you link the National Parks book?

[@doravalencia2214]

I'm not big on coffee tables with my kid. I have a soft ottoman, with storage for things I want to hide (diaper caddy, now extra undies and socks) if I want to set some adult things on it I add a tray..

[@AshlynneEaton]

Really like the ottoman idea!!

[@wowyummyyy]

L I K E 👍👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿 💯💥💯💥💯 😍😍😍😍😍

[@josi3766]

Coffee tables are not a good idea with babies or toddlers. Somehow, they tend to be a hazard for them. I removed mine. Used a side table instead for couch.

[@cocolinabt]

White couch with a little one coming... Good luck with that 😅 I mean, don't get me wrong. It looks beautiful but kids wipe their fingers and faces everywhere

[@AshlynneEaton]

Haha that’s why I intentionally picked one with washable covers (that I can individually replace if needed). But I already tested it out by accidentally spilling my coffee all over one of the cover and you’d never know. 😅

[@cocolinabt]

@@AshlynneEaton You gave it a good practise run then 😆

[@rockstar2519]

I think you should fix the coffee table and sell or donate it. Coffee tables can be costly and id imgine there are a lot of people who cannot afford new nice ones.

[@madlenox]

Is it ok to carry so heavy items while heavily pregnant ? I don’t know, I’m curious

[@AshlynneEaton]

Anything I was concerned about the weight of, I got Christopher to help with. But I have been working out throughout pregnancy and the things I lifted all felt safe and within a comfortable range for me 🤍🤍

[@mckiestephen4145]

First off, I like the new rug and bookcase. But overall, I preferred the before look. I did find it difficult to watch the video coz you talked a little too much... 50% less talking and I'd have preferred it. Sorry, just an honest opinion 🤷‍♂️

[@suzieq390]

Beautiful taste in furniture. I feel way too many pictures here and I’m overwhelmed. Hopefully you’re not. You were such a great minimalist before now.

[@mjadler2096]

I don't care how washable the sofa covers are. I give the sofa a year 😂 my child peed, vomited and pooped on ours (never mind the food spills) and now that he's 4 we finally bought a new one as the old one was wrecked. Ditto, rug. I now have a grey sofa and a green rug. The calm decor will soon be destroyed by bright and noisy kids toys anyway!

[@AshlynneEaton]

Hehe I may already be planning on replacing the covers once my baby reaches a “safe” age. Fortunately, you can buy a completely new cover set for the couch at a fairly affordable price!

[@JennytheHamster]

Why are you lifting heavy stuff and those big chairs while pregnant?

[@liquidgoldpictures]

PLEASE DON´T CARRY HEAVY OBJECTS WHEN PREGNANT!!!! "It's best to avoid carrying heavy objects when you're pregnant (CDC 2023, NHS Health at Work nd, NHS JPAGET 2022)."

[@suelayman1371]

So fun to see your husband helping and having fun, room is beautiful!

[@AshlynneEaton]

Thank you so much!! 🥰🥰

[@belliwatching]

it's so fun to see how other people decorate! Personally, I love bright colours, wallpaper and strong patterns, but I always find that a cohesive interior has a calming and welcoming effect whether it suits my taste or not. This little corner makes you want to lie down on the couch under a blanket and watch a good movie, or sit with a cup of tea and a couple of friends!

[@AshlynneEaton]

Yes yes and yes! 🤍🤍 That’s exactly how I envision using the space 🥰

[@amyli092]

That lamp, bookshelf and ottoman honestly made a HUGE difference in filling up the space! You have such great taste in style, Ashlynne! I love how this turned out 😊❤❤

[@theresawhitehouse]

Speaking from experience...with a crawling/walking babe coming soon...don't buy another coffee table...maybe just some soft poofs, or at least nothing wood. We didn't have a coffee table for years after our children were "on the move," which gave us much more play space and less boo-boos. : )

[@AshlynneEaton]

Great advice, thank you!! 🤍🤍

[@lanasin1267]

Beautiful! Very tasteful! Just one piece of advice: with a little one on the way, you will have to child proof your house, so that bookcase must be anchored to the wall!!

[@AshlynneEaton]

Already in the plans 🤍 It comes with an anchoring kits and Christopher is going to do that for me

[@heathero2l]

i was wondering about the floor lamp as well

[@samanthaskeoch3519]

I loved how your Living room looked before, however I absolutely love what you have done to it now. I adore the colours and textures ❤❤
