Decorating PB's Place - Living Room

~ I'm putting together a few mood boards in hopes of getting my friend PB to stop living like a college student and decorate his apartment. I've limited my search to stores he has locally. I'm trying to keep the mood boards simple so that he has plenty of room to grow and add his own touches if he chooses to. ~

The final room we're tackling for PB is his living room. The room is long and narrow, there is a half wall dividing the living and dining rooms and the wall opposite the entrance in taken up almost entirely by a fireplace and two tall narrow windows.

The bookcase is going on the half wall across from the sofa, it will also be used to hold a flat screen t.v. on the end near the fire place.

Speaking of the fireplace, it needs some accessories of its own -

Mirror - Pier 1
Grass Plant - Crate & Barrel

Decorating PB's Apartment

My good friend PB just turned 30. He is an awesome guy, he has a great job, he's got everything going for him. . . there's just one thing - his apartment screams "BOY!". . . I would say it looks like a frat house, but that would be mean to frat houses. I've offered to help him decorate, but he seems to be happy living like a college student and denying the fact that his apartment is girlfriend repellent.

I've taken it upon myself to go ahead and give him some options. I'm going to put together a mood board for each of his apartment's 3 main rooms and then turn it over to him.

His apartment has great bones. For a one bedroom, there is tons of space -

living room, dining room, bedroom

I made this quick mock-up of the apartment (above) so you can get idea with what we're working with.

Stay tuned for the first mood board later this week.
