  1. I love ALL of these ideas! What cozy living rooms with perfect coffee tables! I love options 1 & 3- they are so SUNNY! Great ideas! I can’t wait to see more of the love your space challenge!

    1. Thanks Jenn! I am so glad you liked them. There will be challenges all month, I would love to hear about any that you try!! ๐Ÿ˜‰

      1. Yes it is gorgeous! ๐Ÿ™‚ Oh! I posted the chosen ingredients for my Chopped inspired cooking challenge ๐Ÿ™‚

  2. Great ideas! We opted not to have a coffee table in our family room since my kiddos and I love to just sprawl out on the floor, but these are great tips for the table in our entry way. Thanks for sharing!

    1. Awesome, I am so glad you were able to use the tips for your entry way! I would love it if you posted a pic on Up to Date’s FB page so I can see it. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  3. This is something that needed to be done soon. Our living room is in dire need of an update. Thanks for the challenge to get me just a tad more motivated.

    P.S. I love your gallery wall.

    1. Thank you Aubrey, I think I needed that challenge to motivate me too! Now, I have tons of ideas for new projects. lol

  4. I love the white trays and the white frames on the wall. I’m gonna check out my local Goodwill for a view vintage trays. I’m thinking I want to do silver because a lot of my frames have some type of embellishment on them. Gonna play with the ideas a little bit…

  5. I love these ideas! It’s on the list of my ideal living room to have a beautiful coffee table. Unfortunately right now I have a crazy rambunctious 4 year old boy, and a pretty much walking, curious 1 year old girl so I’m lucky to even have a coffee table! lol. We ended up taking it out of our living room and putting it in the toy room as the “art table”…..

    1. When my kids were that age I had baskets of toys under the coffee table and kid books on top. But my youngest is four and she picks up items off of the coffee table now and then but knows it’s off limits and it helps that the kids really only read books in the living room. (We have a den downstairs.) Someday soon….. You can always decorated it with non-breakable items. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  6. I just found your website and I love it!! So sweet and simple and beautiful! So excited to get started even though I’m a little late to the party. I’ve been doing my own “First 100 Days” which is to purge my house of anything I do NOT want – to get everything out that I don’t want in and organize as much along the way as I can . But my second 100 days is then to go back through and organize everything and make each room it’s own update – like the things you suggest – put something on the wall, move a piece of furniture, decorate a table. I work 4 days a week outside of the home so I use my Fridays and weekends when I can to work on my goals. We are empty nesters so these projects have been my saving grace over the last several years! ha. Thank you again for the great ideas!

    1. So nice to meet you Deanna and I’m so glad you found my site. The 100 days challenge sounds fantastic and I love that you are going back to refresh the space next!
