Magnolia Cottage: Updates in the Living Room
This post is sponsored by Walmart. All opinions are my own.
Remember last week, during my fall home tour, when I warned you that I was making a few changes (again) in our living room? Well, today is the day to show you what’s new, and I’m so excited about my latest finds!

I. Love. Them!! I had the hardest time deciding which color stripe to get since they also come in three other colors, two of which would also have worked in here, but ultimately I went with the ones that gave me heart eyes. The best news is that they are under $250 each with free shipping, so I was thrilled with the price, too.
