Living Room Makeover

November 25, 2012 By Meegan 6 Comments

We moved into this condo 2 years ago.  I have worked and tried to make it a warm and cozy home for us.  Here are the steps we have taken.

Our empty pallet:

I began to paint some of our accessories, frame and mats in blue and green tones.  I also added pillows and window treatments.  I was getting there. But, my creative juices couldn’t stop.

I restyled my lamp shade then painted the bookshelf white.

Then my cute hubby hung our yummy fan.  Isn’t he an awesome hubby???  The rug is from Ross.  Yahoo!!         

I made a Book Page Wreath.  I sure love it!!  Then it was finally time to paint!!

Here is a view from the front door entry.  You can see my computer desk, and my branch tree.

For fun I added a small detail by painting the inside of the door.  It’s a surprise when you open the door.

 

I added Grandpa’s Croquet Box, and my new Cards Box.

After painting the walls and front door blue, I decided to add the same blue to the front of the book shelves.  Looking good!!

I really like the blue front of this now.  It makes the bookcase pop.
Oh!  Wow!!  I am in love with this room!!  There you have it!!  My living room makeover in a nut shell.
Since these pictures have been taken, I added my $10 Coffee Table.
I have a few more things I want to do in here. I would like make slipcovers for the sofa.  I will fill you in on that when I do 

Yay!!  I am almost done!!  Woo Hoo!!

I hope you enjoy and appreciate our new space as much as we do!!  Now it is time to decorate for Christmas !

 

Don’t forget:

See you tomorrow for The Monday Blues, and on Pinterest, Facebook, Hometalk, Google +, Stumble Upon, and now LinkedIn!!

 

Have a beautiful Sunday!!
