Living Room Makeover

By 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!!

I”ve Got The Monday Blues

By 14 Comments

It’s Monday!!  How was your weekend??  We were busy hosting an Open House for our son and his lovely bride.  We had amazing help, wonderful people visiting, and delicious food!!  I can’t wait to show you the pictures!!  But for now it’s time for “The Monday Blues“…

 

First off, This is from Sowdering about in Seattle:

Randi refreshed this dresser for her kids.  Don’t you just love this deep blue with the black drawers??  She also hand painted each knob.    So creative and talented!!  Thanks for sharing Randi!!  I look forward to having more blues from you very soon!!

Now for my own “Monday Blues“:

I've Got The Monday BluesI literally found this by our dumpster on a Saturday afternoon.  I was SO excited!! My Hubby was at work, so I called my neighbor, and he helped me haul it up upstairs to our place!  Woo!!  She was basically a frame of a dresser.  Not even a dresser!!

I knew I wanted to clean her up, fix her up, and use her for the wedding festivities.

I decided to prime her and then think about a color and style for her.

So what do you think?  From dumpster to wedding... Pretty good, huh??  I also added my book page garland for some texture.

I dry brushed BHG Teal Lake to add to the colors of the wedding.  I have used this same color in other places in our home as well.   All she needed was a little paint and some love.

Pin It

She looked do pretty holding the drinks for the open house this past weekend!!

Not too bad for a freebie, huh??  I am excited to share “My Monday Blues” with you every week!  I hope you will be excited to share your blues with me as well.

Have a Blue Monday as you are getting ready for Thanksgiving and the Holiday Season!!

I will be seeing you on  Pinterest, Facebook, Hometalk, Google +, and Stumble Upon.
