a couple weeks ago i shared my words for 2013 – daring & established. i also talked about how PROJECT NEW HOME was going to help me with fulfilling both these words… i am daring to establish myself. ah.
i can get overwhelmed at times (my husband can attest to that) so i made a plan to go through our new house ONE room at a time. once i FINISH that room, i can move onto the next! it also gives me time to wait for my monthly allowance!
i just took down decorations and chose to not fill in the empty spaces so that i could start PROJECT NEW HOME. here is my lackluster living room:
BOX FOUR: new blanket (love that it is from bruce’s childhood but we can put it in our movie room). and that big space of a wall, i am thinking art wall!
first step… paint.
looks like date day will be spent at Home Depot!
do you have any ideas for this room? i always love suggestions!
Are you painting your mantel too? That could be fun 🙂
YES to stripes. YES to curtains. Pops of color.
You could do one large frame over the mantle or two medium sized ones. Maybe maps? To go with your pillows 🙂 Or you could go with a mirror…a round one maybe? Or you could find old window frames and put them up there. Ooooh and you could do candles/twinkle lights on your mantle.
Sorry, I'm stuck on the couch with nothing to do 😉
Whatever you do is going to look GREAT. And I can't wait until the next time I come see you to see it all in person 🙂 Miss you.
I just threw up in my mouth. Look at my old living room!!! YIKES!
Not to be creepy but I love old posts like this, where you really get to see the progress! Such a fun space to design!! 🙂
hahah! I love it! My husband saw this the other day and said "I can't believe we lived in a room that looked like that!" lol!
