Decorating projects


Well, it's that time again! Time for another decorating update. It's been so fun to work on furnishing and decorating our home, one little bit at a time. Here is the latest:


The living room, which has been in progress for a long time. We still need curtains, another picture on the wall, and maybe another thing or two, but we've made some huge progress.


Love our new couch!




I had the hardest time finding armless chairs I loved. Thank goodness for online shopping!





It's tough to see, but these branches have little LED lights that you can turn on.



And I'm lovin' these tall lamps that are unique




Let the painting begin! We got a little crazy and painted furniture in three rooms.

To begin, meet our new guest room. Furniture purchased off of craigslist for a screaming deal, needing a little bit of white paint to perk up a bit. Comforter also purchased on 80% off clearance. (Love a good deal!)




We are open! Come visit us!



Yes, we still need to find new pulls that fit onto these drawers






And we're finally making progress on the girls' room. We found these fun comforters at Target last year, and I'm just now getting around to paining the furniture to match. It used to be a speckled grey, dating back to when I was a teenager, and before that who knows what color it was. This furniture is probably older than I am! But it looks great in these new colors.







Bulletin board is ready for some art work. Maybe we'll actually get some pictures hung up now! 



Now on to the boys' room. Here are my guys helping out with removing the handles....




And here are the finished drawers, painted to match their comforters






And finally, we got a great big shaggy rug to go down on our family room floor. It is very comfy! Here are Dylan and Oreo enjoying it.



Love owning our own home!

You have made so many nice changes since moving in. It looks so lovely and welcoming!! I like your color choices, and the stripe detail you did on the boy's drawers.

So pretty! I love your style! I might steal your sofa and chairs.
