Living Room

I finally feel that my home is arriving to a point in which I can rest for a while! Here are a few before and after pictures of the living room. 

Before, as the previous owners had it. 

When it was first a "catch all" room.. shortly after moving in.

First project was painting the fireplace. 

Recently, I received this coffee table..

Before I painted it.

After! It's actually not this "chocolate" color, the flash makes it look lighter than it is.

A better picture with more accurate color. Matches the fireplace!

 Cozy..ready for cooler weather.

The new addition to the house... my FAVORITE chair in the world. 

A few new pillows for the couch, solid print, but with textured material. 

Definitely filled up the big room.

Fabric for a project I had in mind...

These are random rectangular wood pieces that were used in the packaging of my bedroom furniture. I decided to keep them to use for something like this in the future.

These will eventually be hung to make them look more uniform. But I have been in a pattern kick, and I love putting different patterns together.

I'll keep you updated on what I decide to do further with my room. It's pretty much the only room that I have left  to do something with. Since I'm having trouble trying to figure out exactly what that will be, it will stay just as it is!

Guest Bedroom/Dresser

Just a quick post on a couple of projects I have been working on.

This is a picture of a dresser that was used by all of my siblings, and is now passed on to me. As you can see, it has survived a lot of use throughout the years. However, not in bad condition, at all!

Here it is pictured after painted and dressed with new hardware. Not too shabby, eh?

A peek at one wall of the guest room. Now the dresser pops against the white wall.

Short post--but more on this room to come.
