Living room face lift

Before we bought our home we lived in a 2300 sf townhouse. So moving into a 4500sf home was a bit of a shocker when the only furniture we had (besides beds and a kitchen table) fit perfectly in our tiny front room.

 Ever since we moved into this house this room bothered me.

I always had a million other projects to be done that I never got around to making this room mine. So I now finally did a few things to brighten this room up. 

 I only changed a few things but it was enough to make me truly love this room.
First I put up some silk drapes.

 

 Next I made some pillows cases and covered up the ugly brown and green pillows from before.

I love the chrysanthemum pillows. 

They were fairly easy to make and they really brighten up the room. 

Here is a link to the pattern for the mum pillows. 

Amy Butler designed them! 

I love fake flowers. 

Actually I love real ones but I hate that they die, so I only buy fake flowers. 

These are probably my favorite one, peonies!

 

There is my living room. Not much but definitely a start.

welcome

Hello and welcome to my decor blog. I am starting this blog so that I
1) get away from posting decor projects on my family blog and
2) have a place to post and share my projects.

I have had a lot of people ask me about little projects I have done here and there and thought this would be a great way to share what I have done. I am so excited about this new venture of mine and hope that I can keep it going and maybe inspire a few people along the way.
