As with all things I like to start...eventually life takes over and I tend to neglect them.
I haven't been here in a while so I thought I would come take a visit.
Since buying our new home I have been busy redoing, decorating, and moving furniture around so that the new house would make sense. I guess I can share with you what I have been up to. First off lets start with the living room.
When we first moved into our little bare bones house, we had a nice clean slate to start with. My mind went crazy about the endless options of decorating! In my mind I had a layout of how the living room would be arranged with the furniture I had available. Here are the before shots:
I had a red couch to work with and really loved the idea of a deep teal color to complement it. I originally wanted the couch along the wall in the picture above- but after some thought I decided against it- placing the television along that wall instead.
Here are some pics of us working hard on the painting...everyone pitched in, even our dog, Vegas.

| Husband takes a little break |
 |

And now begins the real fun...moving in. Ha. I was thinking about making up one of those "hidden pictures" games here...I still might...SO MUCH STUFF!!!
 |
| CAN YOU FIND THE TYPE WRITER? |
 |
| CAN YO FIND THE VEGAS? |
 |
| I don't know what you can find here |
So now the finished look...I have a love of quirky, colorful, interesting little groupings of stuff: books, trinkets, photos, etc. I really love the outcome- although to me everything is always a work in progress.

| The red couch. Pretty much everything was found at a thrift store- I love my aviary picture on the wall. |

| The bowl serves as the place my husband can put his keys and not lose them. |
 |
| Great big window- lots if natural light! |
 |
| Do you think I like color? |
 |
| Final product...unless??? The wheels are turning! |
Thanks for sticking around for a long photo post. More to come with other rooms in the house. Just some fun before and afters for you to enjoy and for me to record my progress!
