over the weekend i rearranged my living room. Gary even put the TV up off the floor for me :-) it only took 5.5 years to get someone to help me lift it but it's finally up there! yay!!! now i need some decorations! i have a very good idea of what i want but no idea where to get it & no money to get it with :-( so now it's time to get creative ;-) i went through my storage closet & found some decorations i had packed up that don't really match but with some spray paint i think i can make them work. i have a large multi colored vase that is very ugly, nice shape but very ugly colors! lol! it was something my mom had bought when she went through a "southwest" decor phase, i think i want to paint it a shinny solid color. i also have a set of nesting box shelves that are a light pine color that i can use if i spray paint them. i am thinking silver would be good since i have silver legs on my couch & love seat, & i have silver table lamps. my end tables, coffee table & "other" table are a darker, antique map covered wood with darker almost rusty colored legs. so right now i have a mismatched mess! lol! i like the idea of having mixed colored metals in there since you can see my kitchen very clearly from my living room & i have a silver glass top table with gold accents & the bar chairs that match it sit in my living room at my bar. so unless i want to go crazy with paint & "fix" everything i think it would be best to embrace the mixed metal look & run with it! so, i am thinking about spraying that vase & those shelves silver. i have several silver frames & i have a few things that would match that rusty color on those tables too! i am on the hunt for some big metal flowers to hang over this table... & i want to set some stuff on it so it doesn't look so lonely :-(
i love these flowers!!!
some after pics
^^ i would LOVE to have some curtains & matching throw pillows! & a matching blanket would be nice too! i will make those things whenever i find a fabric that will match & is animal proof! the pillows that can with the couches are all picked up from little paws & nails being too ruff (hehe)
^^ i have to tuck the cable in but for now its like this so i can see how the kitties do with it. i want to hang those box shelves on this wall, after i paint them of course! ^^
^this lamp goes on that other end table, i just moved it for now because the kitties were messing with the cord :/ i want a shorter lamp to go up there or maybe some other sort of decorations... still trying to decide but when i see it i will know!
^^ i am happy with the room from this view! well, aside from the empty candle stick holders & no curtains.now i want to paint my foyer!
^^ this is where the table in my living room was....^^^
^^^i switched it out for another table i have that matches my kitchen furniture^^^ like i said, i want to paint my foyer but i'm not really sure what color green i want to go with. i know it's gonna be green & i know i want to put something on the walls like these little stickers i found @ http://www.etsy.com/shop/urbanwalls since i have judges paneling & i don't want to remove it, i will probably go with something like this...
i LOVE these full wall stickers too but the judges paneling fucks that up for me... maybe one of these would work some place else though. i love owls & birds :)
