It’s time to get up close and personal with our living room!
Let’s back up a sec to make this as dramatic as possible, k? Remember the before shots???
First came the get down and dirty work, which I shared with you here. But then came the fun stuff… The decorating! I’ve tried to list where everything is from, and you’ll notice that not only am I a crazy Craigslist junkie (don’t judge) but that I don’t believe that decor needs to be expensive. There are incredible finds at Target, TJMaxx, Flea Markets, etc… You just gotta be patient and open minded!
Disclaimer: I apologize but picture taking is not one of my best skill sets. Anyone wanna come over and take some blog pics for me? I’ll bake you cookies and get you drunk off wine! I’m not kidding!

I think that just about covers it. Knowing me, I will redecorate again in 2 months so don’t get too used to it!

It’s hard to believe that’s the same room. You did a great job, and in no time at all! I love that coffee table =)
Holy crap, what a difference!! I love your new set up. It is so warm and inviting!
I love your living room! It’s so warm and cozy and it’s so special how most of your accessories were gifts or have special meaning to you.
Thanks SO much you guys!!!
I used Gentle Rain on my walls too…and I’m a total Craigslist junkie, so I’d never judge!
