Finished Living Room!!


 Well, it's finally done!  Our living room in our new home!




The beautiful brown wall is thanks to this wonderful group of people who came to help us get settled in. 

They also did a lot of other work!



Here's what it the room looked like before:



A big white blank slate....... yep, that's me standing there, checking it all out, my imagination running wild.



But no longer!



I spent hours looking for a rug that I liked.  You won't believe where I finally found this one- Walmart.com.  Yep, and it fits the room perfectly.  I couldn't be happier.




Here's a view from our hallway arches.  I just love those arches!    The curtains I made from some fabric I found for $1.50 a yard.  I actually had purchased the fabric a while ago, knowing that I wanted to do our living room someday in neutrals.  There are 5 windows right in a row-which I also love, because I love natural light- so there is a panel in between each window and at each end.  The windows carry through to the dining room---which still needs some work.




My exciting find from Garden Ridge.  Gives the room just a little "bling".



A view of one of the shelves. Here is a tutorial on how to make these glass hurricanes.
