My decorating stint...

Here goes some more before/after pictures. I've found some great "junk" at goodwill latley and have just been painting my little heart out(spray painting that is)!! Things are starting to come together...that doesnt mean I'm near done though :) I've just rearranged (thanks to my moms help) tweaked and repainted mostly things I already had in my house. Im trying to change out the colors/style in my house which hasent been done for years. I love more of the greens, yellows, and blue's right now....especially green, and I think it shows..HA! Silly as it may sounds, I take my Pottery Barn magazines with me to goodwill and fabric stores to try to find similar things. I have to say we do have some pretty darn good ones here and I have been able to find some cool stuff that I have just painted and duplicated. LOVE IT!! I'm on a roll..watch out :)


LIVING ROOM BEFORE



LIVING ROOM AFTER




Painted mirror and candle sticks and found that cute lantern that was exactly like one in Pottery Barn for $60! Mine was $2.99!



These trays are so cute and popular when paired with some cute accessories. This tray was light wood and I painted it and put the hardware back on. Candle sticks gotta go though, back to goodwill :)




The whole wall, compliments of Goodwill. :)

Okay, seriously..you need to come redecorate my house! It all looks awesome! I love that green chest in your dining room! AH!! And I'm so jealous you have a red couch. I can't wait until that time in my life when I can put things on a table and not have it destroyed....

wow! You are so crafty. Dang, if only you lived closer so you could help me with my home. I'm all about green. Not sure when that started, but I look around my home and see green in every room - love it!
