Not sure if you'll be able to tell the difference in the paint here in the living room. The light from those windows was blinding, but here it is... I removed the slipcovers (which I plan on reverse engineering for new ones) and couldn't help but move the furniture (that is something I do all the time anyways, and my husband laughed because he was totally expecting it.). I was a little tired of the shabby chic look in there. What do you think?
Before...
After...
I got this quilt several months ago, and I didn't know what I was going to do with it. I think I like it here.
And some holiday pics just because I happen to like them...
I have to say...I love the before AND the after. Going to put the frame idea on my "to do" list.

OH, I love it! The before looked nice too. Isn't it fun how much you can change a room with paint and fabric?

Don't you just love a room re-org? I do!! Are slipcovers hard to make? I've got a sorry-looking loveseat that I'd love to make one for. Can you come over and show me how? :)
