This picture has absolutely nothing to do with my living room! But the flowers are so pretty I wanted to share! Yesterday a friend popped over to pick up a DVD we made of the 2010 Boy Scout Jamboree that we recorded off of BYU TV.
She brought these beautiful hydrangeas from her garden as a thank you. They make me so happy. It really is the small things in life that brings such joy!
Now, moving on to my living room...I finished painting it almost two weeks ago but have yet to post any pictures because it's not finished! I haven't hung new curtains (haven't even bought any yet!) or rehung pictures or completely decided what is coming back into the room. But I thought I should at least post pictures as to where I am at this moment in time. It is definitely a different look for me but I really am enjoying the simplicity and toned down-ness this change has brought. I'm trying to keep the spirit of the house that inspired me and to take it slow and make smart choices.
The view from the front door. DK likes the rug we have but this is where I want to put the infamous steer hide rug.
Edited fireplace mantle. Waaaaaaaay edited mantle!!
I love the subtle touch of my crane origami mobile.
I'm sewing new pillows. Here is one that is complete.
My flint wall that I still adore!
Still need to figure out curtains. Once I do I will be replacing the curtains on the slider so there is a cohesive look with all the windows.
Super pared down and simple entry area.
I'm slowly starting to put away some of my shells and summer decor...
...but this starfish and sea urchin have special memories attached to them.
An up close and personal look at my front door's new rug.
My mom found it at TJ Maxx for $4!!!! How I love a deal!
My poor little guy has caught a stomach bug or is just plain fed up with this disgusting heat wave and overly hot summer. Either way he has been hanging his head over the "throw up" bowl and I have put all thoughts of decorating aside while I nurse him back to health...and constantly wash my hands and all other surfaces he comes into contact with!!
