Living Room Redecorated; Guest

written by:Cassity Kmetzsch

Ann Marie From White House, Black Shutters  Just did a bit of redecorating in her living room and I think it looks lovely now.  I love the old pieces, from the window to the 7up crate.  I really like the history it gives the space.  Great Job!  Here is what she did:

Normally my life in the family room, blogging and living, is from the inside looking out  (especially lately with this HUMIDITY and these MOSQUITOS!)

and since we’re pretending this is a photo shoot for a catalog, lets throw in a weird prop like peppers for no good reason at all:

The pillows were from (left to right) Goodwill, garage sale, ones I made myself, and PB from a garage sale. The coffee and side tables and lamps (although I’m looking for new drum shades) were both bought at a garage sale and painted. A big basket next to the couch keeps toys corralled and out of sight.

The painted window frames and the curtains have really brightened the room.

With a toddler and minus a million pillows, this is how it really looks most days:
