Befores-and-Afters

We've been busy, busy sprucing up our home. Yes, we've lived here for almost 3 years and we're just now getting around to some of this stuff.

This is our living room, we had a mirrored star hanging there since shortly after we moved in. I bought it on super-duper clearance at Kohl's. Unfortunately, Wes hated it. With a capital 'hate'. Woe is me. I finally took it down and make a little project to put there. It turned out kind of bumpy, and I'll probably re-do it but I hung it to get a feel for it. I think it's a little bare, thoughts? (I think we also need some flowers or something on top of the TV, but that's neither here nor there.) We also just added the black thing for accessories, we previously had everything on an end table. Yep, that's how we roll. (Also- ignore the giant piles of laundry. It's clean, just not put away.)




Here is what I'm reh-he-he-heally proud of- the picture wall. I've had these frames for at least 2 years, if not longer. They came in a box of 7 for $10.48. That's right, people, about $1.50 each. Score! I bought three boxes, with grand ideas of a wall gallery. Two years later, they're still in the closet, in the boxes, in a ginormous Target bag. A few weeks ago, I bought these. They were a silver-color, so I decided to paint them with some extra copper-y spray paint I had laying around. I originally had a different plan for them, but I think they really 'make' the wall.



Now I can tell my children, 'Yes, someone really DOES live here!"


I was going to post pictures of our kitchen makeover as well, but I can't find them now. Since I know you're just dyyyyyying to read this post, I'll just have to promise to do it later. Stop snickering behind your hand, I really will post it! Sometime. :)
