I have
always thought of myself as a creative person. I have BA in Theater for
goodness sake and you would think that would give me an edge when it comes to
decorating our new home, however, this project has been very difficult.
Apparently, years of living in small New York City apartments has made
decorating our modest home seem like an overwhelming task. I can’t seem
to make up my mind on any one piece of furniture let alone imagine it in a room
with other pieces of furniture must coexist. My husband is refusing to
continue to sit on folding chairs and furniture that is falling apart, so it's
time to go shopping. Here goes nothing!
Below is one
of our first rooms… we have started to work on… the family room!
Before
Now:
Things we need to work on
next in this room:
T.V. stand- We got a great
deal on a closed T.V. stand during the holiday weekend. I can't wait till it
arrives because Kennedy is growing and moving fast. As you can see, by looking
at the corners of our coffee table we have started baby proofing. But our whole TV stand has to go. I can just
see Kennedy pulling herself up on those glass shelves.
We still have to purchase:
-Rug
-Window treatments
-Art work for the walls
If you have any ideas on
what styles will look good in this room and where I can get good deals for
items above please let me know?
