Need some inspiration to make a few quick changes to your living room? Lay on your couch a million hours a day...and you will find it! haha!
I thought I was going to go crazy if I had to continue to look at my living room the way that it was. It wasn't that it was bad, or even that I changed it that much, but it just needed a little lift. I was tired of the bookshelf, which was just cluttered with pictures, and I was sick of looking at the art on the wall. I made a few cheap changes, and my view from the couch is much more enjoyable. Thank gosh for online shopping!

I got a new rug from Target, added some brown curtain panels (which are great for naptime), switched the TV/chair, added a plant and decluttered the bookshelf. Down the street we have this place called CentrePeace, which is a "vintage" store (aka-a large rummage sale), where people donate old furniture and household items. The county inmates work there daily, and are taught repair skills (repairing furniture and electronics) from weavers and electricians, so that items can be sold for a profit. It is a little unnerving going there because 90% of the people are in orange jumpsuits, but I see the positive in the whole effort. Anywho, I got a plate, vase and wooden bowl there for 5.50! They added a little color to the bookshelf, and were super cheap! I also replaced the pictures on the wall with these:
Ahhh...nothing like online nesting and a hubby who "willingly" takes orders to move furniture! :)
