~MORE Pictures of Living Room Re-do~

~Still working on it and having a blast~

~I was trying to take these pictures around Bob watching "Flip this House" before the football games started today. I wanted to paint the benches white but thinking I might just keep them in that "Pitter Patter Aqua" just in case I want to add pink and aqua later on....we will see~

~That BARE WHITE WALL is NEXT.....I CANNOT WAIT for the kids to get back to school next week and then I can play some more...will of course, show pictures of what I decide to do~

~I am seriously thinking of adding some lace to the big picture windows that are 9 feet across. We have two of them, one to the North and one to the South as I love the light pouring in during the day and we are far enough from the highway that no one can tell, there are no curtains or shades.... oh, the possibilities~

Hope you are enjoying your FIRST DAY OF 2011!!!!

Hugs and Love, Amy

~HAPPY NEW YEAR and MY NEW LIVING ROOM~

~HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE~

My house was totally mismatched after the whole shabby chic thing didn't work to well with all the kids....

I resorted BACK TO MY BLUE JEAN Sofa and mis~matched furniture!!!! UGH!!!! I HATED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!!!

My NEW YEARS RESOLUTION....MAKE THE HOME YOU WANT.......(with 2 kids gone, 2 more leaving this year and only 2 left at home, it's time)

~So I went into my shop and "SHOPPED"......I am so drooling over all these gals blogs with the "Old World Whites, Creams and Black" so I decided why not see what I can come up with????~

~I'm NOT FINISHED yet. YEAH, I have many more ideas swirling around in my head and I have to tell you, I transformed my Living Room to this point in just ONE DAY!!!!~

~Bob just rolled his eyes and said, "Really?" then sat down in his big green lazy boy that I covered with a Rachel Ashwell POPLIN King Size sheet and started playing Wii golf....LOL I am so blessed that he is such a trooper with all my decorating madness~

~I am totally thrilled with what I have come up with already and I woke up this morning at 6am while it was still dark out and sat in the quiet with my "French Vanilla Coffee" and all the candles on....

It's my HAPPY NEW YEAR and I WISH THE SAME FOR YOU~

Big HUGE Hugs and ALL MY LOVE,

Amy
