Updating and Refreshing

Way back in September our good friend Nate helped us repaint our living room, and we have been slowly updating it a little every month. I think it is safe to say that it is finally done! The walls went from white to a happy yellow, and I changed the dark red and orange curtains to white and brightened up the room. Next, I spray painted my black star white and edge it in brown staz-on ink to add dimension.

The green candlesticks were a yard sale find that had a horrible paint job. The green is proof of my newfound love affair with spray paint. It fixes anything!

These pillows are all recovered old ones that were just plain worn out. I got some new fabric and covered the old ones. The small band around the sash is the fabric that covers the glider pillow and the lamp shade in the picture below. Craigs list, one of my favorite shopping places, is where I found a black lamp with a white shade. With a little red spray paint, and some pretty fabric it's like new!

I just had to use the floral fabric in one more spot so I made a table cover to go on our entertainment center. There is also one under the table lamp on the other side of the room.


Last, but not least, our mounted pride and joy. In between them are picture of our kids. Just kidding, but I was really excited about these two canvases. They are covered in fabric that matches the dining room chairs I recovered last summer. The brown flourishes are vinyl cutouts from my cricut.
It is so rejuvenating changing something in my house, especially when it is all done by hand!
