Before and After: Our Living Room

Our living room is a constant work in progress.  I have this one wall where our t.v is that drives me crazy.  It is not centered in the room, so it is difficult to decorate.  Ignore my kiddos and me, lounging in this picture.  We are having quality t.v time!

This is our old entertainment center I found at a garage sale.  I truly loved this.  It had some great storage.  However, my man wanted one of those jumbo wall t.v's, so this had to go.



 I couldn't afford real chairs at the time and thought these wicker chairs looked great.  I had the cushions made and hoped that made them look a little more formal.

So here is the new living room.  For the moment.  I've already moved this table to another wall.  I know, I'm a little crazy.  I can't seem to help myself.  I'll live with it one way, and decide it needs to change!  I know I'm not alone in this!

I love this chest.  I got it at a flea market years ago and simply adore it!

Here is a view of my curtains that I made with the help of my wonderful Aunt LaTrelle!  She is amazing!  I bought 3 hooks for each panel and hung them that way.  It was way to much money for a rod, so this was a cheaper way to hang them.  I think they add little bit more character.

I love this picture.  My sweet neighbor and friend, Lauren took these.  She is trying her hand at photography, and I think she is doing awesome!

I got this wicker basket at Target and it holds all of our blankets and quilts.  I can't seem to get out of Target without spending some major money!  No matter how hard I try.  I love that store!



Here is a look at my chairs I got at a garage sale from a good friend!  I love garage sales and estate sales!  You can find the most incredible things.



We opted not to do a fireplace in this house, which I completely regret.  I missed having a mantle to decorate.  So I found the next best thing at a flea market.  The fireplace screen is actually an antique metal headboard.

This is actually a plastic frame I bought for $20 bucks!!  I snatched this baby up quick!

Those are vintage t.v trays. 



So this is the ever changing wall!  To the right of the t.v I have put a small tall table there and I think it evens the wall out.  To the left of the t.v I moved that table and added a wicker chair.  It doesn't look quite off balanced to me anymore. Again, crazy!!





I hope you have enjoyed the tour!  I welcome any questions or comments.  Hope everyone has a blessed week!
