Home Redo...One Room at a Time!!!

O.K. so....My cutie friend shortmama, just started something AWESOME...it's a HOME REDO... ONE ROOM AT A TIME. This is the very first month of this fun adventure, and we're starting off in the living room. Fun, fun, fun. You have a month to make the changes you've been wanting to make. For me personally, I don't have any extra cash to be making big changes, like carpet or furniture, or many other ideas I have floating around in my head...but I am going to participate because, I am transitioning my living room to the "trophy", outdoors, hunting room. All that kind of stuff is currently in my bedroom, and it's getting way too crowded. I know there are many out there that don't like the "hunting" stuff(so I apologize), but it's what I grew up with, and I have a very outdoors man husband. I actually really like the woodland, outdoors, cabin, kind of look.....so I'm going to see what I can do within my (non-existent) budget. Yard sales, and thrift stores here I come.

This is what the living room looks like right now....notice, I have already added many alpine trees, and I have been slowly changing things out. Oh and P.S. I decorate very boutique-like, don't make fun, I like my crowded style.:-)

Currently the colors are sage green, yellow, blue and tan. I have a border going all the way around the living room...which I wouldn't normally choose, but there was a border when we moved in, and it was not wanting to come down. I found a border I liked that matched the colors I was doing, so just put it up over the existing one. Eventually I want crown molding...hmmmm, we'll see.

The rocking chair is a present from Hunter Dan's mom. With the first grandchild, you get a rocking chair.(Pretty sweet I think) Oh and Jibbity said she "needed" to be in the pic.

Our house is a split entry, thirty-three year old home. Lots of changes I would like to make for sure. Nope my house isn't big, or fancy, or new...but it is decorated fun and how I like(but ready for some changes), it's clean, keeps my family safe, makes us comfortable, and is one of my favorite places to be. I am truly grateful and blessed!

Down below the light is the front door. The HUGE wreath I actually really like, but one of my first projects will be to change it to a woodland wreath instead of drieds. Hubby thinks that will be cool. He's never liked the wreath, but now that it will be more "manly", he's changin' his mind.

Lots to do, lots to do....what can I do in 1 month...I'm anxious to get to work and see!!!! If you want to join the party head on over to shortmama's and link up. We'll all link back up in a month again to see what we accomplished. AWESOME!!!

I'm going to go snuggle Ashie now...she's pretty miserable. Have a fun day! Ours is VERY rainy!!!(made for a bit of a chilly soccer game this morning at 9:00 a.m., still trying to un-thaw)
