We've been ignoring the current state of our home for the longest time. Dingy beige walls, mismatched (not in a good way) furniture, exposed unpainted plyboard, and let's not forget the clutter. You enter our house, you see clutter. You turn the corner, and there it is again. I'm not talking about things-you-use-everyday clutter, it's more of who-the-h*ll-owns-that-and-why-is-it-still-there trash. We just gotten used to it.

But now its time for redemption, in a big way. I've been living with all boys and they don't care. So yeah, it's safe to say that this prettify our home is all my crazy idea.

Here are some inspiration for our living/dining area.

Hello world.

I've been in love with decorating since I was 10 (though my idea of a great room then was crazy pink walls with art quotes on tons of bond papers taped to my wall). It made me happy.

Now, this is my idea of a great room.




That will make me happy.
Pale teal / aqua walls, pops of different colored furniture, lots of frames, "I actually like to work" working space, and warm mood lighting.


I even made a layout mock-up of it. It's been running around in my head and I just need to see it, so there it is.

We're in the process of a minor home renovation and I'm upgrading to a bigger room. This space will be MINE in a matter of days! (If I can actually pull it off)
