Our Front Room Makeover

I took this "before" picture to sell this rug on Craisglist... still hasn't sold. But it shows the room before I freshened it up. It was a dusty room with never-used furniture, a hard, linty (ugly) rug, and three paintings that I had done. I wanted something fresh and usable! So we threw the lovesac down there, brought our old TV out of hiding and mounted it. I made some throw pillows to go with the gorgeous blue ones that I found at Pier 1. And my favorite thing is the rug! It is a 3 inch thick shag pile rug! It is so soft and comfy! The kids, and Dave, love it! It was Dave approved as he laid out and napped on it yesterday. I have a few little sea shells laying around in jars that I put in there to go with the ocean painting (hard to see it with the lamp light on it, but oh well!). We use this room so much more now. And it is the first thing people see when they come over, so hopefully it will give a nice impression. It is always good to actually use rooms in your house. The last thing I'm going to do is get some pretty white curtains and lamps.
