So, we've lived in this house for 21 months....and it FINALLY feels like HOME! :) Anyone that has been to our house, knows that I'm not too sure what the person that designed this house was thinking when they designed this floor plan....the front room has been a thorn in my side. Never quite sure how to use this space effectively....until NOW! We have turned this room into our living room and I am in love with it! The couch we inherited from my brother (who inherited it from my mother....yes this is the couch we had when I was in elementary school....we won't go into how old this couch is...but its still in excellent shape) is a little big for this room, but I think its going to work.
Now for the budget part (in case anyone cares).....we did this entire room makeover for $20!! Yup, that includes paint, curtains and anything else we bought to decorate with (although we only bought 2 things to decorate with, everything else is re-purposed stuff around the house!)
Anyway...here are some pictures!
