The girls have been after me to change it for a while now. I used to be so good about updating our house but with adding a child to our family & keeping up with the kid's activities, the house has moved to the back burner.
So while the girls were gone on their missions trip to Chicago, we thought we'd make over the room and surprise them when they got back. I posted all of our living room furniture on facebook and it literally sold within minutes. That was a huge blessing because it gave me some cash to go buy a new couch! I've always wanted a comfy sectional & found one at a local store at a great price.
In the meantime, we painted the room a light grey to brighten it up more, then I added pops of color with accessories.
Next, I created a collage wall with pictures, a mirror, and a cross that I've been collecting for a while now. Funny, I actually won the off-white picture frames (made by Change of Art) in a contest several years ago. They have just been sitting in boxes in our office ever since they arrived! I know. That is bad. I have to tell you - I love these frames, though! They come with a template that you tape to the wall wherever you want your picture. The template shows you where to hammer in your nail. Then you just tear off the paper & hang your picture frame. It's also so easy to change out pictures with these frames. I am definitely sold!
Next project was the "Love is spoken" wall hanging. When I bought it at Hobby Lobby, it looked like this...
Boring. Then I found this oversized clothes pins at Target. Hot glued them to the board and added pictures. Simple and easy...
Next project... Mercy's bedroom! :-D
