Refreshing the Front Room

 So, as you would expect..if you know me...I changed up my front room again :) lol. It started with the need to transfer the striped burlap curtains in there. I loved them in my living room, but then I needed to purchases longer curtains for the front room since I used the burlap curtains that were in there to make the striped curtains. And well. I didn't want to purchase any more curtains. So I kept the original white ones in the living room and moved the striped ones back in here.

 And, I decided to move my knock off Ballard garden district mirrors in here also. I just wasn't loving the way they were looking in my dining room. Too much white on white. They fit fantastically in here, flanking the french doors.

 Next was to put a little decor on the wall since I moved the wooden sunburst mirror that was in there into my dining room to make up for the ballard mirrors that moved :). I made this other sunburst mirror, but when I put it up there, it didn't look quite right. It was too small. I contemplating adding more rays but decided not too...mainly cuz I ran out of posterboard to make more rays out of :) I'll show you the how to in a follow up post soon.

 I knew I needed something to flank the mirror to balance the white space below it. But they sure don't make it easy finding pencil lamps anywhere. I mean, I needed these lamps to be skinny skinny in order to fit on my little make shift sofa table back there.

Well, then I figured, why not use my fail safe and put some bottles up there? They aren't quite what I wanted, but a good second choice. I got these bottles at hobby lobby for around $2-$4 each.

Here's the before before before.....probably many befores...lol...of my front room. As I said, it has had many many iterations :) Although, sadly, this still isn't the first before....can't seem to find that picture..

 And the updated front room:::

It's fun seeing how much a room comes along throughout time isn't it? We'll see how long this one lasts. lol :) All the pillows were also updated and recovered using these tutorials: Puckered pillow. Ruffle Pillow. Ten Minute Pillow Cover.
