Living Room Update
Some of my friends were begging me to recreate the cute window treatments in the living room for his or her personal posh homes and since they did not carry with the house I thought I'd put up every other picture for proposal. And if it's not thought sufficient I'm positive the mantle gnome can whip up some thing quite together with his magic. Because we all know I'm into magic. Riiiiiight! What I am doing is re-posting the before photos from our heinous inherited living room so that you can all be impressed with the after shots. And sure, there may be finally an after. I've spent the last week or so sitting in our living room simply looking round in amazement at the transformation. Also, we have no window remedies of any kind so in case you pressure by using my residence you could in reality see me sitting on the couch looking round in awe. It's awesome, I understand the neighbors positive suppose so. On that word, I bought a new robe from Victoria's Secret. It's really comfortable and it changed into inexpensive than new window treatments. Okay, right here we cross.
BEFORE
There absolutely are not any phrases. It's just so "flavor specific".
Since my husband requested that I exercise gaining knowledge of patience daily, I notion you'd all want to take a lesson with me this morning. So, you may have to scroll thru some DURING pics earlier than you may dinner party your eyes at the juicy AFTER photos. Believe me, they are really worth it!
DURING
Might I point out again that my insanely gifted husband built this mantle and did all of the trim work and paneling around the room himself. Impressed? I recognise I positive am. I even have my eyes on some new fixtures for the den/office so if you'd like me to schedule him to do some trim paintings in your own home I'd be happy to negotiate. But don't forget, steeply-priced furniture, err I suggest custom paintings, would not come reasonably-priced so that you'll need to pay up!
Also, you may have observed that we no longer most effective constructed up the present mantle, however, we eliminated the fuel insert to the fireplace to return it to timber burning. We published it on craigslist however had no takers. It's pretty new and in surely excellent circumstance. Let me know if every body wishes it. And in case you're inclined to take away it from my porch you may probably have it free of charge. Also, through hiding a number of the dated brick with trim and constructing up the mantle we were capable of make the whole lot appearance lots extra in share to the room without having to begin from scratch. I think this is called salvage. It's where you figure with what you've got and do not get to just start from scratch. I'm getting to know about that too.
Also, Mom-these are the gorgeous chairs I advised you about! As for the relaxation of you-they have been a smart online locate and on account that I don't give away all my secrets you will have to email me in case you want details!
Well now, that looks as if enough of a lesson with the persistence for in the future...
AFTER
In case every person is thinking, the trim shade is Designer White and it got here from Sherwin Williams. We used a semi-gloss. My mom in regulation advised us that that is the excellent white for trim paintings as it's a honestly easy, however soft, white. Anyone who's attempted to pick out out white paint on their own is aware of that there are approximately 1000 distinctive whites and it's really difficult to recognize which one will work high-quality. We desired some thing crisp and fresh, but, no longer sterile or builder white. I think we done that look.

I am truly amazed!
