Christmas in the Livingroom

I have been doing a little Christmas decorating.

Here are some pictures of the Livingroom.

The big lighted blob to the right is my lighted up Santa Clause, it didn't turn out very well in my pictures.

In this picture I put on old round aluminum sled together with some greenery and hung it on the wall.

I think it turned out pretty cool.

Pictures of my kids from Christmas past.

I had to decorate my windmill tail a little.

Close ups of the tree.

The King of Kings and his crowns!!

I hope you all enjoyed my little tour.

I will post some of the other rooms in my house soon.

The Master Closet

I have had a great time decorating my master closet.

Not that I am a big fashion designer or anything.

We have a couple of built in cabinets with drawers in here to hold our little things.

I found these glasses holders at a garage sale and for me it was like finding gold!!!! 

This ceramic yellow hand was my grandmas.

I have no idea what it was meant to be, but it holds bracelets perfectly.

The jewelry cabinet that the hand sits on is a family heirloom that was my Aunt Dorothy's.

It fit in front of the window perfectly.



The lights in this room are my favorite ones in the whole house.

I tried to take pictures of them, but they did not turn out too great.

This is a picture of the one in the middle, the other two are a bit smaller.



This is a shot of the shoe racks and shelving.



I have had this mirror in my bedroom since I was a little girl.

It brings back all my childhood memories with just a glance.



I was so lucky to find this rug!

It is the exact length of our closet.



Got a place for my boots!
Yee Haw!!

I know these pictures are not the best.

Just wanted to give you a glimpse of a really hard room to take pictures of.

This is not the biggest room in the house,
 but to me it is one of the most important!

The Livingroom Reveal

The living room is finally finished!

Our decision to put the aqua color on the walls was because there are a lot of huge windows in this room.

It turned out great! 

It is super hard to take pictures of this room because of the glare from the windows, so bare with me. 

This is a picture of the sitting area of the living room. 

 

 

 

We went with all white trim and crown molding.

 

Below is the wall the I refer to as the windmill tail wall.

 

Here is the big, black, leather sectional that sits in front of the television.

 

Soooooo comfy!!!!

 

A close up of some of my favorite things.

Some fall decorating inside an old lantern.

More fall goodies.

 

A shot of the crown molding and the light blue ceiling.

 

An antique thermos with a little follage in it.  

I did a video of this room too, if you would like to see it click on the link below.

The Master Bedroom

Here are some pictures of the master bedroom.

I don't have a lot of decorations on the walls yet.

It's hard to put holes in the walls when you have done all of the painting, sanding, taping, etc. to them.

The ceiling is white.
The walls are a medium gray.
The trim in this room is a darker gray.
We have the bamboo flooring in here.

I do have a canvas print of a pier headed to the beach between the accordion lamps above our bed.

This chandelier has been through a lot already, but she makes the room.

Here is a closer picture of the headboard.

It is a gray linen fabric with silver tacks.

Right above the headboard is a double switch.

One is for the reading lamps above the bed and the other is for the chandelier in the middle of the room.

This was brilliant!!!!

No more clapping your hands trying to get the "Clapper" to turn your lights off!!! 

This is a picture of my best friend.

I wouldn't sleep a wink if not for this little guy.

Over in a corner I have a lounge chair with a Shafer pillow, a reading lamp on a mirrored end table, and a sheepskin rug, that Champ loves. 

This is a close up shot of the mercury curtain rods and the white ruffled curtains that I finally decided on.

I only took back three sets of curtains in order to find the right ones!!!

The television hanging on the wall above the dresser.

The other piece of artwork that I have hung in here is a picture of Large and me when we took a trip to Chicago before we were married. 

  All of the writing on it is from the people who attended our wedding reception wishing us well.

Something I love!!!

If you look closely at it you can see where my dad wrote,

 "Love you

Mom and Dad"

It brings tears to my eyes every time I see it.

A treasure for me.   

The rug in here is an indoor/outdoor rug.

It looks like a worn Persian rug, so cool. 

I will keep you updated on the decorating in this room, as I tend to change things around a bit.

I like the white bedding for the summer, but fall is just around the corner!!!

What do you think?

The 1/2 Bath

The guest bathroom is done and decorated.

This is a picture of it from the hallway.

The little red step stool in the corner is just like the one my brother and I had when we were children.

It says,

 "This little stool is mine

To use it all the time

To reach the things I couldn't 

And lots of things I shouldn't " 

I am loving the black and white tile, it turned out great! 

I added some zebra and aqua hand towels on a glass and brass towel bar.

Then I hung a black and white farm print. 

This light was very, very dark and dreary, but Big Ran and I scrubbed on it, rewired it, and polished it up.

It adds a lot to this spot.

   

I had this mirror in my storage room at the old house.

It was painted a light yellow, so I grabbed the black spray paint and it turned out perfect for this room.

It was really hard to find a sink small enough to fit in here without the door hitting it when you opened the door.

We added an antique bronze faucet to the sink.

An old wooden step stool holds the extra toilet paper and another hand towel.

  

I just haven't been able to put any rugs in here, the floor is my favorite thing in the room!

What do you think?
