Finally hung my photos

Certainly makes the trip downstairs a little more interesting!

Living room

This is my living room.  I really hope I can get new furniture one day.  This is a definite step up from the Thomas the Train table which lived in this room for a number of years.  My mom moved to a smaller house so I inherited the wing back chairs.  I moved my bedside tables down from my bedroom and picked up a rug from IKEA.  The artwork over the fireplace is from HomeSense. 

Boy's Bedroom

I finished my son's bedroom back in the summer and love it.  I found some wrapping paper at Indigo with a vintage map of London on it.  It was the perfect colours and on sale for a couple of dollars a piece.  I bought up all they had left and hopped it would be enough to wallpaper one wall in his room.  I wasn't sure how to wallpaper wrapping paper but bought some wallpaper paste and got started.  My mom helped me even though she thought I was completely nuts.  The wrapping paper would rip easily so you couldn't fidgle much with it once it went up but the finished product looks great and cost me under $40 to do!

Picture Collage

I am putting together a picture collage to be hung on the walls going down to my basement....I think.  I have been known to change my mind about a thousand times before any thing actually goes up.  So far the frames have been living on my dining room table.  Fortunately my husband is kind enough to pretend they are not there when we eat our dinner around them.  I am pretty sure I have gotten all the good frames from HomeSense but I am still on the lookout...it has become a sport!

Recently Completed Master Bedroom

I used Candice Olsen wallpaper for the master bedroom.  It was amazing to install - practically hung itself!

Drawing Room Blue

Here is the sample board of blue I want to paint the dining room....good-bye flowered wallpaper!

New to the Blog World
