Redo

I have been wanting this, and I've been asking Drew to build one for me, but I don't have $75 bucks to spend, and Dre's muscles are tired from building the deck....so I settled for a half off sale at Hobby Lobby, and bought something not quite as fancy, but it does the trick, and for some reason, the whole entire family room feels completely different now. More complete in a way. Well, duh. Look at what was there before:

Gross, cheap, wrought iron hooks that did not do this room justice. Not hating on the hook...especially if you have one just like it. It just did not work in this space. But this does:

Muuuuch better. Don't ya think? Still need some frame fillers, I know...don't hate. Oh! Isn't that blue-ish vase thing pretty neat?? I was at Homegoods shopping for a new lamp a few weeks ago since ours broke, and I stumbled across this vase, which matched the lamp exactly. And I just had to buy it. I knew I could find a place for it.

Don't hate the lampshade either. I'm working on recovering it. Cuz that one totally blows. Oh well.

Another redo:

I bought this table, had no idea what to do with it really, put it in front of the window and left it alone for awhile. But once I moved it, and changed the decor, it looks so much better, and it makes the room look so much better too.

Those were the befores, here's the after:

Isn't the pottery beautiful? I neighbor of my parents made that from a real leaf for us for a wedding gift. Totally cool.

It's crazy how I have so many before and afters from when we bought our house until now, and now I feel like I am redoing the redo's. But is a woman really ever satisfied??? Probably not. But for now, I am happier about these two things.
