New side table project.
Snatched up this adorable side table/ cabinet that I found on Craigslist today! Oh right, for free.
I love free.
I cannot wait to get it painted and in my living room… I am thinking about a purple shade. Now, I need to decide between brighter or grayer, more subtle purples. It’s going to be pretty cute!
I <3 Craigslist finds.
Red wall, gone.
Living room update.
Sunday night, I got around to painting my living room again, as planned.
Check it out.
Polka dot?
I’m convinced this is MY perfect coffee table…
The West Elm Dot Coffee table.
Pretty spot on for what I want out of a coffee table. Seemed so simple, but I could not find anything anywhere, until BAM! today this crosses my path in an internet search.
Now, to consider spending $400 on it….. blech. I’m pretty sure i’m the cheapest person alive and collectively my living room furniture currently in total cost under $400.
It’s about time…
Finally taking some time to update. Sorry, I suck. I’m working on a few projects, one being my nephew’s Birthday gift. I want to post the photos of my progress, but I’m going to wait until after his Birthday to post the photos of the finished product.
Otherwise, I have been making little changes here and there around the apartment. I took down my Christmas tree and all my Christmas decor before New Year’s! A first for me. I tend to enjoy keeping everything up until after New Year’s, but I had the week between Christmas and New Year’s off from work, so I thought to take advantage. Besides, let’s face it, if I didn’t do it then, it would still be up today… I’m THAT bad.
So, the living room is just a tad bit more bare and ready for the few changes, fixes and projects I have in store.
On the list:
Fabric or Tissue paper pom poms. After seeing Stephanie’s post, I begged her to come show me how she did them. I think I want to do something with these in the living room/kitchen. My kitchen could use some pizazz! It’s soooo white. Photo from EssEmmBee.
Furniture! I plan to change out my coffee table, and I would ideally like to get a sideboard or long and low media cabinet of sorts for the TV. I also want to get rid of that tall white bookcase I have. Right now, it just looks too random. I’ve moved it all over, and can’t find a place it looks right. So, I need to come up with an alternate book housing solution.
Paint. That Red wall was great for Christmas and a great bold color for my first ever getting to paint a wall experience! But, it’s time for something different. And something more neutral. I have considered another bold color, but something in the brown family is all I can imagine looking good with my grey couch and planned artwork. So, I went to Osh last week and grabbed a TON of paint samples in various browns. I have it now narrowed down to a few. Also, I imagine if I stick to white furniture, the brown will look especially awesome.
More to come.
Furniture wishlist.
It’s coming back around. I’ve got the itch to re-do some things, redecorate, replace, repaint maybe even 
I’m just thinking about changing the wall color in the bedroom, and adding some wall color in the kitchen and entry way.
On my list of furniture (which I have begun patrolling craigslist for) is:
A table and chairs, OR just a table to start with, something I could paint would be fun.
A Round coffee table, preferably a decent looking wood of some sort. the one pictured above is PERFECT. That’s even my same rug.
A Queen size head board, and someone to help me fix my be frame because I plopped down on my bed yet again, and one of the beams cracked in half, yeah that’s right. I Love Big Macs. again, the head board pictured above is PERFECT. ha, I wish, that thing is glorious. I would also love some interior brick walls.
Wish me luck, my budget allows anything free, or under $30, about. :/
