The Room in Which We Live

Today, I am joining Kelly's Korner tour of living rooms! Welcome to our home! Come on in to the room we spend most of our time...Our house has a very open floor plan, so as you can see there are not many walls in our living room. All the pictures were taken with me standing in the dining room or kitchen. All of our room colors are from Sherwin Williams "American Traditions" line, and the living room is "Colonial Sun". My drapes and pillows were made by my mom (she is AWESOME!) and all of my pictures, and decorative stuff I've just collected over the years. I've always liked my living room, but it changes ALOT - I get bored with things REALLY QUICK! I'm ready to do some more substantial changes than just moving things around, like some new fabrics and paint. BUT, we are putting hardwood floors down within the next few weeks (YEA!!!), so those things will have to wait. The bookcases, mantle, and arch were BUILT by my HUSBAND and his uncle and father!!!!! They are absolutely my most favorite thing about our house, and I'm so grateful I married into a family of talented men!

I HEART schotskys, so here's my top 5 fav in the room, in no particular order of importance:

Butler's Pantry Candlesticks - these were used in our wedding, and I just absolutely love them! HOME Sign - love the colors of this sign.

Funky basket - I love everything about it...the color, the shape, the twigs. Sometimes I put flowers in it (like right now) and sometimes I fill it with pumpkins/Christmas balls/Easter eggs.

Foyer Area - my favorite canvas and my Granny's dresser...just makes me smile!

Longaberger baskets and I have definitely had a long term love affair :)

After looking at these pictures, I'm really ready to put out some pumpkins and gourds...I'm getting excited about fall!! Thanks for letting me share our home with you!
