Since I've had rugs with floral prints for so long, I was ready for solid neutral rugs for the family room This is the new one in the dining area, and I will post the new one in the living area later. It's the same color palette, but a little different. |
 |
Before........................................................................After |
 |
Of course, new rugs mean that the family area would need a little freshening up too! |
 |
I added a table runner to the existing tablecloth and made a simple Valentine floral design. |
 |
Happy VDay |
 |
The next change I made was to "go green" I am so ready for spring! |
 |
The floral design I made can be seen from all sides..... |
 |
This is the view from the kitchen....... |
 |
The view from the dining room........ |
 |
and the view from the living area. |
 |
I hung a simple Valentine wreath........ |
 |
It's just a heart shaped chicken wire wreath that I wired a garland to. |
 |
Other changes I made included ......... |
 |
I replaced the lamp on the display unit and also all the decor on the other shelves. |
 |
A new vignette on the table under the window. I also brought in the harp table from in the hallway and put it under the window So, of course, now the hallway looks a little different! |
 |
I added more green with the addition of a pretty potted plant. You've seen this plant in the master bedroom for several years and it was time to move it to a new location. |
 |
I don't know what kind of faux plant this is, but I love it! |
 |
In the first photo, the dining room was flooded with natural light. By the time I finished the dining room, the sun had set and it was dark outside. It took all day to make the changes, take the pics, and write up a post.......but it was well worth it! I love it when you stop by for a visit, come back soon! |
Penny,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed all of your "Green" touches.... The rug fits in perfect with your "Farmhouse" Theme but you know me, a Victorian Soul" ....In my house, I would prefer the other rug! But I know you like it and it looks great with your new style and decor!!
