Living room update

I am so excited to announce we are actually talking about doing something to the living room!! 

Not what you were expecting , right?

Well , Let's see....6 months ago we moved into this house. 

Only one month ago I broke down, cleaned our nasty carpet, removed the wall paper and  started using our living room. 

Which means we've been living in our bedroom, basically for 5 months! It's been driving me crazy. It also means that our living room is still a disaster and we are using the space!

Remove wall paper : check!

Today we are moving all the furniture back out and were primer-ing and preparing the walls for paint!

Guess what comes after paint....carpet!! I'm so excited to finally get carpet for this space. 

Notice the "..." on the todo list. I have pretty big plans for this space. Which, is why it's taking so long. Big plans mean big money. 

I know I'm Miss Frugal. But, I truly believe if you spend money  (Not lots of money, just what's necessary ) on the bones of a space ( walls , doors/windows, carpet/flooring ,etc.)  The rest of the space will come together nicely and you  can save money on the decor.

...I'll keep you updated!
