Do you have vision?

I was changing something in my bedroom this morning.....

these flowers had been on the floor...

so we tried them on a small table...

and then put a round box on top of that...

until we had what we think looks better (and less boring)!

But when I looked around the room I started reminiscing!

When we pulled up in the driveway of this home

with our realtor (in red) 6 years ago I was impressed!

The house was beautiful and the landscaping was perfect

(and maintained!). This is the back of the house, taken from the golf course.

But when I walked inside, I almost walked right back out!

My husband had to keep telling me to look past the furniture

AND the wallpaper....and the PINK carpet!

 

The house was only a few years old

but it had been built by a couple that must have been stuck

in the '70s! So here are the before pics of the bedroom

with the original owners' furniture...

my hubby taking down wallpaper....

a quick look with Travertine (color) paint on the walls

and BEIGE carpet, when the furniture was being delivered

but before the drapes were hung....

and the photo I took this morning!

I think this takes my room from 'Boring to BETTER'!

So I'm joining Kim this week at Savvy Southern Style !

Do you have vision? I'm sure glad my husband does!

Just a little tweaking...

It's January! I LOVE new beginnings and getting things clean and in order! I love walking through my house and seeing what little things I can change to make a difference! And I've been going crazy these past few days! Yesterday I was up and down on a ladder changing things on top of the refrigerator! heehee! Today I'm in my closet organizing! lol

Awhile back I showed this pretty little flower arrangement that I put together using things I bought at Michael's. I saw one all made up....

but I knew I could make one that I would like even better!

And I love red roses. The only problem was....

it looked too small on the center of my large Thomasville dresser! I even asked in a post what everyone thought! (and got a few honest answers!)

So I discussed it with my hubby (he really does have great style!) and off we went to Michael's, Hobby Lobby and Pier 1. My hubby chose the perfect vase....and even found the ivy at Michael's. I walked around and spotted the lavender flowers to add a splash of color!

 

So now I think it's more balanced....

What do you think? I'm sure I'll move some things around another day!

Here's a close up of the small Bible nearby (it's over 100 years old) ....

 

some dried roses and 2 more old Bibles at the end of the dresser...

 

And the small arrangement? It's on the piano....

at least for now!

Do you like to move things from one room to another?

Have you been 'spring cleaning' in January?

I'm joining Kim at Savvy Southern Style  for the Boring to Better party!

 

Enjoy your week! Happy decorating!

Moving back in!

When we leave Florida....we put things away!

Then when we get back after a few months...

the fun begins!

I love putting my bedroom back in order! Let the sunshine in!!! ( and yes...I KNOW there's a fan on the nightstand! It's Florida! We decorate with FANS! heehee! )

Lots of my favorite things to put on the dresser!

And the Lady of Shallot is my inspiration for my bedroom!

Thanks Kim for the fun! I'm linking with her Before and After!

Enjoy your day! Have fun visiting all the other blogs!
