Room Redo on a Budget

Yesterday I decided I had enough of our ugly, blah and very boring living room so I went SHOPPING. Now don't hate me when I tell you that I didn't spend a dime on my 'new purchases'. I went shopping at the Leitzel Store...yep I shopped at home! Now there are a few things that I recently purchased at a yard sale, but everything else I found here at home.

2 throws that were each $3



2 brass hearts for $3



I paid $7 for this pitcher

lamp that I paid $7

knick knacks and doo dads found around the house

I wanted a little touch of "whimsy" so I had this old shutter and added some old family pictures

Moved a little table from the hallway and placed it behind the sofa. I used a little bench to raise up the lamp and pitcher.

An old ladder and a crock filled with sticks from our yard

Decorated a corner of the living room with an old shutter and placed an old family picture onto the shutter

Stacks of old suitcases.

We had an UGLY coffee table, so I decided to use two end tables as a coffee table..I like this so much better.



My bit of whimsy..old shutter with pictures

Our living room...still looking for an area rug and curtains

An old copper canner holding old quilts

My magazine box

I like using old books to decorate

This shows the sofa table and how I used a little bench to raise up the lamp and the pitcher



Our new coffee table made with two end tables




Old dry sink now used as an end table. I placed an old cutting board on the one end of the top of the dry sink

  I hope you enjoyed the little tour of our living room. Now onto "shopping" for more things for other rooms in our home...
