Living Room Re-do Part 1

It's been a little quiet these days at Hunter Drive.  But that's just because I've been busy working instead of blogging!  A couple weeks ago we had an appraisal as part of refinancing our mortgage so hubbs and I were busy finishing up half done projects left and right.  We painted the foundation, planted some new flowers, and even did the finishing touches in the bathroom.  I also got right to work on more living room projects.  Take a look!

As I mentioned in the last post, I have recently fallen in love with Antler Damask (on the right most pillow).  It is a "new to me" kind of love, as this print by Joel Dewberry has been out for some time.  I was thrilled to find something traditional but quirky and in such fun colors.  Plus it matches our set of antlers that already hang over the TV.  I made two pillow covers from AD and 4 others in coordinating stripes I scored at Ikea.  I followed Brett Bara's online tutorial to a T.  My zippers dont look all that professional but who can tell?

I also took down the beige curtains and moved in some red ones from our office.  The color isn't perfect but it works for now.  Left to do on my list is:

  • New rug - a trellis pattern or something else geometric,  maybe black and white
  • More antlers and sportsman accessories for the TV wall
  • 2 new lamp drum shades or another more modern shape
  • Rearranging the corner cupboard - possibly with antlers and trophies?
  • New spot for the oar?
What else?
