Living room redo

2012-01-10T14:07:00.000-08:00

My front room was pretty boring. I have been collecting random items at garage sale's. Then I saw this couch, that I needed to have. Guess what? It showed up here on Christmas day. It was all coming together. The next week I wall papered, hung my swag lamp, made a frame for my mirror, and recovered a chair. It's not quite done. I'm in the home strech. I will post more pic's when I get it all finished.
