Living Room Plan, Wall-by-Wall
In Tuesday’s post, I shared the overall floor plan for our living room. Next, I want to share the elevation drawings I completed during the six week interior design class I’m so glad I was able to take. What is an elevation drawing? Basically, an elevation is a one dimensional (flat) drawing of the three [...]
When In Doubt, Draw It Out

Living Room Recap
Yikes…it’ been a long time since I’ve posted any pictures of our living room. A lot has changed since the last time. Before I show you where we are now, let’s recap where we’ve been. The first time I showed you our living room, it looked like this: At this point, we never used this [...]
That Dang Corner
The living room is looking really good. With one exception. This corner that’s giving me trouble. What’s a girl to do? Scour the web for some inspiration of course! A skinny table with a bench?

When we moved into this home, I never imagined I would be blogging about all the changes we’ve made, [...]

Living Room Update
Good: Much better: Some simple furniture rearranging and additional accessories warm up the space.
Living Room Update: 1 hour, $12
Last week I showed you how a few accessories made a big difference in our living room. Here is another example. Remember that scary table in the corner? Well, thanks to a $12 Target table cloth, two dining room chairs, a lamp that was on the other side of the room and some re-purposed frames, [...]
Living Room Update: 1 hour, $0
Remember my fruitful trip to TJ Maxx? I hit the jackpot and spent no money thanks to a gift card. Well, those items now look perfect in our living room. For now I’ll show you the lamps and the pillows. Remember what the couch looked like before? And here is what a few accessories can do.
