The Living Room Fix-up.


Poor little pink toys they always get left behind....
  Chris and I didn't want to wait for three (or five) years before we started painting and changing things this time around. (We were slow in painting and decorating the Indiana house.)  


We also didn't really want to keep the fleeing refugee look.











We "experimented" with different paint tones and our first pick was the one we liked best.  We did discuss the options of just leaving the random, rectanglish shapes up on the white wall, but we decided we weren't artsy/cool enough to pull that off.

Modern art on the wall.









   






We added trim...or rather Chris added trim while being assisted by Daniel.



 This part of the room actually does still look like this except that the table in the next picture is in the place of that little brown chair.   

Actually, the room only looks like this late at night (or early in the morning and maaaaaaybeeee during naptime) otherwise just insert those lost pink toys and other random kid paraphernalia all around and then you have what it looks likeYou could also just look at my facebook pictures and see the chaos that erupts sometimes.


We now have a piano back by the bookshelf instead of that table.  It looks very nice, but I've lost the little thingamagig that lets me transfer my pictures from my camera to the computer so you just have to use your imagination.

This room wasn't too difficult to put together.  I'd like to have more blue color in here so I'm looking for something blue to put on that wall above the table(piano) spot. Please share any ideas or pictures.  (I'm on pinterest so you could just pin it there if anyone wanted to help a girl out.)
