Changing your entire home to a new decor style can be expensive, and isn't always realistic. So, I decided that I would work on one room at a time. I started with the half bath in my main living space. My house is 3 stories, and the main living space is actually on the 2nd floor. The half bath was kind of dull and blank, which made it a perfect place to begin.
I still love teal and blue, but this rug, towel, and art made it's way down to the basement bathroom, to make way for a more sophisticated and mature bathroom on the floor we spend most of our time.
I made a few more changes after taking this picture, but the "industrial" shelves really made all of the difference! They match the floors really well, and it just looks so much better.
I painted the "Flush" sign myself and updated the shelves one more time!
We have a potty training child so the supplies have to remain accessible, but adding a touch of farmhouse to this tower, makes me hate the clutter a little less.
Next, I moved to the Dining & Living Room. The space is a large open area with a 3 sided fireplace in the center. So it all had to be cohesive.
This oversized Skeleton Key makes me very happy!
I love this 3 sided fireplace that splits the main floor living spaces!
Here is the after :). I absolutely love it. It makes me happy.
The dining room table was turned the other way, and it made the space feel smaller. Turning it this direction, allowed the table to sit back into the bay window more, and I have curtains that I am planning to hang to finish it all off.
The living room space is a bright and happy place for us to spend time.
I JUST hung curtains in the bay window a few days ago!
The metal casing around the window and on the corner of the wall where it bends for the bay window made curtains something that I avoided for MONTHS. I didn't know how I was going to do it... ENTER COMMAND STRIPS!!!
I used a Large on the bottom, and a small on the top upside down. That allows for 6lbs of weight per bracket & 12lbs total on the set. It worked PERFECTLY!
I think they look great in the window, and tie the whole room together!
I have more ideas and plans for the house to get it where I really like the full design, but this was a great start and I enjoy being in my home!
