Obviously, I am far from done in this room, but over the last week I've at least made a little more progress. Can you see, from the photos, what I'm going for? Preppy green and pink, fresh and refreshing, clean, cheerful, and fun!
 |
| This is the chalkboard dining table, now covered in an Old Navy scarf (until I can find a proper table cloth) to bring more fun color to this area of the room -- apparently the curtains and lamp shade aren't enough for me! |
 |
| This is the pink sofa, covered in a light pink-purple blanket, with all of my Ikea pillows, and that odd maroon blanket that I hate the look of, but love the feel of. |
 |
| Well, I really need to get proper drawer pulls for the dresser that serves as a TV stand in the living room... the drawers are a fun blue-green, and the other color is the same "preppy" green as the walls. I call this dresser the "cheeseburger in paradise", because it reminds me of Key West and Jimmy Buffet. The top is still red, because I haven't been motivated to move the TV, VCR, Wii etc. to paint it. |
 |
| I love my globe ($8 at a thrift store!), and although I would rather have all of my favorite books on display (some of them are still there), I decided instead to display all of the books with white/cream/light blue spines to make it look a little cleaner. The little framed picture on top of the books will eventually be painted hot pink/lime green, I'm just waiting for a chance to go to IN to buy spray paint. Yeah, seriously, you can't buy spray paint in Chicago... |
 |
| My cat Olivia is terrified of that kitty pillow! This was the Xmas Chair, but today I finally got around to unraveling the four strings of lights I had wrapped around it for the last 3 months. I hung the phone on the wall, but need to do something with the cord. The brown door that you can see just a slice of will eventually be painted a very light, creamy yellow. |
