Living Room!

Hey Y'all!

Hope everyone has been wonderful and inspired to decorate on the cheap, since that's how I do! The living room is all decorated and would have been posted with pictures sooner, but I was hesitant of posting since we are about to remove the carpet for hardwood floors within the next few weeks. This room was the first room we painted the day we closed on our house, and I was such a happy camper to get a paint roller to these white walls. The walls are Chateau by Behr, but the mantle (which I am THRILLED about) was kept white for some pop in the room. This room is cozy, and was almost a selling point for us (in a negative way). We knew how much smaller it was compared to our apartment living room, but the rest of the place won us over, and we downsized from having two couches & a chair to just one couch. Like I said, it's cozy :) But it's the perfect size for the two of us, and guest can hang out in the dining room, since that's where the good stuff is (the food!)

Hello, fireplace! I hope I can light you up this Winter! :)

The background picture was one of my favorite antique shopping finds when I went with my friend Lindsay around the time I was turning 25! We found this at a little hole in the wall, and she talked me in to buying it! Best $24 dollars spent for this mantle! The tiles were purchased months ago at a flea market in Hurst ($2.75 total) and it's our anniversary date!

Sherry bought me a bag full of M's for my 25th birthday, and this one I painted red & added white swirls!

Thanks to my friend Sarah (who did all the flower arrangements at my wedding), I was able to keep my flowers to remember that special day :)!

I added some other colors up there so it wasn't overboard w/ the red & teal. The yellow flowers are from TJMaxx, blue candle from a thrift store for $1 & brown crate from a flea market for $3.

That's all folks! 

P.S- If anyone has a question about where to go thrifting, the story behind something, or any other suggestions, let me know! I never really know what to say about my home, haha, so input would be good!
