Progress on the Living Room

 
The living room has a new area rug!
 
I found it at Target last week.
 
On clearance, plus $15 off.
 
Had to get it, right?
 
 


It has a nice little texture.
 
Kind of a bland color, but I've got so much going on in there.
 
It's a place for the eye to rest.  Or so they say on HGTV!
 



Since I was in the rug shopping mode, I decided to find a new one for the entry.  Home Depot, also on sale.
 
This one isn't bland or boring.
 

 
 
I love our living room.
 
It's not very big.
 
But it's a great place to
  get away from the TV and read or think or plan.  Everyone needs a little quiet spot.
 
 
 
 
It's the home of some of my favorite things.
 
 
 
 
Pictures of my grandparents and my kids.
 
 
 
 
A crocheted edging my great grandmother made and I had framed years ago.
 
 
 
 
 A picture of my mom as a baby ca.1922.
 





 
 


 
 
Pretty happy with the way it's turning out.
 
Our little sanctuary.

  3. Golly Sue, I just l♥ve the black and white check sofa and the black print chair..in fact the whole room just calls my name! I guess I need to start haunting Target more, I keep seeing people who found great deals on rugs there. The home depot rug is gorgeous!

  4. Hi there,
    Oh, I do love how your living room looks, and must feel.
    Peaceful, and tranquil.
    It's so nice to have little memories tucked into cabinets, and on shelves; to be enjoyed each and every day.

    Nice job!!!

  5. I love the new rugs! I've been. Looking for one for my dining room, but haven't come across one I like and can afford. Hope I can find something as nice.
