Family Room Reveal!

I finally have a finished room.  Sorry that it took so long.  I finished the room just in time for Christmas but after I packed up all the Christmas stuff the room was really bare and I realized that I needed to add quite a few more accessories before it was going to feel finished.  Being that I do live in the country now and I am on a limited budget well you know that takes some time.  I was able to use my creativity and some of my thrift store finds to pull this room together.  It is such a great blessing to finally be done moving into our new home.  The bottom line is that home projects are never done but at least I can say that we are comfortable now and settled.  My husband wants to start working on the outside patio but for now I think that I will enjoy the bliss of not being caught up in something.  It has been so weird walking around a completed home and not feeling the pressure of unfinished projects.   I must say that I almost don't know what to do with myself. The room has come a long way so of course I have lots to share.

Watch your step but first notice the new hallway lights!  Even though I was trying to think outside the box with the mason jar lights I like these a lot better.

Love the new sectional.  Merry Christmas to us!!

 I adore this shutter awning!

Here are some of my favorite accessories that I added into this room......

I cut and painted this wooden shelf for my t.v. to sit on above the mantel.

 I cut this door in half and hung it to the wall and added three mirrors and some burlap to bring texture into the room.

 This wreath was a steal for only a few dollars at the thrift store.  I did have to remove the old ugly fake flowers and sand some of the glue off but it was super easy.  I stained a few of these baskets to add warmth to the bookshelf.  Wow, I really need to add to my collection of books in order to fill that baby up.  I may paint the wood on the wall in the bookshelf a different color down the road.

 The best find for the room because it was free and from a friend!

 I was able to replace the original screen with this find from an antique store and I got the tools for the fire place from thrifting. I still need a few tools to complete the sets. 

 This mirror was another score!  Only $20.00!

 Cute little signs found on shopping trips and ....

a custom hand painted sign.  We sorta have a bird theme going on in our home so it fits!

See....

Love those hand embroidered pictures.  I can't believe I got to rescue them for next to nothing!

 Since our dog isn't allowed on the new couch she got a new bed.  The basket was another thrifty find and I made the bed for her out of free fabric that I also got from the friend that have me the rocker!

Take a look again at where this room started!  I am so amazed and thankful that this transformation is complete!

For the last year I have been so consumed with moving and remodeling that the direction of my blog has really  become a before and after diary.  I really hope that you have had fun sharing the adventure with me and I hope that you may have been inspired along the way.  I am looking forward to getting back to work and building my business again.  I am so grateful to all the friends that I have met along the way and I appreciate all the support that I have gotten!

Thanks again for a great year!
