house tour: living room (autumn edition)

I told you guys I was going to "cozy up" my living room for the winter season so I did. I have a small budget so I couldn't do a lot but I think I like it better than I had it before. The only thing I miss is my old chair (reupholster's regret). I don't like the blue and I think the old fabric would have looked great with this new arrangement. Oh well. You live and learn.

I was lucky enough to pick up the frames on the wall for $4.99 a piece (regularly $19.99 each) at Last Chance on my short trip to Arizona. Unfortunately I only bought five so I had a weird empty spot on the wall which I ended up filling with this plate. Then I just switched out some pillows for the ones in the guest bedroom and made the green chevron one out of some fabric I had in my stash. Small changes make a big difference.

Once Christmas time rolls around I'll be moving the blue leather chair to where the light blue chair is (which is moving to the guest bedroom) to make room for our tree in front of the huge window. Our front window is easily the best feature in the house. It's going to be so fun to drive up in the evening and see the tree light up. I'm really excited for the holidays but that's nothing new!
