living room makeover reveal...finally...

Hi and Happy October!

When I shared my den makeover last week I gave you a little peek into the living room which recently received a makeover as well...

I am glad you came back this week to see my living room makeover!  Unless I find a piece that I just can't live without, this room is pretty much done.  I do want a new area rug ~ I just can't make up my mind which one.  I'm sort of leaning toward a textured, medium grey one I saw at Home Depot.

I didn't spend a lot of money on this makeover (are you reading this Jim?) and I didn't change too much either.  I just painted the walls the same grey that I used in my master bedroom, bought a slip cover for my chair, added a few new pillows and accessories as well as a few new vintage finds.

Here is an idea of what the room looked like before...

Here is a view of the room from the den (I shared that makeover here)...

I feel the grey warmed up the room and I love the look of my whites against it...

Those two pillows are new ~ the one with the button I got at Homegoods and the other my friend and fellow Shop Girl Jeannie made for me from an old scrap of fabric I found at a flea market this summer...

Thank you again Jeannie ~ I love it!!

The chippy, old blue~green ladder is one of my latest vintage finds from the shop and goes perfectly with my new pillows...

I added a few Fall touches to my mantel last week...

Nothing new here, just used what I already had...pieces I love...

Anyone else love little white pumpkins?

The old ladder is another favorite vintage find from the shop...

I covered the chair with a Simply Shabby Chic slipcover from Target and added a new pillow there too...

I want to hang a little something over the chair, just don't know what yet!  Oh and there's my new grey pumpkin I found at Marshalls...

I need to bring my blue~green accent color to the other side of my room with some new pillows...

I sold my old chippy white shutter at the shop and bought an old chippy grey one.  The end table used to be in my master bedroom...

I bought the lamp and shade at Walmart separately...

I really love this room and the cozy, comfortable feeling it gives me.  Although I can't get too comfortable since we will be starting a bathroom makeover in a few weeks after camping season ends.

Just one of the many Fall/Winter projects I have planned!

I finally joined Instagram!  I haven't posted much yet but if you'd like, you can follow me here.

Thanks so much for stopping by ~ have a wonderful weekend!

summer favorites at the shop and a sneak peek at my living room makeover...

Thought I would pop in and share some of my favorite treasures I've spied this summer at the Wrentham Country Store!

First was this sweet old camping stool that I wish I bought.  It would have been so cute with some pretty retro fabric to brighten up my glamper...

Yes, I am still having a wonderful time camping with family and friends by the lake ~ life is good!

I also loved this old dresser, it would have looked perfect in my den or living room against the grey walls!  It's gone now...

What I did get was this rusty old bucket from my own booth and the wonderful old ladder from Jeannie's booth...

...oh and here's a little peek at my recently painted grey living room...

I'm still trying to add the finishing touches, hoping flea market season will do the trick!

Speaking of flea markets, I did find this pretty piece of fabric that I might have made into a pillow for my love seat...

I love the pretty blues and greens, they compliment my dried hydrangeas.  It even has a hint of my love seat color so I thought it would help blend it into the room and add some interest.  What do you think...

Speaking of pretty blues, I am in love with this sweet dresser at the shop and want to squeeze it in somewhere in my house...

I probably shouldn't hesitate according to the sign at the shop...

Have you heard that the Wrentham Country Store is giving away a gift certificate each month during the summer?  If you live local please stop by the shop, browse around to see what's new...a few of the Shop Girls have moved their spaces and we also have a few new Shop Girls!  While you are there, fill out an entry form ~ you just may be lucky enough to win a $100 gift certificate to the shop!

Thanks for stopping by ~ enjoy your weekend!!

pretty painted mason jars...

Just popping in to say hi and to share my new favorite treasures, pretty painted mason jars...

...a thoughtful gift from a friend (thank you xo).

I am slowly putting some finishing touches on my living room/den makeover.

Having too much fun enjoying life by the lake at my campground!

I promise to share the rooms real soon!

Thanks for stopping by!

old cape cod...

Did I ever tell you where I met my husband?

I spent my summers growing up "down the cape",

in a sweet, tiny cottage with two of my cousins and my Nana.

Our parents would come and stay on the weekends and the best memories were made...

Jim and his family lived up the street.

We started "going together" when we were 15 and have been together ever since...

When I saw an old framed map of Cape Cod at the shop (thank you Robin!) I knew it would fit in perfectly somewhere in my living room makeover that I started last Fall...

The living room is still not quite finished and ready for the final reveal, but I thought I would share my small entry way.

A little tribute to where our story started.

We spend our summers now not too far from where we first met!

Thank you for stopping by and enjoy the holiday weekend!
