The fireplace mantle..... What can I say....I tried. Originally it was honey oak colored but I painted it white to match the Ikea cabinets that house T.V. components and knicknacks.
This is my couch area. As you can see, we like playing Wii....and I don't clean out my purse until it's too heavy to lift. Couch and tables are from Ivan Smith furniture. Throw pillows are from Ikea, Ross, TJ Maxx and Pier 1...and yes there are alot of them! Mirror is from target, frames are from TJ Maxx and the fabric is a curtain I cut up also from TJ Maxx. The empty frame should contain a "C", but I lost it :) The rug is a floor model from Paul Michael (incredible deal at $100---though I think it is too busy for the space). That wierd looking tray on the table is from goodwill. The black and white photos in the frames are from a local antique store.
This is the reading/grading papers area. The pictures on the shelf are made of fabric, a picture of sea turtles from a Life magazine, and a photo I took of some trash cans. The pillow is from Pier 1 and is the color inspiration for the room. The red chair is from Ivan Smith Furniture, the side table and ottoman are from Target, and the curtains I made all by myself. White candle holders and magazine box are from TJ Maxx and blinds are Levelor from Lowes.Now that I've shown you the first window into my home...I've got to know...what do you think?
See if you can name my style....because I still haven't been able to.
