So excited to have my living room drapes finally finished. Such a tedious project but they turned out so great! Love how they look with my freshly painted lamp.

Living room Lamp redo...
Do you have one room in your house that just BUGS you? I do. It's the living/family room. It is just such an awkward space that I've had a hard time figuring out what to do with it. There is no solid wall in the whole room. There is the cut out/window thing into the dining room.
Then looking the other way is bathroom, coat closet, stairs and front door.
Then two windows and a electric baseboard heater that means you can't put any furniture by the window.
I've ignored this room for months and just sigh when I walk thru it (a hundred times a day). But now I'm doing something about it and I'm starting with the green lamp.
This is the before after I already took it apart.
I sprayed on 2 coats of BIN primer.
Followed by three light coats of Rust-oleum Night tide in gloss. Love! I may recover the shade in white so that it will pop against the wall. It just kind of blends in.
Now for the rest of the room!

Office/Craft room tour...
I got my wisdom teeth out a few days ago so I'm been missing from the internet. Get you wisdom teeth out when you are like 18 not in your 30's after you've had a bunch of kids. I'm sure it's way easier if you have your Mommy to take care of you plus you won't have to watch Dora cartoons. It was awful but at least it's over!
I'm declaring the office/craft room finished! I love it. The kids love to sit and color at the table and it's been great for homework and sewing projects too. The corner desk is awesome. The best thing is that I can do quick paint touches whenever a certain toddler makes a scribble somewhere.
The walls are Sherwin Williams sea salt. The rug is from Lowe's and I got it on clearance for $20. The curtains my Mom made and the fabric is Amy Butler Love from here.
Other details:
Magnetic chalkboard
Corner desk
