...saturday's 2-minute makeover...

6.04.2011
If you've been reading this blog for a little while, you may remember me talking about trying to de-brown my living room...everything was brown. Brown, brown, brown, brown & brown...

So, in an attempt to lighten things up, I started adding a lot of lighter (mostly white) accents...which I adore...but, apparently I become blind to my own decorating & I started to over-do it again...

My husband, with so much love and tact says to me last night..."Honey...please don't take this the wrong way. I'm not commenting on your decorating style. I just have a question...do you think things are starting to look too white in here? A little washed out maybe? Could we maybe add a little color?"

Isn't he the best? He knows me so well...he broached that subject perfectly...

And, I'll be damned...you know what? He was soooooo right...

I stepped back and decided I needed to do something...quickly...so I went shopping...in my basement...

Here we are with the before:

One quick pillow switch & a couple of flowers and POW! ZOOM! PRESTO CHANGE-O!

The after:

 I think it looks a whole lot better...the black and white damask is so bold & really stands out and kind of updates the room...the pink flowers are (in my opinion) the perfect splash of color...

2 minutes...a whole new room...love.
Now...about that carpeting...honey?
