I love seeing "reveals" or "makeovers" so last night after my hubby did the hard part of hanging the rods he went down to his man-cave while I cleaned up and put everything together. It was so fun "revealing" the final product! It is also amazing at what some finishing touches will do.
Here is a picture of our living room pre-crown (one wall was done and we had painted), pretty much move-in stage:
Here is what it looked like when we looked at the house (previous owners):
Here is the current state as of today:
Found a pair of mirror lamps at a boutique yesterday and was exactly what I was looking for at a great price! |
My Grandma Burnett crosstiched this a long time ago and the blue accents are perfect in our living room. I love seeing things that have sentimental value! |
We made our own brackets/rods with stuff from Lowes (love that place). |
Other angle... |
Close up of the "picture wall" |
The lighting was really difficult to get the colors to show realistic, but this is pretty close. |
Finials/rod/bracket/rings: $101
Curtains: $24 (only $12 a panel!! Super clearanced on JCP.com and a LONG 108" which is a hard length to find).
Pictures: $40 ($20 each)
Lamps: $80 ($40 each)
Mentos for a good lil' shopper in the checkout lane: .98 cents (priceless) :)
Grand Total: $245.98
Saving just over $1600...not too shabby? I joked with my hubby that I think I'll get more ridiculous quotes because it makes whatever I spend look really good after such sticker shock. Muuwahahah...he is a good sport. :)
Gorgeous Sarah! You have such a talent for decorating. I love how sophisticated the whole room looks all put together. The wall sconces are beautiful too. And the picture wall is nice with the C. I really love the curtains and the paint color. Okay, I love it all. Come do my living next? Pretty please? :) You should have been an interior designer. Maybe you could get your own savy designer show on HGTV! great job.
