The before and after…the living room hang space.
Picture me running, panting for air, calling upon that last burst of energy as I exhaustedly, yet exhilaratingly break the tape that reads “Makeover Marathon”! Okay, that was a bit dramatic, but really, it was quite the journey.
Not only was it mixed with familial mixed emotions (the funds came courtesy of my father’s will), it also placed my disclaimed, “budding designer” know-how under a blogger’s spotlight that left me at times, uncharacteristically nibbling at my fingernails.
Yes, this journey was not only one I took online and on foot, sourcing and bargain hunting and buying…it was one that tested my resolve to express myself artistically and even expose the underbelly of my self-educated choices. So, with that, I humbly invite you into our newly redesigned, made-over living room space. Now, someone hand me some Vitamin Water!

The inspiration for the color palette was a basket of yarn I was using to make a new knitted throw…here’s how far it’s come. Now that I’m finished with this space, I might be able to finish the blanket. Klunkers has been quite patient.

Okay…I’m ready. Give it to me straight. I’d love to hear your thoughts (hopefully keeping in mind that I’m still a budding, yet sensitive designer!).
