Living Room Remix

If you like change like I do, you get bored of your home every six months, pretty much on the dot.  Since moving wasn't in the cards this time, I decided to mix things up a little bit.  There are so many little easy and cheap things you can do to change things up in your home.

First of all: Declutter

Getting rid of odds and ends that you don't really need (or don't need out where everyone can see) makes SUCH a huge difference in the way your place looks.

Accent Pillows

They are so easy to change and inexpensive if you buy fabric on sale or clearance.  I took all my mismatched pillows and made 4 faux leather covers for them.  I LOVE them!

Picture Collages/Big Statement Pictures

You can tell I'm a photographer when you walk in my house because I hang photos EVERYWHERE.  They are inexpensive when you buy frames secondhand and get your pics printed online.  I actually really like this online company when they have deals going.  Just don't print at Costco or Walmart, unless you don't care how they look I guess.  It is fun to be able to change them with the seasons.

Accent Lighting

I actually just bought these paper lanterns secondhand for 50 cents each and strung white Christmas lights through them.  You can find all sorts of cool lamps in secondhand stores or yard sales.

There are still things I need to work on in this room...but for now I am happy with the changes.

What are some things you do to mix things up in your homes?

My Dream House: Theater/Game Room

If Trey knew I had some ideas of what I would like this room to look like he would be pretty annoyed.  We have a deal that I get to decorate the entire house how I like, but he gets full reign on the game room :)  I thought it was a pretty good idea...until he started talking about hanging sports blankets on the walls.  Lucky for me he never notices when I add a picture here, a rug there, so I think I might get away with a little decorating in the game room...and lucky for me he doesn't read my blog :)

How awesome is this pool table?  Totally something I would love but Trey would hate :)

I think he would go for darker colors like these following pictures:

I would much rather see his jerseys in nice frames like this than on him (especially when he insists on wearing them on the airplane to "represent" his team :)

I also love how this football picture is incorporated into the room and printed on canvas rather than a piece of paper tacked to the wall:

Cool way to do a projector screen:

Trey would love to have his theater room in the basement.  If so, I would love to have stairs with storage like these:

So, what so you think?  Can I get away with adding some of these feminine touches to a man cave???
