This week flew by for me - I feel like it was ages ago that I did some organizing work for my Dad, but that was just Monday!
I've been doing lots of "inspiration grabbing" the past few days, to gear up for helping my Mom re-decorate her living room. We're not sure when it's going to happen, but I figured I might as well get some ideas going!
The room is a medium-sized addition, and has lots of interesting features like a bay window, wood floors, exposed brick, and ceiling rafters. This shot shows the exposed brick and the rafters, and the next shows the lovely bay window all covered up by some horrid blinds.
There are lots of things that have to be taken into consideration. My parent's house is divided up into three (pretty much equal) sections. They have the hallway where the bedrooms and bathroom are, then the kitchen/dining room, then this living room. Because this room serves so many purposes, there are lots of things to take into consideration. It is the piano room, the library, the tv room (thank goodness for pretty tv storage! I love my mom's tv cabinet), the office, and the playroom for Emma and her cousins. Whew! That's one busy room!
I'm hoping to come up with some easy, cheap ideas to help get the room organized and functional. My mom and dad did a huge kitchen renovation a few years ago, and I'm hoping to help them bring their living room up to that beautiful kitchen's standard.
Stay tuned for inspiration photos!
I don't think you're supposed to call anything your parents house horrid, at least not until its out of the house. (thats our rule for family members anyway)
