Family Room Update

the family room overhaul continues!

i wish i could say that our family room project is complete, but i’m still tweaking all my decor.  i guess if i was done with all my decorating, then i would have very little to blog about.  so here is my latest update! the wall closest to my little office area was in desperate need of some decor.  i hung my white board project (here is the link to my blog post: white board) up as well as my chevron initial, j.  but some blank areas still existed and i just couldn’t find the perfect frame to balance it all out.  i’m afraid i’m a gal who gets on a mission and i search high and lo for the right object for my project. so, after looking at every frame at homegoods, pottery barn, world market, and many more stores, i realized that i have a few frames that with a little spray paint they would work nicely on my wall until i found exactly what i was looking for. so, i decided to spray paint them a color that matched my existing decor and now i’m pretty happy with the results.  here is a peek at what i have so far but, i want to thank you so much for stopping by!

my posts this week will include:  

wednesday ~ my husband’s antique bottle collection

friday ~ my latest inspirations

saturday ~ my triumphant battle with our neighborhood deer pruning my rose bushes

the frame to the right is what i originally had and the one to the left is the one that i initially painted and didn’t like on the wall.  it was way too busy for the space.  so, i went with a solid color and it matched the color in the letter, j.
