Little Updates to Our Living Room

 

When it comes to our house—especially our living room, I’m forever adding, taking away, fluffing, rearranging, and editing.  Do you feel the same way?  Hopefully, you don’t get tired of seeing my little changes.  Personally, I eat this stuff up when it comes to other people’s blogs.  So, here are the latest changes and additions I’ve made to our family’s main hangout:

I restyled our bookcases—again.  It was just never quite right, but after the addition of more white pieces mixed with some texture and a little green, I’m feeling better about it.  (Btw, I find that it helps to take everything off and start all over when I’m restyling.)

I have a lot of old family pictures that I dropped in this glass cylinder:

And, since I didn’t have enough milk glass for all of the shelves, I grabbed some glass candlesticks and a small vase and sprayed them white.  Spraying them with a flat paint gave them a similar milky look.

Stupid book title?  Just flip it so the pages show instead :)

I also added some punches of black and white with these large chevron pillows (from Etsy).

I hung these two pieces of art together that I bought at the flea market:

And, I’m thinking of adding a collection of baskets on top of the bookcases, so I’m testing this one out for now:
