Yes, this is quite the combo room. One of the reasons why it is the last rooms to be posted. There were several projects that I had planned and I did finish some of them, enough to post pics at least. Here are the before and afters.
Before
After
Welcome to my living room. Taken from the doorway. The gray rug was the inspiration for the room.
From the corner that the TV is in.
From the couch.
From the dining room area.
This is our bookshelf/TV stand. I saw a picture on Pinterest where they used glass jars as picture frames and I loved it.
I saved glass jars for a while until I had different sizes and shapes, then I took my favorite pictures and had them printed in black and white.
I planned on using more mirrors to help the room appear larger, but for now, these are the mirrors that I have. This is also my attempt at a arrangement with flowers and sticks.
Our couch with our decorative wall. We found this curtain at Ikea and then today we bought molding at Lowe's, spray painted it black and cut it to form a frame around the curtain.
This was something that my aunt gave us shortly after Munchkie was born and I love it.
Welcome to my "Dining Room." The table was a coffee table that we cut the legs off of. We bought new legs for a few dollars and spray painted them black. I found one chair for $4.99 at Habitat for Humanity's Restore and painted that black. For now Munchkie's Daddy and I are using stools while we look for cheap, sturdy and perfect for us chairs to complete our set.
I saw a while back this super cute idea where someone used old lightbulbs, hung them and put flowers inside of them. I didn't have any lightbulbs, but I did have old spice jars. So I decided to use those. I put a couple faux rose petals in each one and then found some twigs outside.
Welcome to Chris's "study." I found two bifold doors, again at Habitat for Humanity's Restore, spray painted them gray today and Munchkie's Daddy hinged them together. I think that we need one more set of doors to fully cover his desk so that I don't have to see the piles of books.
There's enough room for him, although he doesn't necessarily agree. He calls it his dungeon.
So there is our multipurpose room. I still have several projects that I hope to complete in the near future, but it is definitely livable. Although this room has a lot going on in it, I still feel like there is plenty of room and we feel good spending time in it. If you notice, one thing that is not present in this room- toys. We have a new rule, toys stay in your room. I really like this rule.
