So last Saturday my husband said this magical sentence...
"Let's get rid of the red couch."
What did I hear?
REDECORATE EVERYTHING!
So I gathered the semi old and made a completely new plan for the new.
From bold black and white and red and burlap I switched to blues and greys and creams and mercury glass. As I call it, Bold and Brilliant to Farmhouse Shabby Chic.
I started on it Saturday night by taking down the things I knew I wouldn't use and drawing up a new plan and playing on etsy and cleaning.
Sunday I started the buying. Let's just say it's a Pier 1 design scheme on a Walmart budget, but it's working. Walmart, etsy, and Walmart.com are the bomb. Oh and of course Zulily, can't forget Zulily. And The Interior Story here in town.
From Walmart and walmart.com I've gotten all new rugs, lamps for the living room and foyer, throw pillows, curtains, and floral.
From etsy I've ordered material for 3 other sets of curtains and a bench cushion, a pretty cool decal for the kitchen, and a vintage cow feed sack to recover a chair in the foyer.
Zulily. The neatest picture ever for this redo. 
For those who don't know, my Andy and his family used to be chicken farmers. I found it fitting.
Oh and I can't forget The Interior Story in town for my vases and new living room piece. Pictures of that will come after it's completely finished.
And now I'm repainting furniture with the ever fabulous chalk paint and making canvases to hang in the freshly redecorated master bathroom.
This is my first time using chalk paint. And now I'll need to find a support group for chalk paint addicts annonymous.
Yippy skippy.
So as I sit on the mountain of fur pillows and amongst the ceramics and the mess of decor still sitting on the table and the paint brushes, I can't wait to see the finished product.
A cozy cleanish house.
And now to find lamp shades and new dog bowls... Target maybe?
