Living Room D&R Project

We closed on our first home back in April 2007 and then got engaged in May 2007, so ALL of our extra money went towards paying for wedding stuff and my poor new house was neglected for two whole years till we finally got married in March 2009. So now that we are all good and married, I'm on the ball with my home decoration/renovation projects....first project = the LR/DR/Kitchen areas (they are all connected). The LR is finally done, here are some before and afters:

Before - with previous owner's stuff:

Check out the plain walls, empty LR, and UGLY curtains!

And voi-lah (sp?) our LR now - paint is Duron Mocha, Tables (including entryway) are from the Target Dolce Collection, Entertainment Center is South Shore and area rug are both from BJ's, Curtains from World Market, Throw Pillows/entryway rug from Target, floating shelves from Kohls.*These are from the memorial table @ our wedding...wanted to incorporate them into the LR somehow (middle one is prof. pics of my lil bro and me and my sisters)*

*DIY centerpiece with material from left over wedding stuff & Michaels*

*This is a key/knick-knack holder I DIY'ed based on a fellow Nestie's DIY project*
