I had a decorating breakdown the other day.
I came to the realization that I hated my family room. It was WAY too dark.
I then went into a spray painting trance. I literally turned anything in my front room that was green to white or black.
I added white lampshades everywhere and got rid of my cream ones.
I painted my ugly brown mantle white. It is still ugly, but now it's ugly white.
I sewed a white table cloth and added white pillows to my chair.
I sewed a new navy and white curtain and valance.
I started at one point of the room and am working my way right. I forgot to do before and after shots (remember, I was in a trance), but I did happen to find one photo of before.
New cushions for my chairs:
My new curtain and valance:
