Show Us Where You Live

<


Because I just can't help myself when it comes to decorating, I'm participating in Kelly's blog carnival. I love, love, love decorating and my entire house is a constant work in progress. Drives my man mad but provides me endless amounts of entertainment!

Today we'll be taking a tour of the living room and, because I'm not sure if we'll be doing offices separately and the fact that ours is adjoined to the living space, I've included pics of that as well.

Let's dive in!


Looking into the living area from the kitchen

My great-grandmother's pie safe. Love it - when I was a kid I had it in my room with collectible dolls but now it houses the good china we never use. It's actually my great-grandmother's china so it's a good fit!

Over in the corner you'll find another family heirloom (the shelf) that holds my collection of angels. Willow Tree, Lladro and dime store...I love any type of angel.

The flash was reflecting on the glass but this is a drawing of Macedonia Baptist Church, a little church back in the woods of Louisiana where I grew up.

It's not very clear but the balls in the vase are feather covered. I love anything feathered or covered in animal print.


Our fireplace

A curio cabinet that mainly holds Dave's Texas A&M memorabilia and bull riding mementos. 

Told you I love animal prints! These giraffe print pillows are one of my favorite items in the room.

Oil painting over the couch. It's another Louisiana scene.

Looking into the (tiny) entryway
Television armoire
Love this new piece on the mantle. I got the glass piece at Ross on clearance for $6.99 and the potpourri and decorative balls were 1/2 off at Hobby Lobby. Some are feathered and one is even giraffe print.
Dave's giant Texas star. My parents gave it to him one year for his birthday and it's one of his favorite possessions. Ever.
My mom gave me this candle stand and I got the cool candles 1/2 off at Hobby Lobby.


A certain someone really wanted you to see her lime green chair!

This is who you'll most likely find lounging in the office. The girls like to spend their time outside. Not this guy - he loves to sleep the day away.

Looking into the office area

Social media central

I love this red lampshade and the box on the table has a Texas star carved into it. Gotta love being married to a bullrider from Texas, right?

This is actually the center section of the curved couch. Put together it is gigantic. This is only a rent house and we'll be moving once Tay finishes elementary school so we were thinking about the great room we want in our next house when we bought it. The loveseat size works great here, though. As you've already seen, Bo loves it!

I love these curtains. This room is octagonal and has smaller windows above the regular windows all the way around. It's great for natural light.

Thank you for touring our living area. Next week is children's bedrooms. Luckily, I took a bunch of Tay's room when we redecorated earlier this year so I have those in the bag and can do the post on time :-)
