Make Your House Your Home

I wanted to post these few before and after photos of our home. You see, my boyfriend lived here all alone before and works out of town so he never felt the need to decorate this place. There was an oversized chocolate brown leather sectional in the middle of the livingroom when I moved in and I immediately had to ask if it could be moved into the "man cave" downstairs.  He agreed and the rest is history. (in the photos it's already downtairs)

I'm adding this post to show the difference a can of paint can do for 1 and the only things I purchased after moving are, the coffee table (craigslist $35), dresser and bookcase from the previous post, and the sofa table. The rest are items I already had and have had for many years and just found new ways to display them. Instead of going out and buying new things all of the time, try and reuse the items you already have and just move them around a bit. You'll be surprised.

I move rather quickly and I had this place painted and decorated the day the movers came. It's been since August and I've changed things around probably 4 times already (I get bored) but the way I have it now it the way I love it. It's a great unisex mix and I find it to be quite cozy. I hope you enjoy :)

The bedroom before I actually decorated. This was just after I moved in

The bedroom now... so crisp, clean and sleeps like a charm!
