The Swing of Spring

~~~INSPIRATION ROOM~~
The colors I would Like to work with this year are
Cream, Blue, Gold & Green
Redo of the brightest room in my house

(The picture Below Is NOT my home
But the style Is Do-able in my small 16x24foot front room MINUS The Huge coffee table!)Of course I could NOT have my furniture set in the center of the room
We'll have to see where they end up

Spring Is Here!
You know what that means!
As The Seasons change
So does my diet & Interior of my home
It's 15 mins till noon on a bright Wednesday
Suppose to hit around 85 degrees today & I'm inside Trying to Figure out
What my living room is transforming into
It is time for a Fresh New Spring/Summer approach

Many of you know, If I can not remake it for cheap to Free
I will not do it

NEEDS Vs. WANTS
I'd like the interior of my home to reflect me
But I feel as though the front entry room should be Simplistic, Breathable Comfy, Cozy Yet Active
Something that inspires Movement & Coffee Time
Maybe a reading zone section?
I Love the colors together, 
(Accent wall will be neutral creamy yellow & the remaining 3 walls Satin White)
*I Need a platform that Looks Clean and Stays Looking CleanEven when it has 12 people running around.
I Need Function as well as Beauty
I Need easy to move & Remove
I do not WANT dust makers or Collectors
And I want my front windows to be a View point!
After my hard work on the front yard
Looking out the front windows will be So Beautiful!

*Therefore, Knowing what I do what & what Will Not work
For my lifestyle
So far this is what I've come up with 

Cream and Not White
White Never survives in my home

(This couch picture is NOT of my own couch
The picture is used just to jot down the ideas I'm Looking for)

I have 2 Short sofas
I will be out looking for creamy Grandma Style Knit blankets
To make Couch covers out of.
I can get the blankets for $1 or less!
Easy!
The Throw pillows I bought a few weeks ago
for the dining room table chairs will Work Perfectly
For the new LookI'll recover some other throw pillows for the dining room Later

~~MY FRONT ROOM~~

My front room is Literally the size of a 1970's doctors waiting room
Very small
So I love this Planter Idea!
Keeping the boxes Up off the ground
Easy to mop & move around
( I Hate Dust & dog hair on the floors)
Maybe using a cream colored paint to stay with the accent colors.
Could go Gold, but to much color in this room makes it Feel really crowded
But the Green accents in this room will be supplied by Plants
(More than Likely Tall Grasses)

For the Walls I am Looking for Mirrors
Greek style Gold accents

 

For the cost of about 500 pennies
A Copper accent is easy to make!
I think I'll give it a go!

Whatch think is the Idea coming together?
Is it feeling Fresh & Breezy?
I think So!
Let's consider the floor!
I'd Love to get that White marble Laminate tile back
It was so Pretty & Durable
But I do not have funds for flooring,
Even a do it yourself style
OH HECK NO!
I'd start and Never Finish!

~Floors~
I would LOVE to rip out this Wooden look floor
But then that means Paying for the new tile I'd like to install

Well, Just can't do that
I've seen the Brown paper bag DIY flooring project
Yey For you to figure that out & To have the Energy to stick with such a Project

DIY Brown paper bag flooring

But Honestly HECK NO!

Way to much for my Add!
So the floors are staying to my husbands Relief
So As I sit here Dreaming on this Wednesday
It's time To Empty out this room.
An Empty room gets done faster
Than a room still decorated.

Since I'm Not going to go to $ Days at the Local Goodwill
Anytime soon
I think I'll get busy on removing the shelves
And Get started on Collecting those shiney pennies!
