New Home Tour...the Living Room Edition!

OK friends today we are touring the living room at the "new to us" house.

Things are pretty much settled in here...so grab a drink and take a look around!


The walls are a caramel-taupe and match well with our area rug from the other house.  
When we acquired the house, this room had brown micro-suede curtain panels that matched well with our furniture, but I felt they made the room look too dark.
  I lightened them up by switching them out with lovely aqua coloured faux silk panels that I purchased for just $10/panel.
  A great bargain that made a huge difference in the feel of the room.



For extra storage I took the mirror off of this dresser that used to be in the office at the old house and turned it into a sofa table behind the loveseat.


I am quite thrilled to have this bookcase wall. 
 It provides great storage behind the doors and gives me plenty of space to decorate above.


This is the same furniture we had in the living room at the old house.  
And there is Sloan sneaking in on the action.




Oops...forgot to move the speakers from under the table before I took this photo!!


The buffet resides in the entryway here..for now. 
 It may get moved into the kitchen, but for now I'm liking it here.


This is the view from the entry.  


That's it for the tour of the living room.
Stay tuned for more "new to us" house tour later in the week!

Mirror, mirror - on the wall!

If you are a fan of The Creative Me and My McG on Facebook - last week you would have seen this sneak peek..


I scored two of these beauties last week at Homesense for $15.00 as the sticker clearly shows (actually I'm quite pleased with myself for getting such a great picture of the sticker without it being fuzzy - a new camera is on my Christmas wish list)..Anyway - back to the reason I was so excited about this find...We have pretty much finished the living room renovation, but I still had a HUGE blank wall above the couch...


I was looking for something different and had been on pinterest for awhile when I spotted these lovelies...

I knew my beauties would look lovely like these mirrors do...horizontal on the wall over my couch.  McG was a little skeptical because after all the mounting hardware that came on the mirrors was for a vertical hang.  But once I showed him these "pins" he could see the look I was going after.  My mirrors are smaller than those in the pictures above, but I really love the way they look in the room...





The are a lovely finish to our living room...for now (lol) - because, really is any room ever finished?!
