Let's get funky!

I love a good deal. I love digging in baskets, and rummaging through old junk to find treasures :) I don't really like buying "new" things per se, however I do a lot of online browsing since I work 8 hours a day and I am not in the closest vicinity to many vintage/antique shops. Plus things are just too darn expensive when they are new lol! So instead of impulse buying online( which is so tempting at times), I have decided to gather up my ideas and creatively make a plan to find the things that will make our little home more "homey" :)  Let's take a little at a time.....starting with the living room    

1. lamp (s)
2. pillows for the couch ( I want a pop of color, but I can't decide what color!)
3. something to go over the couch.....cool mirror maybe?

Ideas are welcomed :) here is our current space........................

Entryway :  I found this wet-bar last year at my favorite antique place in Wetumpka, and Jason and I gave it a face-lift. It works as a good desk or bookshelf. I got the lamp there too :) The chest was found in my mom's garage and I love it. It's amazing how much these things cost if you were to buy one....... that is a treasure chest * no pun intended ;)*

Here George relaxes on the new new pin-stripped couch; This is our first purchase as a married couple:) We got the rug for a STEAL and the lamps are hand-me-downs. I love the coffee table, but Jason wants a wooden one..to make the room more ... manly? 

Being the lumberjack that he is .....

i suggested he build us one :)

I like............

these pillows......Etsy always has pretty things
But once again...they are neutral!!

 this lamp from ZGallerie.....something like this would be a great find

                Mirror from Restoration

We also thought about finding an old barn window and making it into a mirror.....

Then find other vintage mirrors to add to it........

Kind of like these but less pottery barnish and more old style?

As my husband sits across me singing along to commercials and eating a cheese and pickle roll up (and I know our pantry is not THAT empty) I realize that I must end my decorating rant and go get him some real food! I guess that is one down side to eating at 5:30....... You get hungry again around 9! Real World in 15..... Gotta love Jemmye. Bless her heart. 

P.s. I TOTALLY forgot to introduce Oscar........... Me and my best buddy have found a new love for owls here recently, and this little guy is going to be traded off as we see each other :) he seems to bring happy to the home :)
