introduction

I decided to finally write a blog!  I love to decorate and re-decorate my home and thought it would be fun to share all of my adventures in a blog (rather than bore all of my friends on facebook).  I am going to share the rooms of my house one at a time and try to delve into all the little details as I go.  I may also share some kid photos along the way, because let's face it, my kids and their things are everywhere most days!  I am not perfect, my house isn't always clean or tidy and I don't hold any degree or anything in design.  I just like to decorate as a hobby and I love to give design advice or ideas if I can!  I also love to hear feedback or ideas that you have for my home as well.  A lot of my stuff is second-hand or repurposed and it's partly because I am cheap and partly because I love to add my own spin on things. 
First things first.  Why not begin in the entry-way and living area of my main floor?  This is the view from the living room:
