On A Scale of 1-10...

How well do you like this comforter?  I'm in the market for a new one.  I refuse to paint my walls beacuse 1- I hate to paint and 2- I still like the color.  It's light blue, which I hope would match the color in this comforter.  I'm looking for something with lots of color, opposite the black/white/gray theme I have now.  My furniture came over on the ark with Noah and is black. If you beg me you master crafters, I might just let someone paint it some bright random color, too. But only if you beg me. ;)  By the way- what do I do for a bedskirt here?  Because I will need one.  In my dream world, I want to totally re-decorate my master bedroom and include a sitting area.  I'd love a cute chair and little table against the wall, facing the tv. 
We'll start with a comforter though...

Dreaming of Chevron

Where are those questionnaires, ladies?  Let's go, now!  Chop Chop!!

So, I've been in the "I want to rearrange furniture and redecorate my whole house" type of mood lately.  It all started when I sent a big plant from my foyer to the curb...literally.  I never watered it, it was ugly, completely dried up, and frankly I just didn't want it in my house any longer.  In taking out the plant, I'm left with an entire corner of my foyer empty.  The space looks so much bigger now, and I just want to redecorate the entire area! Here are pictures of what I'm dealing with.

 

I've had the black table since I moved in.  It used to be under the mirror, but it left the doorway to the kitchen a little crowded.  I decided to move it to it's current location and it makes the area much more open.  Also, I always wanted a lamp on top of the table, but there wasn't an outlet on that wall.  Now that I've moved it to where you see it above, I do have an outlet.  I will be getting a cute lamp to go in my entryway asap.  I think it would be good to add some height. I'm thinking about moving the black corked cabinet door over the light switch and painting a canvas with my favorite verse on it to go over the black table.  I also want a round chevron rug to go in the doorway.  I need something large to cover the majority of the floor because some freak of nature person thought white laminate flooring was the way to go back then.  It is super hard to keep clean and regardless of how often I mop, it just looks dirty to me. Next issue....the wall with the mirror looks empty with nothing below it now.  There isn't enough space for another table or shelf.  Do I leave it or what other options do I have?  I'm open to suggestions.  So, all you Martha Stewarts and Candance Olsen's, hop on it!

I'm in Need of some Serious Help!

Here are two pictures of my living room. ***These were taken a couple weeks after I moved in. Thankfully, I have added more things to the wall, adorned the coffee table, and addressed that super boring mantle. Behind the couch is a really pretty piece of furniture that belonged to my grandmother that I LOVE and am so thankful was passed on to me. Other than the obvious elephant in the room, I like my little cozy leisure area. Can you guess what the problem is?

That's right- the TV wall. I am the most symmetrically minded person you'll meet. What's on one side I like to have on the other. I love my table from Hobby Lobby that I purchased for the TV (although you can't see the detail in the picture), but looking back, it's just not the right piece for this space. I've thought about a wall gallery of pictures around the television, but chickened out because I was afraid one would hang crookedly...and we just can't have that, folks. I thought about a chair on one side, but then thought I would still fret on what to put on the wall behind it. There is no other place for the TV, so moving it is no option. So, I'm calling on all seasoned decoraters, amateur decorators, and decorator wannabes.....I NEED YOU! I'm soliciting any and every idea you have to make this boring wall match what I feel like is the rest of my finished and tranquil living area.

Ready? GO!
