Inspired

After spending Labor Day weekend decorating my house with the few fall decorations I own, I felt like our house was still too blah. Jake and I have been talking about finally painting, but we haven't decided on any colors yet (ugh it's so hard to choose!). I felt like our walls and rooms needed some extra oomph so I enlisted my good friend Stacie, whose house is gorgeous, to take me to all of her favorite bargain places for some new home decor (Marshalls, Kirkland, JoAnns).

How had I not known about these places before? It was a blast!!! And I only spent around $250 (this includes some of those Fall decorations you just saw).

Here are some of my new pieces. LOVE!

Here's our front door on the inside. I actually haven't figured out where to put this piece. I didn't buy it with Stacie, but it's taken me 2 years to nail up!

This is our living room before (boring walls!)

Pow! This is it after with a couple of great red flower pictures! Now I'm inspired to buy some red knick-knacks, candles, throw pillows, or a throw blanket.

We got this vase for the ground. I need to get some long reeds/twigs to put in it (maybe red or white colored).

Picked out this rod iron number for above the TV. Didn't love it. But it goes great over our kitchen window. Yes, I know I need curtains desperately. I'm so curtain challenged.

Couple of sconces for the stairway. I only had 1 candle, so it's back to the store I go!

We got all brand new bedroom furniture. And no bedding yet that we love. But I LOVED this "Family Tree" piece. Wish those windows weren't there.

Half bathroom downstairs needed something. My next shopping excursion I'm buying matching towels for this.
