feeling Springy...


And getting tired of the "muted" colors throughout the family room.  Looking to bring some Spring into the decor...
in the name of pink and orange!
Nabbed these little seats at the Salvation Army...great for extra seating and love the orange!
See that rug??  Pretty, but lots of red, gold and persimmon...and very busy pattern.   Just not crazy about the floor being the main focal point of the room.  So...it's getting a new home in the master bedroom.

In its place, this nice neutral grey rug from Home Depot!   A great deal...it could be ordered in different sizes and three different colors.  The big 10'x13' I ordered was just under $300 and delivered for free to my doorstep.
Grey/Ivory and Gold/Ivory
(also comes in Brown)

Had some pink greek key fabric on hand so whipped up a couple of pillows...


Worked a little magic on a pair of $6.00 Ikea pillow covers with
some orange grosgrain ribbon and Stitch Witchery (new BF).   The only tricky part was the mitered corners, but basically anybody with an iron can do this!






Finished up the week by gluing on some hot pink ribbon trim to new chandelier shades...


It's starting to feel much Spring'ier!!  More pictures to come as the room comes together!
