Blah blah blah, Big Foot...

This is our living room. Well, this week anyways. I have this nervous tic that causes me to rearrange things monthly... at least. But I think this time I almost love it. I can almost leave it alone.

My camera has ghost-radar, so you'll have to ignore the floating sun spirits...  No big thang.

This table was purchased via Craigslist. It has a lovely story that goes along with its purchase featuring 2 hour-long drives, a house in the backwoods of Pasadena, a shirtless mystery man with lots of tats, a tattoo artist, bribe money, 2 ragamuffins, and some Windex.

Clint took me to one of my most favoritest of places this weekend (IKEA!!!) to purchase these peonies and the white table tray. And maybe 2 hotdogs, a large Pepsi, and a bag of Norwegian chips for under $5 (and there would have been frozen yogurt purchased if it hadn't been for a mechanical malfunction). But seriously, IKEA is the stuff dreams are made of, don't chya think so?

This little grouping is covering up some massive plugs leading to the back of the TV. It is the only part of the room I can't quite figure out. Any suggestions?





In other news-- I guess I have always known this, but this image just settles it...

Our future babies are gonna be HOT!

(FYI: The pic of Clint is during last night's haircut. He had no shirt on, so naturally I pixellated his chest for decency's sake. And because with all the hair I cut from his head now lying on his chest, he kinda looked like a yeti with a really cute face.)

I would love feedback from any and everyone regarding the living room. I feel so close to being done, but I know there is something missing. Curtains, for example. But what kind? And an area rug would be nice, but there are just so many out there. Unfortunately I have expended our decorating budget. It started at zero and it has now drifted into the negatives. So, I gots ta find it cheap. And by that I mean on the side of the road...

  1. Yes, you will have adorable babies. obvi.

    Things I really like in this room:
    The books are cute. I really love the picture set-up. Artsy and adorable. Perfect table decorating. Cute cute.

    However, I'm not digging the clock, because right next to the TV it makes the room feel weighted with square-ness in one corner, especially with all the pics on the wall. The clock detracts from the lovely arrangement. I think it would be pretty much perfect without the clock. Just my opinion.

    I don't think you need anything else but curtains. The other day, a friend of mine moved out of his apartment and I got his curtains. Brilliant. I think Hilary W. had some red curtains in her apartment if I remember correctly, and she's moving. Maybe ask her? Good luck!

  2. I say ditch the books and just get some cute plant to put there...but that's just me. Looks a bit cluttered with all the books and stuff...but again you do a much better job than myself at the rest of the decorating!

  3. Thank you Amy and Anonymous (who are you?! I am dying to know ;)). I think those are great ideas. I'm getting a plant to replace the clock...
