Changes

I have been working on a new project for a few weeks

and finally feel organized enough to share it with you.

I am updating my living and dining rooms...

on a very small budget.

Lots of DIY projects and

re-inventing what I already have.

From the very beginning of her career,

I have loved Sarah Richardson.

I feel like she grew up right in my TV.

From her Room Service days to the latest Sarah 101,

I have never seen anything of hers that I didn't want for my own.

Here are a few of my very favorite Sarah rooms...

I have seen her put together a room dozens of times.

She usually starts with fabric.

So that's what I did.

Here's what I came up with...

I still love red but I'm ready to phase it out.

My color palette started in my kitchen.

Blues, yellows and creams.

Believe it or not, all of the fabrics above (with the exception 

of the cheetah print) are under $10.00 per yard.

I found some wonderful 100% linen on eBay for $7.25 per yard

that I'm using for the window treatments. It's a beautiful cream color.

I have already painted over my yellow walls with a creamy white.

And I have a surprise for my IKEA pieces that I'll share later.

Now...

isn't this fun?

I hope to splurge on 2 of these beauties from Target.

I was shocked at the fun fabrics available on these slipper chairs.

Tons to choose from. This is a Duralee Thomas Paul print.

Pretty cool for Tarjay!

Every time I get stuck on something 

I look at google images of Sarah's rooms. 

Incredible inspiration.

She's helped me make most of my decisions and choices.

Of course I don't have the budget she usually works with.

But I'm a firm believer that you can get what you want,

for the right price.

It just takes a little more time and effort.

I'll keep you updated...

thanks for stopping by.
