A neglected corner of the living room no longer!

Before I get into details about my little makeover I would love to remind you that I have a little giveaway going on----I would LOVE it if you would enter it!!! 
 Click here to check out how to win a coffee sack! & possibly be featured on my blog!!!


Does anyone else have a corner of their living room or really anywhere in their house that has been a bit neglected????  

I sure do---in fact I have quite a few that all are just vying for my love and attention....
But lets face it I have only been in my new place for about a month and I think that the things I HAVE accomplished so far are just great.  
Soooo now I am finally getting around to the little forgotten and neglected but NOT overlooked or unloved areas of my home.

Starting here:


This little area has been changing a lot but just can't quite get situated... I realize that functional is needed---so the baskets are a must stay.  The table is one that I adore and since she fits so nicely she also gets to stay.  I must also point out the not-so-little-window I picked up two weeks ago for FREE at a garage sale----I have been wanting to do SOMETHING with it.... but I was not sure what until last night!  


Have you ever started decorating one area and then got overwhelmingly distracted by another?  That happened to me.  See I have another little decorating project going on but everything I was collecting for that area just happened to look better in this little living room area.....arrggghhhh!  Butt really I am happy to have this little area feeling less neglected and more like part of my beach-cottage themed living room like it should be.


I had really wanted to use those pictures somewhere else....butttt I kind of like them right where they are for now!  Anddd I have been wishing for a place to use that quote!


So a couple of eye hooks later and some ribbon, I found an easy way to hang the frames up----I am always interested in a way that allows for easy change---(I LOVE seasonal decor) so I thought this was a good way of keeping things simple!





Add a little vinyl and that is about it. 


Not bad for a quick little makeover right?!?!

If you missed the other corner of my living room---check out my mantle up-cycled from a cabinet here.

Also I am linking up here---check out these parties for amazing inspiration!

Wow, that window is such a good find! And for free at that! It's a great conversation piece. I always get distracted like that, too. I swear I have DIY ADD. Haha.

That is SO pretty! And yes, I've been distracted by other areas before too. I swear, I am going to hang my tin hearts all over the house because I keep finding other spots for them. Thanks for linking with Air Your Laundry Friday! xo Jami

Love this! My husband found me a great big picture window with a wooden frame, but I had NO clue what to do with it. I think I'll do something like this :)

Amazing what you can pick up at a garage sale, very good prices, and with a little imagination, can make a huge difference. Well done.
