Beginnings of a Statement Wall...

I have been changing a few things in the great room of our new home.

 When we moved into the house the art really threw me off.
We have such a long stretch of wall... what to do with it?
I have some vintage portraits hanging... but they were void of any color.

I wanted a bit of my blues... and a new fresh look.

So I added some barn prints I had blew up into posters.

They were 4-12 dollars each and I reused frames I had.

I painted them all black....in a high gloss spray paint.

Vintage Blues in the Great Room

Welcome back... two posts in a week!

I've made a few simple changes in the great room lately.

Been adding more denim blues... which I cannot get enough of.

 It all started with my rug and curtains....

 I love how warm and homey this room is becoming.
It is a HUGE space with 10 foot ceilings.
I want it to be comfortable and welcoming.

The After Christmas Fireplace...

So not all of my Christmas is put away...
but a good portion of it is.

After the holidays my mantle looked a bit bare....
If you want to how I had it... CLICK HERE.

 I don't want a ton of decor here, but something....
I have big plans for some large lanterns... but as of yet...
I am making do with what I have on hand.

Looking Like Christmas Is Coming {In The Great Room}

 Hello again...
Yesterday I shared the fireplace and today I will share the rest of the great room.

 I see all the blogger home tours online this week... all over the top drenched in Christmas.

Christmas Fireplace 2017

 Hello again... yes... it's time!
My first Christmas post of 2017!!

 This is our first Christmas in our new home.
Last year we were living in Alabama, but in the rental.
We promised ourselves a big Christmas this year.

New Wall Clock, The Fireplace and Great Room....

Just a quick update today...

 My hubby got the big wall clock hung for me...
I am loving it!
I found it at Ashely Furniture when we ordered the new couch.
It should be coming any day now...
It will be going in the study, the room with the pretty windows.

 I have the wires hidden on the fireplace now.
Were not hanging the TV, it might be replaced with a larger one.
I am looking for two lanterns for each side of the TV.
