Highlights of the new front room:
*big, comfy new couch with lounging section that I got at an unbelievable price thanks to my sister-in-laws nice grandpa who is a furniture wholesaler
*used piano that I bought a few summers ago so that I can jam whenever my little heart desires
*new window treatments....no more ceiling to floor church curtains.....the new treatments really open up the room and make it feel bigger and lighter. I love them!
*new carpet....not that there is anything wrong with the old green carpet from the 60s, but this new carpet makes a world of difference in the look of the house. If you get sad and start missing the green carpet too much, take a trip to Amy's house because she's got it in her house now!
*shelf, side table, TV table, cube bookshelf and wall shelf thanks to Ikea and WalMart. Gotta love cheap, cute furniture!
*fun accessories to go on the above mentioned cheap furniture.
*new homemade-fabric covered-wooden-box valances. I made those suckers probably 10 months ago or so. I got the 2 smallest ones hung up with no problem....but the big valances to go over the gigantic windows....that was another story! After countless hours, methods, bad words, and tired arms of trying to hang them up I gave up and they layed on the floor....for good I thought. That is until my super hero Dad came into town and figured out a way to hang them on the wall! Hooray for handy Dad's that don't give up until they find a way to get those blasted things on the wall! So please pay special attention to those :)

You could have fooled me it doesn't even look like the "old" living room...I think you have found your niche girlfriend :)
Love the valances... I LOVE that you made them. And hooray for Uncle Robert for hanging the big ones! Those big windows are HUGE... they look FANTASTIC!
