Living room...

For a while, I have been wanting to work on our shelves in the living room. When we moved in, I just put some things on them but lately I have been feeling they were a little dull. After looking through some web sites, I made some changes to it. There were two big changes really;

1) I added books
2) I hanged some frames

I am very happy with the results. I did not buy anything and used all the things that we have acquired through our travels. I had to steal some books from my husband's library but he did not mind...

Here is before (from Halloween)...

And here is after...

I also switched the carpet between the living room and kitchen. This one is a little smaller and lighter than the one before. I thought it was a good change for the summer since the tiles will keep everyone cool.

I have a plan for the area above the fire place but I will have to wait until the end of summer...
