Living Room~The Revised Tour

 In the last few months I've done a little changing and tweaking to our living room. I know I've done posts on the changes, so I hope your not getting sick of seeing this room but I thought I'd show you them all put together. I think I finally have this room the way I want it! But if you ask the hubby he'll say the way you want it until next week!! He really is so good, he just goes with the flow.


             New lamp and added the burlap table skirt to the table.


Love the fringe







                           New pillows added to the couch.



                               New/Old table found at yardsale.

And my favorite change of all was changing the rocker that was originally here to this french beauty my mom bought for me as an early birthday present.



Hope you all enjoyed the revised tour of my living room. As always I look forward to your visits and enjoy reading all your wonderful comments! They make my day:)   Martina

One more post and I"ll be at my 100th post! Now that calls for a giveaway so stay tuned!

    Hi Martina! I love your gorgeous living room and every change just gets better! I love that little corner where your desk is and all the light coming in! Of course love the beautiful window with the two pretty chairs! I guess I just love it all.

    Your living room is so elegant. I especially like the small table with the teacup on it.
    I wish mine has that light coming in. I'm sure the shadows are lovely in the evening.

    I really love that new tableskirt with the fringe! If I had a round table that needed covering, that is exactly what I would choose! Your monogrammed checked pillows remind me of some my sister has in her house. Love those too! I believe I saw a stained glass crest hanging in your window? Whatever it is, I really like it. You've done a great job on this room.

    Hi Martina...

    My friend, I just adore your beautiful home! I love all of the changes that you have made. You know...it has been so much fun watching your lovely home "evolve"! Sooo very inspiring! Well dear friend, I love your new lamp and that burlap table cloth is sooo pretty! Love the fringe at the bottom! That is such a gorgeous room...I love everything about it! Ohhh...and your new "birthday gift" frenchy chair...STUNNING!!! I was really taking a close look at it...I love the finish on the wood. I have two chairs flanking my fireplace that are nearly identical. I am going to refinish them and reupholster them as well. I would love to do a similar finish to the wood of the chair!

    I will never tire of seeing your GORGEOUS home, my friend...please keep those photos coming! Thank you so much for sharing them with us!

    Warmest autumn wishes,
    Chari
