Happy's Home Makeover

Emma & I made a quick trip to East Texas to help David's mom {Happy, as Emma knows her!} pull off a weekend "while you were out" makeover on her living room & entry hall before Thanksgiving. David & his dad were away hunting, so it was the perfect time to put our plan into action. 

We had to be very creative in working around the paneling, deer, and limited ways of arranging furniture. I wish you could tell from the pictures how much BIGGER the room looked after we moved the {extremely heavy!} piano out, moved the TV, and switched up the furniture placement.
We didn't have time to completely finish hanging things on the walls & moving a few things around, but you can get the picture.


Here is my favorite part of the room.
{Sorry the picture is a little blurry!}

Here's a great temporary decorating tip!
If you have an area on a wall, or behind shelves that needs a pop of color or design, but you can't {or don't want to paint} here's a great solution!
*buy some fabric & liquid starch
*dip the fabric in the starch & ring it out
*place on the wall & smooth it out with some kind of straight edge or ruler

And there you have it! A great solution to help give a little pop...but when you are ready for something different, simply pull it off & you are back where you started!
