Our living room is the first area that you see when you come into our home and I am really excited to have a finished space that reflects who we are. Over these last 8 weeks, I have bought a few new items for the room, reused materials that we already owned, and finally put some of my thrifted items on display.

I have always been thrifty when it comes to decorating and this makeover is no different. The saying, "one man's trash is another man's treasure" definitely applies to me and I get such a rush out of creating something beautiful out of items that were discarded by others.

My goal is always to hang unique artwork that is interesting and doesn't break the bank. Whatever I hang on our walls, I want it to feel like our family.
