The Ever Changing Family Room

Hello everyone!

Are y'all glad it's Friday?  And are you even happier that it's a holiday weekend?  I know my youngest son is.  He has been adjusting to middle school for several weeks now and is ready for his first extra day off.  He does not deal with change well, so I think this whole new school thing as been hard for him.  

Speaking of change.........I change things up around the house all the time!  I think it's fun.  So, here are some changes I made to the family room (the one that seems to change the most).  

This is what started the whole thing in the first place.

The white rack on the wall back there with the plates in it came from my sons room!  It was intended to be used as a magazine/book holder (from Pottery Barn Kids).  It was used that way for many years, that is until I confiscated it!  My son NEVER hangs out in his room.  He isn't even missing it.  LOL!

So, it is now hanging here.  I filled it with some brown and white transfer ware plates.  

Of course, other things got changed around because of it.  The dog picture got moved over here.

Then the mantel got a little makeover.

I moved my horse back in here and moved the burlap ottoman out.  

The coffee table got a new look too.

I placed a basket with some topiaries in it and draped a striped pillow cover in it for interest.  

A few pillows got moved around too.  They are never safe in one place too long!   (Oh, did you notice I repainted the little round table beside the sofa in a grey color?)  I think it's now on its 5th color change by now.  

So here she is!  I'm happy with these changes until the next big idea comes in my head.  I had to take pics with the overhead chandelier on because it's very overcast outside and my lighting was very poor.  So, if things look a little different that's why.  

Do you have big plans for Labor Day this weekend?  I have no idea what we're going to do yet.  

Have a great holiday weekend!

Thanks for stopping by.
