So….from one crazy project to another!

I am closing in on the living room becoming the awesome Gamer’s Paradise I want it to be. I finally got my new rug from Overstock.com and it it great. Almost dog hair resistant. Almost.

The IKEA Poang chairs are awesome for gaming and I enjoy watching the guys pull them all over the house. NOT!
Started a new project tonight, but still playing with the details….more to come courtesy of Cutting Edge Stencils. I know, I know….I am never happy with the master bedroom Smile

Had an early 43rd birthday night out with my girls this weekend. A nice snuggly Saturday with the menthings… ordering Chinese food instead of cooking and lazing around all day Sunday while starting the new painting project.

A little too late and some dollars short...


I know I am the last human decorating blogger out there to acquire some chevron in their life.....so as usual I will be bringing up the rear again. Ordered this little baby today from O.com. I got the 5.6 x 7.6 to settle in front of the slipcovered couch. The rubber backing means it wont become a sled with the boys riding it across the room. I ordered it in the Light Blue as my livingroom is Woodlawn Blue by Benjamin Moore.
I had scored some awesome deals at IKEA with my gift card that I won on the IKEA "Pin It to Win" contest. I bought some gaming chairs for the boys, decided against the slip cover in houdstooth and went with a canvas coloured one. I still have the "gold records on the wall"....but am picking away slowly at the gaming/office/livingroom.

Slowly.

Kinda like how much I have blogged in the last month. OY.

Some of the other tidbits added to the room are all from IKEA. Yes, I went over the $100 gift card :)

IKEA STOCKHOLM Cushion IKEA Cotton velvet with extra luster and softness; nice and soft against the skin.
Stockholm cushions
POÄNG Armchair IKEA Frame of layer-glued, bent beechwood provides high flexibility and comfort. High back provides great support for your neck.
Poang armchairs
LACK Side table IKEA Easy to assemble. Low weight; easy to move.
Lack tables

I am now stuck on an overhead light in the room to replace the weirdo chandelier. Just keep Pinning, Just keep Pinning.....LOL
