Living room redo

You all remember I lost my dog to cancer. Well proir to his death, he literally destroyed our house. He could not control is bladder,his urine was full of blood, so there was very little carpet,or furniture in living room ,dining room or halls he did not destroy.Cleaning just did not work. It was impossible to get out the stains..Because of the heartbreak of losing him, I had to promise my hubby I would not get another animal..(it literally destroyed me to loose him) If I did he would replace the damaged things...so here is a start of what I have done.

Living and dining rooms had tan stained carpets...Sofa and love seat were a blue check,and they too were destroyed....so here is what I have done so far...New carpet Color is Hay Loft...Its in

my dining room and halls as well

New furniture,new corner table...He did not destroy the other tables..The sofa looks small in picture,but is actually 85" long..It almost was too large to get into the house..Delivery men had a hard time getting it in.The love seat is 65" . Still have accessories I need to change..and add.The shelf over sofa I found on ebay.The Cabinet is one I painted.

I bought the swags and valances,and made the bottom panels from ultra muslin (nice heavy fabric)

In another corner of the living room I have an Antique Childs Desk...that I found in someone's trash. It had tons of coats of paint on it,

and was a gaudy pink when I found it. It had about 10 coats of paint on it..After days of Sanding and scraping for days ,I found the wood was tiger Oak!!

Was so pleased with the outcome...

I wanted a shelf for the Wall over the desk,so I went through my wood stash and found this shelf from my "country" days on a shelf in

my studio...so this is what I did.. Olde wooden rocker near Fireplace...

Christmas stuff...so will take picks of my fireplace mantle,and the decorations soon.
