Last but not least, the BATHROOM

Why include this? It was the last room I did, and it was the hardest. How do you make shrimp colored 50 year old tile look good? With all the other rooms, I knew exactly what color I wanted. This one took FOREVER to decide. And I'm actually quite happy with it. Oh, the artwork is made from placemats - guess from where? Clearance at Target. I should buy stock.

Bedroom Phase.....3!

Yes, the bedroom now looks like it came out of an episode of "Swingtown", but it's still considered mid - century, right?

Dining Room (or should I say dining nook) Before and After

Here's the rug, in all it's $15 Target clearance glory...gave me a great excuse to use the wire platters from yet another Target clearance. I need to stay out of that store.

More Redesigns - Living Room Phase 2

I get a rug from my mom for my birthday, and I end up redoing the entire house JUST TO MAKE THIS RUG WORK. I basically swapped the living room and bedroom - moved all the 70's turquoise and orange funk into the bedroom, and pulled all the black/white/olive green calm into the living room. MUCH BETTER. (If I do say so myself). With a little furniture move, I've also added additional seating for our Battlestar Bookclub on Friday nights...
