What's different?

The living room in 90% complete!  New furniture, an ottoman that I waited 12 weeks for and after 5 years with brown - a new paint color, too!  Here is the complete transformation - 

The before:


The during:



The after:



90% done because I have no idea what to do with this big wall!
(that is not a great picture of the color in the den... it is really much more subtle than it looks here)

And I know I need lamps, but since we are 0/3 for lamps thanks to Tessa, I think I will wait 10 more years to buy another.

I feel like the space is much brighter than before, and since our house is surrounded by 2 stories, we need all the light we can get.  

The pillow with the kite on it is from Istanbul, Turkey.  This is the box it came it.  I thought it was picture worthy.

Yesss...... I am so proud of myself for spotting the new ottoman. Looks great, especially those perfect stripes from the vacuum/lint roller! Can you come do our living room next? And baby-proof it while you're at it?
