Living Room Challenge

Wow, so I am already falling behind schedule! I had to work most of the day, but spent the rest with our son. I always enjoy spending lots of time with him. He's 6 years old and definitely a chatter box. That kid can talk non-stop the whole day. He doesn't even mind talking to himself! The husband decided to go horseback riding, so we had the whole house to ourselves! I need to get on my horse soon, he's fat as a tick!

More details on living room:

Budget: $250
Completion: July 5th, 2011

My mom gave me some awesome white curtains she wasn't using, so that is definitely a big money saver! My husband got one set of curtains up. *looking at watch* Since that was a week ago, I am going to give him a few more days to put the other set up. Yes, I can do this myself, but last time I did I refused to use the level and ended up with crooked photos :-/

I have all but 1 wall painted in the living room now and ran out of paint. I dislike driving into the city, but suppose I will in the next few days to grab another can.

Goal for this Week: Finish Painting, Finish Curtains, Hang Frames/Photos, and of course post pictures!

It is already looking a lot better! I can't wait to show all of you!

Coming soon - some great money saving tips and I thought I would share how I make my own lavender laundry soap!
