Your new Look for your living room is wonder...Mary,<br />Your new Look for your living room is wonderful. - Not that your old look was any too shabby, either. I too am a very frugal shopper. I shopped thrift shops before they were even cool. I remember buying all my accessories for my collage dorm from the Goodwill and Salvation Army and then coming home to wood putty , sand and paint them so they all looked like they matched when I finally headed off the face my first year away from home in college. But enough about me. <br />Your room makeover Is a 10 in my book. <br />Have a good day.<br />Hugs,<br />PennyPellie / Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16528703820943252311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5116097326831894082.post-26019332320618703542009-07-12T21:53:42.250-04:002009-07-12T21:53:42.250-04:00Mary, your living room is absolutely lovely.

My home is so much more interesting than most of my friends(not to be mean)who buy everything new that has no character. When people come into our home they can't help but look around because there are so many interesting things. I couldn't pick one thing I love about yours because it is all so pretty...like my hubby says 'it all has a story'<br />PS. Yesterday I bought 2 chairs for my sitting room for $50/pr from a junktique store. better than spending hundreds new at the furniture store and putting it on a credit card!Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07428050796438112747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5116097326831894082.post-22561065007170049192009-07-11T09:56:24.748-04:002009-07-11T09:56:24.748-04:00Hi Mary,your redo is so wonderful..
