Home Updates, Homies.

Guten Tag!!!

Here are some more

home updateywoos for ya.

We bought a rug a while back

from West Elm...

and it finally showed up!

I wanted something to ground our dining set

and add a bit more color to the area...

So here's where it ended up!

Before:

After!

I love the pattern and burnt yellow...

This room is still pretty bare,

but I have ideas for some art pieces (eventually)

and perhaps a little console against that bare wall.

All in due time, I guess.  :)

Also, one seriously neglected part of our home

is the wide hallway 

between our living room 

and office/ guest bathroom/ guest bedroom.

 It needs some love, to say the least.

I have yet to paint the hallway, trim, and doors...

But I'm thinking of doing something ca-ca-crazy.

So, I obviously have an obsession with deep teal...

But I think it would be rocking in the wide hallway.

Plus, it gets some natural light from all the rooms around it.

I'm thinking:

teal walls + white doors and trim + art + new light fixture!

Since I don't have the paint to embark on such an endeavor,

I decided to frame and hang some art.

Here's how it turned out...

Progress!

 I found all the frames a week ago

for 25 cents a piece,

spray painted some of them,

and framed a few of my original pieces

(as well as a stamp collection I have

from Argentina.)

Mini Update Cost?

Frames: $1.50 total

Art Pieces: $0 (Made them myself, stamps were a gift)

Spray Paint: $0 (Already owned)

Nails/Hardware: $0 (Already Owned)

TOTAL:  $1.50

(not too shabby)

All in all, I like how it adds interest 

to a previously neglected area,

but MAN! Does it makes me want to paint! 

Have you done any random small changes lately?

Or how do you feel about the teal?

Yay or Nay?

Happy Wednesday!

And thanks for stopping by :)
