Summer Time Arrangement~

Sunday I showed you the Perpetual Project-- today I'm sharing with you, the most recent 'look' to the room. One I'm even more fond of than before! (I actually did this on Saturday, before Father's day... but the other post was waiting to be posted; so I had to get it out first) 

We have a Winter time arrangement of furniture and a Summer time arrangement of furniture. 

One is to accommodate for the wood burning stove-- the other for the window A/C. 

Last year I covered my couches for the summer with white blankets-- I'd purchased for really cheap. 

Well, this year the kids did the re-arranging for me before coming home from the hospital. But they aren't used to seeing the blankets on the furniture so they didn't put them on there.  Not to worry-- I did it this morning!   I like the look it gives. 

 I covered the couch and love seat with white cotton coverlets.  I'm not going for a beachy look-- just a more crisp-- summery feel.  It lightens up our dark living room too. This is the look that has lumped me into the  Flea Market Style Personality.  YES! I SAID IT... I have PERSONALITY! 

I've been buying these thin blankets every so often at Bargain land when I see them. They are usually only $1. 

I used 4 of them for this couch and loveseat. 

 Simple pillow slips. 

 This one came from my MIL's things. It has grass and flowers painted on it in tan. With a brown and white crocheted edging. 

 I like the furniture arranged this way in the summer-- it seems cooler.  There are more seats under the ceiling fan and this allows for the window A/C to cool the room better. 

 The green STINKY- rug. Well, it isn't stinky anymore. But it was!  

 I'm thinking of changing out the curtain on the front door-- it is too yellow for the rest of the room. But for now has a room darkening affect-- keeping us cooler on the inside. 

 This window has been covered for almost 2 years-- last year we didn't even turn the A/C on... crazzy hot, too! Anyway-- after uncovering this window and opening up the blinds and the curtains ...and after taking this picture--- I see that we never painted the panels along the side of the A/C.   
I'll probably do that this week.  We have NO APPOINTMENTS!  YAY! 

The view from my front door, looking straight into the kitchen.   


After taking these pictures-- I see things that still need tweaking just a bit.  Some colors that need to be eliminated and some that could be added in-- to unify the space better.  I think this is definitely one of those PERPETUAL PROJECTS!  if there is such a thing-- ( I actually just thought of that phrase off the top of my head) Either way... that isn't what I started out wanting it to be. Quite frankly-- I'm tired of it ...like 3 months ago. 


So for now I'm calling this project done! 


God Bless you and thanks so much for hanging on, waiting, and READING!
