2nd Living Room Details

August 16, 2010 by Laura

Here is a close-up of the pattern to our curtains in the second living room…

I love them! They are orange but also have a really cool pattern. I bought several yards of it and my mom hemmed them up for us. We’re in to no-fuss, no-muss so all of the window treatments in our house will be fairly simply and just casual. We get a ton of natural light too so we don’t want to ever block that out by putting heavy drapes or liners on the curtains. Nothing over-the-top for this house!

Max assuming his position at the window. I think our neighbors were having people over for dinner when I took these pictures. He had to make sure everyone was behaving! 🙂

Remember when I posted about those lamps I found at Goodwill this summer? (http://lauraandconnersteen.blogspot.com/2010/06/thanks-goodwill.html) Well, this is the blue one! I love how it turned out and it was fairly easy to do.

I spray painted a coat of primer on the lamp first, including the brown base, and then did several, light coats of orange. I used Valspar’s orange paint from Lowe’s and it turned out great! I didn’t even have to use the high-gloss clear paint at the end. I thought I would, but the shine from the colored spray paint is perfect! I used an extra lamp shade that I already had (probably from Target, they are great) and it works so well. The best compliment? Conner loves it!
