Ah, the joy of taking down all of the Christmas decorations. Honestly, I enjoy taking them down much more than putting them up! Our tree has finally made its way out of our living room and I had the opportunity to freshen the room up and clean.
Over the winter break, I took a trip to Ikea. I bought another rug for only $60 and put the larger rug into our family room. I love how a new rug can totally change the look of a room. I also bought filmy, white curtains that were only $3.99 for two panels. How could I resist? I took down my heavier, thrift store curtains for now to give the room a breath of fresh air. The other changes I made were placing my gate-legged table behind the sofa and adding pops of blue. The blue makes it feel as if spring really could be around the corner (even as I am huddled under a blanket on my sofa while typing this post!)
The gorgeous Persian Blue dresser is making its way to its new home in February. I will be sad to see it go!

Suzanne, it honesty looks like a completely different room. Just taking the curtains down brightens everything so much. I like it.
Suzanne
Thanks, Carol! The curtains really makes a difference and I just had to try and make it feel lighter and more “springish”! Nice to have more sunlight in the room as the days are so short. Thanks again!
