Walk the walk, right? After preaching to y’all that you need these 8 things to complete a room, I decided my own living room needed some of those items. I hit up World Market and found a pretty basket and then headed over to HomeGoods and snagged a couple of pillows.
Here is a before shot of my couch…
And this one was one I posted awhile back, and again this week, noting the changes I still want to make.
It feels good to cross off a couple of those…

And here it is with just a couple of additions. Amazing what 3 small items can do for a room!
Remember what I said about adding pattern and texture…
I also added something else from my magic 8 list
and I will be sharing that next week.
If you are super observant you probably are wondering what happened to my ikat pillows that you saw here. Unfortunately, the pillows had envelope closure, which I have come to realize are straight from the devil himself. Well, maybe not that dramatic but if you have two people in your home that prefer to jump on and squish your sofa pillows, envelope closures are not for you.
I am going to reuse them somewhere else but not before I fabric glue them shut.

And, I haven’t forgotten about the big kitchen reveal!
I hit a couple of snags, a.k.a. I cannot make some decisions, and then the weather got gross for a couple of days so the lighting was terrible for pictures. I am working on finishing up so I can show you the new and improved (hopefully!) white kitchen!
In the meantime, here is another lame sneak peek:
Just a little taste of the materials and texture palette!
