Home tour part 1: The living room

The family room:

Our new place is a work in progress.   It's been fun making it our own.  The last three photos were taken in the perspective of Amelia who took about 50 pictures of random things today. 

Stuff

While Aaron has been researching fridges, window installation, and drills for our new home, I have been drooling over color schemes, mid-century furniture, and inspirational and low cost design ideas.

I have purchased the following frugal items for our new place mostly from Etsy:

For mine and Aaron's bedroom

For the livingroom, in a cute yellow frame

                                                Two throw pillows for Amelia's room

For Andrew's big kid room, a map chalkboard decal from Urban Outfitters

Jacob's Pottery Barn Teen surfboard shelves.  I saved big time by using craigslist.  His are white and sea green
