Before all hell broke loose, I was busy making a bunch of little changes around the house. Here’s what’s been happening in the living room.

The Hicks hexagon rug that I had originally bought for this room (but put in the dining room) is back. This is the most formal room of the house and my goal for it is to be as warm as possible. This rug helps because there’s more floor coverage than the shag that was in here before.
The art wall is also filling out nicely:

I added a few new pieces and moved some around and it’s almost where I want it. It’s a really tricky wall because of the millwork (I’m trying to keep the nailing to just the trim) so I must have rearranged it a million times.
I also added this guy:

I know I’m hovering dangerously close to “crazy bulldog lady” territory (I have to show you the other Frenchie things I got recently) but I don’t care! He looks just like mine and it makes me smile every time I look at it. I got it a while ago from a guy at the Lakewood Antique Market which, by the way, was a total disappointment. I had heard some good things about it but didn’t think it was worth the drive.
That’s it for now. Thanks so much again for all the kind comments and keeping my spirits up during a pretty hellish week. The thought of losing three years of blogging was so freaking scary but thank goodness I was able to get all my posts back. About half of my images are still missing but I hope I can get those restored over the next week or so. But this weekend, I think I deserve to kick back and do absolutely nothing!
Have a good one, friends.
