Have you started on your Christmas stuff yet this year?Earlier this year, I wrote a post all about my.

If not, no big loss, really.. We (I) painted it with a couple of coats of Martha Stewart “Crevecoeur”.It’s a nice greeny grey that reminds me of a rainy day, but in a good way.

You can see Kennedy’s not really that sick.Another keepin’ it real moment!This time in the living room.. Now all this up until now was all fine and good but the real fun part was adding the “nail head” trim using cheapo thumb tacks.

Worked like a charm!The best part was that it was actually easier to push them in with my thumb rather than use a hammer.

I spaced them out an inch apart for a little more of a relaxed look.

I used the hammer in the end just to make sure the tacks were all pushed in all the way.We may even get around to finishing the living room by then!.

This is one of my top choices, but then I was thinking of something like this for the curtains, so that wouldn’t work..I really really love this fabric, but I think that may be too much on the biggest piece of furniture in the room..

I think this might be the sensible choice.I get the pattern I want, but I can still do the type of curtains I have in mind.
