Now on to that front room:
Here is how the front room looked in the listing photos. I scrubbed and refinished the floors, painted the walls beige and the trim in white. I also added a couple of storage furniture pieces:
This cabinet I thrifted for $29.99 and repainted in white. It holds my collection of cake stands, tiered trays and cake plates. The deer on this wall is Mr. Hollingsworth 😆
The dresser was a bit higher priced at $49.99, but still a great bargain at the thrift store. Originally I had it placed behind where the couch goes but then I moved it to get the TV up off the floor.
Inside this dresser is where I store my vintage collection of Sweet Valley Twins, Sweet Valley High and Sweet Valley University novels. Not only is there enough room for all, but I can arrange them in chronological order. It's the little things that make me so happy 😍
So here is how things are arranged on that side of the room as of now. It looks kind of cramped in this photo because there are still boxes behind the couch and in reality, it looks like this:
!!!!
What you are looking at here is my collection of holiday, seasonal and garden decor items. I have a couple of outdoor sheds that everything will be stored in eventually, but they are yet to be put together. Once everything that doesn't belong here is cleared out I'll play around a bit more with the furniture placement and add accessories. For now though, it's my organized mess 😁
The opposite side of the room is my desk area. I use a TV as a monitor because I like having a big screen for creating my digital products and the smaller PC is where I game. The main 'desk' is a kitchen table while the nearby surface is a buffet that I refinished. You can read more about the buffet here and the refinished chair here.
The gallery wall is a collection of photos and blueprints from my Husband's job as a Pipefitter/Welder for the UA. You can only see a bit from this picture - there's so much stuff in the room that I can't get back far enough for a proper photo!

And that is my front room so far.
