Bee happy .... living room update

Well the living room is all finished and here are a few pictures showing you around.




I tied a little ribbon around the tops of these lampshades to brighten them up.

I made a new cover for the footstool with Laura Ashley and John Lewis fabric
trimming the yellow frill with ribbon.

You can see I have made matching cushion covers for the settees and I have 2 new Jan Constantine cushions in blue.


I decided to put my embroidery pictures up in this corner instead of the larger wall where they were before, this is my art corner :)


Because I didn't want to put my large mirror back up on the top of this cupboard as it would cover the wallpaper but I wanted a tall picture so I cut out the word LOVE in left over wallpaper and put it in this frame from Ikea.

I also put this heart box picture here which is what I stitched for Mr Happy as an anniversary present for our 20th wedding anniversary which was a couple of weeks ago.

More pictures on this room to come.

At the moment we have a decorator in doing the stairs for us, it was far too hard for me to do, as I write he is balancing on some sort of ladder/wood structure he has set up stripping the last of the wallpaper off the walls and ceiling which I couldn't reach :)

Don't forget to enter my cushion giveaway which you can find in my sidebar :)

Have a delicious day!
