Happy Friday

Just a quick up date post. 

Please note.  I took pictures of the room at the moment in time. 

 You will see some pretty updates along with real life in this room too.  

I did not want to take the time to clean up tools etc. as we are still in the midst of re doing this space. 

This is my old farm house window and shutters that I had on the long wall of my living room.  It was really the only wall in this small room that was large enough to accommodate these pieces.

With the new switch up in progress,  I thought hmmm what if that window could fit in the actual window of the living room. 

I thought oh Terry is going to love this crazy idea when I tell him!!!!

Well guess what?   With a few minor adjustments this window was able to fit.  I still have the other window behind this.  It just fit perfect in the opening.

Now the vintage farmhouse window has a new place in the room and does not take up my precious wall space.

Another good thing is I can open the window behind the farmhouse window if need be! 

Yeah!!!

 Any kind of  window opening will not be happening anytime soon here. 

Below zero temps for us right now.

Just glad to know I can open up the window if I need too.

The walls and ceiling are painted.  I am on the hunt for new drapes. 

 I am trying really hard to have patience waiting for my new Pottery Barn Sectional to come in.

The door/mirror Terry made is now ready to find a place in this room. 

Remember this door was framed out with additional salvage pieces that are now making an arch entry

I love that I can still have my door/mirror and we could use the extra pieces to frame out this door way.

My sweet TV armoire found on Offer Up is painted and awaiting a new TV and some pretty decor above it.

This is where I am at with the living room / dining area up dates.

I cannot wait for the sectional. 

I also have a little fun surprise to show you soon on making space work with a round table in a corner!!!!
Stay tuned for that.

  I am thinking of getting that light film you can put on windows to let light in but gives you some privacy.
This window faces my neighbors and at night I would like to have a little privacy. 

I just do not want to lose the character of this  window by putting drapes or blinds on the window.

Have any of you used this film for windows and how did you like it?

Hope you are enjoying these small steps I am posting as we get to the final reveal of the living room and dining room.

Patience is the name of the game and that is not my strong suit!!
Loved seeing the sun today as our temps here in Chicago are at extreme lows.

Have a good Friday and wonderful weekend.
Hugs,
