Giving into the decorating bug

I have tackled some projects this week since the decorating bug bit me. I gotta say my living room finally feels pulled together. (Of course, since Travis wants to paint it, I won't allow it now though) I still have 1 more table to purchase but I am looking for the right one (for cheap) to put by my front door. Can't wait for garage sale season!!! I already posted all the deals I bought on Tuesday so those are in my living room, well some are. I also bought a gigantic red plate for my mantle that I jazzed up a bit (I talk about that in a minute). I painted the half circle table between my kitchen and dining rooms black and it looks much better!

I purchased the Sure Cuts A Lot (SCAL) program for my cricut on Wednesday night and it freaking rocks! I made a big "B" for on my gigantic mantle plate and added some other things in my house. I must say that I am dangerously close to having words on EVERY wall in every room of my house! It is addictive!!

I also bought a few new storage totes to help me get some things lacking organization organized. I will say that I have gotten some of that stuff done but still have to complete that project.

Next on my agenda.... ha! what's not.

*I have plans for my loft but I need a LOT of cash for that room because it involves buying a new 50inch plasma so that has been bumped to the bottom of the totem pole since we just re-carpeted out entire upstairs.

*Mykenzie's room needs repainted and her things need put back on her wall. I just don't like the set up in there right now, and she wants stripes on her wall. I have never done that so I don't know if I am capable to do it as I can't make straight lines to save my life.

*Kaylee's room needs upgraded from babyish to little kid. I don't have any kind of a plan for what I am going to do yet but I am thinking that wainscoting will be involved :)

*I am DYING to redo my laundry room! That is going to require garage sales though cause I can't spend alot on things for a laundry room, I just can't bring myself to do it. But I have a specific idea in mind so I may have to! lol

*My downstairs bathroom needs a serious face lift as well.

I guess I should have just said I have plans for every single room in my house, except the living room and the girls bathroom cause that would have summed it up much better! lol Sorry to all of you actually reading this! So many plans so little budget.

Here are a few photos :)

The wall between my window and front door... so much better!
