Mark you calender for the second Annual Refresh your Room Party!!!!
Monday, February 6th
We did this party last year and it was a blast.
It's all about shaking off the winter blah's, putting away the holiday decor and giving everything a fresh new look! It doesn't have to be expensive, shop your home first. Move lamps or pillows, add flowers, change up the furniture arrangement like I did here in my living room from last year. I have the new mantel in there this year, so I can change it up even more!
Before
After
I didn't buy anything except the flowers. Everything was from either another room or something I had shoved in a dark closet. Scrounge your basements and attics. You never know what you might find to refresh you room!
Last year we did it in March; but I am feeling an itch to pull out some paint cans and recover some pillows. Are you ready to make comes changes now that the decorations are down?

My house looks so naked since I took down the Christmas stuff. I may have to pull some stuff from a store. LOL!
Can't wait!

Very pretty makeover.

I have been doing the same thing. I love change, especially in the Winter when we are inside more and the days are shorter. Love what you did with your room. Very pretty:)

I'm looking forward to this. I've been itching to paint and something new to house. Hopefully I can get it done in time to share in your party.
Love your "after", Jennifer! I've got to still put my Christmas stuff away, which will be done by the weekend. I'm sure I'll be looking to get some things done around here that were just waiting for the holidays to pass.
I'll be there!! Thanks for hosting...I have been wanting to paint my living room since we moved in four years ago, now I have a deadline to get it done by!

Your room looks fantastic...I love the mirror above the sofa!
I am ready to jazz things up, too. It was nice to say goodbye to all of the red and green. Now I want some soft colors and pretty flowers!!
XO,

Hi Jennifer~~ I will be joining this party. I have purging the house since I took down the Christmas decor and changing things everywhere in the house, It feels so great to do this.
Have a great day!

LOVE the change in the second photo! The room looks GORGEOUS!!!
Jen, I just love when you have these parties. It is always so much fun to see all the terrific decorating ideas that everyone comes up with. So inspiring! Love, love, love your lving room and cannot wait to see pictures your newest project when you are finished.
I am ready although my decorations are still up! We are remodeling the dining room and all of the furniture is blocking the tree. :0)
By the way, your refresh looks snazzy and glam!
I've the itch too...in fact I already moved furniture in my daughters room and added two benches at the end of their beds! look out 2012 I'm ready!!!
can't wait for your party!
xo,

I was just refreshing my home today! So fun to put away the holiday decor and try some new things! Thanks for your inspiring post, as always!
i got the itch as i was taking down the tree. as i type, my dining room is stripped and ready for a fresh coat of paint and a new look. i'm buying nothing new, shopping my house for everything. once the dining room and kitchen are done i'll move on to the next room til the whole house is done. my eye needs a change now and then though my family thinks i'm nuts!
hugs,

Sounds like a great idea for a party! Taking Christmas down now so maybe I can get a head start on this
This is a great idea!
I'm motivated! It's on the calendar!

I'm there! Can't wait.
I'm taking a deep breath and enjoying the space that was under all that Christmas weight.
But I'm also feeling the restyle itch. This will result in my youngest saying "You didn't work today did you Mom?" Poor kid comes home from school to a sorta familiar but definitely different room. I figure the family can adapt to my harmless addiction. Plus her friend's moms tell me their daughters thinks our house is "so cool." Sweet validation!
Be well,
Lynn
This sounds like fun...I'll mark my calendar, thanks for the invite!
I am always loving your parties like this! I miss the ones you used to host once a month. They really got me off my duff to do something! Love the refresh you did on your living room. Course, it looked awesome before though!
I'm in the process of redoing my living room. If I get it done in time I will definitely share...but I refuse to show the before. It is so embarrassing! Your before and after both look so great!
