Refresh your room linky party.....!

I know, it's not exactly February 6th yet, but in honor of those of us who would rather be blogging or on Pinterest instead of watching the Superbowl; I am going to put up the linky party now.. so join in and link up~!  Let's call it the Linkybowl!!!!
There is nothing like putting away all of the Holiday decor and then itching to give everything a facelift and a fresh look.
Here's the before of my Holiday house. It was pretty naked when everything came down.
 I was  really ready to bring in some nature.
Here's the refreshed room!
 This is my the top part of concrete birdbath from my back yard. I had bulbs left in my garage fridge from fall and decided to give it  a shot at forcing them.  After a good wash, I put some potting soil in the bottom and lined it from moss that was on my brick patio and put the bulbs on top. I'll keep you posted if it works. If anything, it looks pretty.


 I also potted up a bit of patio moss. Gotta love free patio moss. I can't believe some people try to get rid of theirs!
 I put up some new curtains for something brighter. Wait till you see where I got them from...


 I did splurge on some tulips. I couldn't resist, they had such great color and just made it feel springy.  The  little table is from our upstairs hallway.

I put my big nest basket and bird cages on my mantel top.

And my kids had fun finding some branches in the yard to put in the mantel area.

 I thought this pillow from Homegoods looked prettier in a display than on my couch.
Thanks for taking my refreshed living room tour!

  11. Hi! Love your linky party and your blog! I was wondering if you could tell me the paint color you used in your dining room...Moms work room area...above the molding. We are adding some similar molding to our living room and looking for a similar color up top. Thanks! Enjoy your week.

  16. Jen-Your room looks very nice and is motivating me. I have a tendency to leave furniture in one spot instead of thinking of new places to put it. Now, I want to take a gander around and see where I could switch things up!
