I am addicted

So I must confess, I have an addiction. I am addicted to HGTV. I love it! I started watching it because I was looking for something clean to watch (that is the great thing about HGTV and the Food Network). Anyway I have come to realize that they have all sorts of great ideas. I particularly enjoy the show Design on a Dime. That is the perfect price tag for me.
That is not the end of my addictions, as I become more interested in decorating I also have become a KSL.com geek. I would highly recommend it to anyone needing almost anything. It is fabulous!
So my addictions got me started thinking about my living room, which really needs a makeover, and I decided to do something about it. I was so excited about the makeover I couldn't sleep. I thought of many different scenerios and various possibilities. Some of the ideas were a little wacky, some were too pricey, a few were good.
So I have started redoing my living room. I have come a long way, I sanded and stained a table that I had, got a cover for my loveseat, bought a great bench and some rugs (from KSL), made a cushion for the bench and some pillows for the loveseat and bench (that was really my mom), painted a wall and the mantel (with help from my sweetheart), stripped sanded and stained the bench that I bought, and then hung some decorations (luckily I had some help from my sister for that)
Though I am not done I do love sitting in my new room and just looking. This morning Greg and I were sitting just looking at the wall we had painted. After a few minutes he thought we needed to get out more, I thought we were admiring a hard days work.
