45 Minute Refresh

Sometimes we don't bother freshening up a room or space because we think we just don't have the time.

The other day, Darla and I rearranged her living room and reorganized her linen closet in under 45 minutes.

Here is her living room before and after.

 There was nothing wrong with the before, but it's fun to change things up sometimes.  Darla told me that she remembers coming home from school after her mom had rearranged their living room and how excited she was.  I love that!  I want my kids to have fun memories like that.

And it always feels nice to tidy up a space and make it more functional.  Especially when it only takes minutes.  We were able to purge some items out of the linen closet to give it some room to breathe.

In other news, I found THE most amazing frames the other day.  The huge one was 10 bucks which is crazy cheap for that size, the smaller was 6 and that little mirror with the towel rail was just such a cutie find!  

I planned to use the big frame as a chalkboard but that picture is really growing on me!  

I am headed to the States soon so maybe I will find some fun stuff there.  Foreign cast offs just seem so appealing!
