We LIVE in our living room but I like it to look nice too. I want it to be relaxing,warm, and inviting. Now that it’s Spring, I’ve gotten everything all deep cleaned and looking nice but I wanted it to have a new refreshing look.
I was getting tired of the Fall/Wintery colors of the room though and wanted to brighten it up.
I showed you my hope chest that I recovered.
Last week I showed you these “full of potential” birdcages.
I got them all primed and painted and they look great in my mini made-over living room.

Remember the boat-load of pillows I got for a little bit of nothing? Well, they weren’t holding up so well.
So we removed the stuffing from them and I sewed some new ones.
I’m getting pretty fancy on my sewing machine these days!

| Since this post, I painted my hope chest. You can check it out here. |
I picked up four different varieties of material and mixed and matched colors so really anything would match the living room.
And so here’s the finished look:

This looks great. I love how your totally rescued those bird cages from their scary 80s plastic nature situation they had going on before haha. And all for 20 bucks- I am impressed!
Thanks for sharing the good ideas… found you through frugal fridays. 🙂
Beautiful job!!! Megan
Looks really cozy and inviting. The bird cages look great.
I’m inspired to go get some spring throw pillows now. Thanks!
I love how just a few changes makes such a difference! Great job with the pillows!
I looks great! What a refreshing change!

Love the pops of color. Also, love your baby grand. I have one that looks almost identical to yours (it’s over 100 years).
Glad to find your blog…I’m a new follower and look forward to new posts!
Isn’t it great when a cheap project can change the whole look of your room? Nice job!
Hmmm jealous of those bird cages!! Like the new look cushions, they are a nice splash of colour.
You did a wonderful job- and those colorful pillows just make things POP!

Amazing transformation for under $20… very nice fresh look!
What a pretty room 🙂
Love the color pop. Cute job. Makes me want to do something similar with my living room now. Only thing…what color pops could I do with olive green?!
I am visiting from Raising Homemakers! I love your re-do! What a difference some color makes!
I love the pillows! What fantastic bright colors.
Great job! Looks cheerful and cozy! 🙂
