I don’t know if I’ve done it yet,
but my persistent nagging to my husband just may have paid off!
Yep, that’s right.
I may have talked him into drywalling our living room and re-decorating!
So, since we have that huge garage sale coming up in September,
I am putting the pressure on!
All the items I marked hopefully will be for sale!
If you spy something you like,
you can email me at
wish me luck!
p.s. if this is the look you are after I also will have some antique wood duck decoys, a vintage goose decoy, and some other rustic accessories at the garage sale!Sept. 11th & 12th!
Don’t miss it!

O.M.G. I would love to attend your garage sale! But unfortunately I dont think I live near you. I would be interested in alot of the stuff that you mentioned for our lake home. ~Cindy~

Finally he gave in! I can't wait to see what you are going to do. Maybe paint the deer head pink. Wouldn't that just drive him nuts. I remember when I finally could get rid of this tapestry that my husband loved. The longer your married, they finally give in.
See you soon,
Cindy
Before you get rid of that armoire– which I soooo want but don't live anywhere near you– you should check out this post especially since you mentioned that aqua color yesterday

It is soooo pretty and if I can find an armoire like it, I'm all over it!
I can't wait to see what you do with the room after you finish. I'm sure it's going to be awesome.
Lucky YOU! 🙂
wow,, wished i was near you,, the armoir, sofa table, lamps,, i want it all. Good luck with your sale
My son's room has a cabin theme. Your antler lamp would be perfect! Let me know if you'd be willing to ship it…

That is fun stuff, I'm a cowgirl at heart and wish I had a ranch…although I'd struggle with my inner shabby chic cottage antique heart versus the ranch look! 😉 Do you remember Rachel Ashwell's book "The Shabby Chic Home" where she bought her Malibu cottage? It was all wood inside, very dark beams, etc., and she painted it all white. I think that might keep the cottage character of your place, (although probably more work than sheet rock- and lots and lots of white paint! 🙂
My Dad had pine paneled walls and he painted them. They look fabulous! Maybe you should try a coat of paint before you drywall. Looking forward to seeing your living room updates!! Love your blog!! I check it daily!!
I am sure you have already thought about this, but could you paint the walls (like you mentioned) and the furniture and get the sofa slipcovered?
I also love the color cottage white, by behr from home depot. my favorite white.
