St let's start with the floor shall we.... we shall...
Ok now I'm not a big fan of painting floors.. but the I didn't want to spend a lot in this room because...well I'm basically doing the entire house at one time....
...But it only cost me $20 bucks to redo this floor....compared buying or renting a floor sander, grid pads and stain etc... u get my drift... eventually we will do all that but for now this worked perfect.. Better than I thought exactly...
Now here is the floor after:

Now as you can see I added a chandelier that was given to me as a Xmas present and begin striping the walls.
...Next I purchased 2 rugs (4x6) from Garden Ridge $15 each... And reused a 2nd jute rug that I purchased off of Craigslist for $30. I was going for a layered look...
((2nd rug not shown in this pic...))

Then added a table that we already owned...
(........2nd rug shown here see----->>>)
Made simple farm style benches.....It only cost a whoooping $9.79 each to make...lol...
Added some accessories....
And...Viola!!!
The side table/console table, is a bookshelf bought at a thrift store for $5.00 bucks!
I love It!!
Now although I;m still working on this space.... I think it coming along just great!!
What do you think?
