New Year, New Fresh Looks for Style at Home

Each year after the holidays,

I love to change up and freshen each room.

Once the Christmas decor is put away,

I can't help but do a furniture shuffle, 

or change out the accents and colors.

And,

this doesn't have to cost a lot to do.

I simply move accents and furniture around from one room to another.

Many times, it works great and with  better results.

The treasures and furniture we love, don't have to stay where they first began

in decorating our home.

Last week

 I worked on moving a few chairs around.

Now usually this has to have some assistance from my strong family members,

especially when the chairs I was moving around, 

were on different levels of the house.

All was accomplished and I am a happy decorator!!

Thank you to hubby and son!

These two chairs below now have new rooms 

and

they look so much better in their new footprints.

I'll share more about these new rooms 

in another post.

Because today the  ideas I had~

 were to bring down the red decor from second floor guest room.

to the master bedroom.

I have always had a red room or two somewhere in our  homes

and 

this year I thought I would enjoy the red in the master

and living room.

To begin I had some of this gorgeous vintage

Norfolk Fabric found on etsy.

I got it knowing several months ago I was going to make some changes.

I also had two tab top long curtain panels 

from the quest room given to me about 10 years ago

from a dear friend.

Knowing these would not work in the master as they were,

I went to work turning them into upcycled valances 

for the bedroom sitting area.

I measured, cut, pinned and fashioned enough for 5 window valances

and enough left over for table topper and pillow.

Still have the better part of the last panel for pillow shams

if I want.

Love the results and the fresh new look.

You may think that skirted tables are 

not in fashion any longer,

and you may be right~

but I also swapped out another wood table for this round accent table.

I say, if it works and looks good

with new or vintage fabric, then it's perfect

and

helps to pull the color and look into the room.

Next I found these gorgeous lumbar pillows from

Biltmore For Your Home

and they

work perfect in my two wicker chairs for the sitting area.

The red throw was one I crocheted over 

the summer to use at Christmas

and now it works great here.

Next from the swap out,

I added this red "Rush Seat" chair

with matching cushion for the master desk.

Moving around the room,

here are a few added accents I pulled from other rooms.

My hand painted roses in beautiful red on canvas.

Love this red Eiffel Tower.

More hand painted red roses on a vintage plate.

These vintage wall birds were my mother and dad's from

their first home in the 40's.

A little clock collection

set to special times of our lives.

Weddings, births, and so on.

Lastly here's a little pillow

sewn up from some of the fabric left.

Loving the new fresh look 

with the swap from room to room.

I kept the quilts but changed out the drapes

for that difficult window over the bed.

You know the one, 

if you've followed me for long.

It's always a trouble child to work with.

Love these lined sheers however.

Their light and airy and drape so nicely behind the head board.

and

Like I said,

I do have enough fabric to fashion up some pillow shams too.

Okay, project number one crossed off the list.

Love this time of year

and

get so motivated to change rooms up.

Next I'll share another bedroom and living area.

Do you do these types of change ups?

Isn't it fun and refreshing?

The best part,

it doesn't have to cost a fortune to get a new look.

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a great day!
