The teeny tiny tour.....part 2:)

Alrighty! Here we go! So last week we toured the kitchen and this here living room:) Today we are going to head through that little doorway and see where we really live:)
 
 
This is the teeniest of family rooms:) and it's where we mostly hangout.  The love seat is IKEA, the desk was my makeup table at the old house. The little old white chair is from Sweet Salvage, the fab once a month sale that just so happens to be this coming weekend!! Go. Do it.
 
 
Picture me blogging here. Yep, this is where all the magic happens... I kid. More like, this is where I bite my nails every Monday night because I'm the worlds worst blog procrastinator and never know what in the world I'm going to write about!!
 
 
I bought this calendar decal at Tarjay. It's really cool, but man! it really should come with a warning... Please don't try this at home if you have the patience and math skills of a 4 year old.
The hubby put it up for me:)

 
All the curtains and rods in the house are from Tarjay too. The curtains were on clearance so I think they were $10 a panel? Can't remember really. The fence. Gaaa!! Who would return the fence halfway into the window?? It apparently never bothered my son, but geeeez!! it's all I see when I'm sitting there watching my Ina! It's on the honey do list... :)
 
 
I had to include this pic of my Alison Krauss autographed guitar. It was auctioned off at her concert several years ago, and it just so happened to be my birthday sooo the hubby won it for me:) Aaaaand I got to meet her and the entire band. It was sweet. What wasn't sweet? My delusional haircut. Let's just say in a moment of weakness I let my hairdresser go all Edward Scissorhands on me. Uh huh. You will NEVER see that pic. NEVAH. EVAH!!
 
 
Let's turn the corner and check out my laundry "room". What? They didn't have laundry rooms in 1922? Nope. They di int.
 
 
So needless to say, the laundry gets folded on the bed. And then immediately put away. Because there's no where else for it to go. And because I'd have a freak out if it was out for more than a minute. I have OCD. I think.
 

And there you have it! Next week we'll finish up the tour. Oh wait, no we won't. Because I'm heading to Dana Point for Thanksgiving! And truthfully? I'm still waiting on my headboard. Sooo, who knows what the sam heck I'll be posting about......

  6. This post has me smiling. I love what you've been able to do with a small space. You've done an outstanding job! It's so cozy and stylish and functional all at once. Don't feel bad about not having a laundry room. I have one, but it isn't very big, so I always end up folding clothes on my bed and then distributing them to the right rooms. Been doing it for over 16 yrs!

  8. I love it so far! It is so tidy! Is it really like that all of the time? I am sure it could be because you don't have any teenagers dropping their things all around. Wait! I just solved my problem! Enjoy that lovely beachy view for Thanksgiving! I am just a bit (a lot) jealous!

  14. Love your cozy cottage!!! Are your new curtains in the family room burlap?? I've been looking for some that are affordable. They look like burlap but I am not sure.

    1. Hmmm. I'd call them burlappy? Not actual burlap, but a look alike? They were on clearance at Target, so I'm not sure if they still have them, but worth looking for!

    1. Hi Tracey!
      I took the old slipcovers to my fav upholstery co (Brown's Upholstery in Mesa) and they just used the old ones as the pattern for the new ones:)

  20. Will you be showing the bathroom soon? (I may have missed if you said you will or won't!) I'm in a teeny tiny home and would love to see what you do to yours. :)
    Oh and I'm sure nobody would complain if you decided to blog on more than Tuesdays! Love your blog!
