Updating in 2012

I am getting ready to redo the living room...again. It's nothing major, you know, just the usual change the curtains, repaint a wall, add some furniture, design a wall gallery, etc... I am a little crazy when it comes to makeovers, and if I were keeping count I would realize that we've had 4 different sets of drapes and our couch in 3 different places in our living room, but I'm not...Anyway, Pinterest has been inspiring me once again and I am pretty excited about it. Here are some things things I have pinned recently to my home board that I will be using for inspiration...

I really want to create a gallery wall, and while I am going for a bit of sophistication, I want lots of fun too! I have always been fairly uptight about keeping the living space an adult space. Maybe it is a second baby that has softened me, but I am now thinking that we need to liven our place up a little bit. I am thinking about incorporating some playful dogs and kid silhouettes into the mix, what do you think??

And finally, I am thinking of incorporating some graphic art to the gallery wall. I LOVE this print I pinned this week. I think it is the perfect inspiration for me as we enter into the second semester of the school year!

We'll see how the updates go around here in 2012. I'm trying not to be too crazy and get them all done overnight. I think it's going to take time to get it just right, and that is okay with me! In fact, one of my resolutions is to just slow down in general, so I think I'll just take the evolution one day at a time. Matt will like that. :)

Happy Monday!
