I am a do-it-yourselfer working my way through a new construction, builder basic 3 bedroom home in Kentucky. I will document my progress and explain the thought process and steps involved to create the transformation from generic builder grade to kitchy country chic.

In the Old House: Family Room Vignettes
I have been working and working to try to find the right accessories for the console under the TV. I believe I finally have it right. I am now ready to leave it like this and move on to my next problem area.
I have also changed some of the things on the floating shelves behind the couch. I had stuff on them, mostly from Home Goods, that were look alike vintage or look alike objects collected while traveling. I am going to move toward authentic vintage items only and get the pseudo crap out. So this is what I have now: the 2 copper pitchers are from my mother's house and are as old as me (definitely vintage), the silhouette is an eBay purchase. I happen to think it looks a great deal like my son, the antlers (naturally shed) are from eBay, and the trophy is from, you guessed it, eBay.
Every time I think I'm getting close to being finished with a space, I think of something that would look better. I suppose I need to just accept that no room will ever be finished.
