Living Room Decisions

Decorating is overwhelming, and expensive. I found myself at Big Lots the other day and I was like how did I get here. Oh right, I'm poor, that's how. Surprisingly they had some good stuff though. Cute pillows even. Their beds were expensive though, I was like nice try Big Lots, you're no Target okay?

Anyway this is the color scheme I've decided on for my living room. Keep in mind it is in need of color.

I already have this.

And I'm thinking about getting this rug.

Thoughts? I kind of wanted to take it easy on the orange though, so I'm afraid this might be a little much. But I do love it.

I love your colors! They seem tropical. And I think orange is best as an accent color, like that lamp is perfect. Didn't your mom's dishes for your birthday kind of go with your color scheme?

Sometimes you can find decent stuff at Big Lots--I have gotten many a Barbie accessory there.

I can't wait to see your new digs.

Yes the dishes do match, my mom the planner. I mentioned the colors to her awhile ago and she didn't let me down.

I love that rug! Really, it won't be too much, especially if you are not going to paint the walls.

I love your color scheme.

You think? It's on sale at Anthropologie. I think I'll go look at it at least.

How big is it? Yes you should get it if it's not too expensive...! Orange is the new red.

I don't think two pieces in one color is too much for a room. The lamp will help tie the rug into the space.

Truly love this color scheme! Definately buy the rug if it's still available.

If you don't mind, where did you buy that lamp?

Thank you! I got the lamp at The JCPenney Homestore. It was on sale, $20! They had a lot of other great colors too.
