House [Condo] Tour.... Living Room

I have mentioned before that I live in a condo, and although the thought of living in a condo was very appealing at the time that I decided to buy [3 years ago] I believe I [we] have outgrown our current place, but with the economy the way it is, I don't think I will be looking to move any time soon so I need to entertain myself with my current place and I am always looking for news ways to decorate... and I digress... so let me give you a tour of my family room [and i am open to any suggestion that you may have that might improve it!]

the general theme in my house is the artichoke green with a hint of the tiffany blue and brown... as you can tell this room is a majority of the artichoke green

our "dining room/extension from the worlds smallest kitchen!"

my mantle (if you have ANY suggestions what so ever for - they would be MUCH appreciated!)

i like the candle sticks on the far right side of the mantle - i fill the base each season with something different - right now I have golf tees.... but I have put candy hearts for february, fake snow for the winter, coffee beans (for whenever I can't think of something creative), and buckeyes for when the LOVELY Ohio State Buckeye Football is in season) - but im not attached to them staying on the mantle - i totally understand if ya'll think they are too small for this large space! other than that - i'm not attached to anything up there! ha

off to the side of my chase lounge is where I keep all of my current crafts that I am currently working on- I would normally clean it up and pretend as if everything is always this clean and organized [ha!] but i'll be honest with you - its always here!



So that is a tour of my living room, I hope you enjoyed yourself :)

**just in case you missed last weeks installment of my home tour - you can view my bedroom here**

And I have to thank ya'll for your encouragement with the shoes from my previous post - I have decided to keep them:) and I will make sure to take a picture of them when I figure out a perfect outfit to wear with them:)
