Show us your life: Living Room

 I'm excited to participate in this year's "Show us your life". I just recently graduated from college and got my first "Real" job and new apartment!  I have the nicest landlord in the world, he allowed me to paint and decorate anyway I would like.  I live in a wonderful 1940s apartment in the cutest neighborhood in East Tennessee. So here is my living room, let me know what you think!

 The arrangement above the couch, I got a few things from Hobby Lobby and a few others at some antique stores.

 This chair is my favorite find at an antique store, it was only a $100, and to make it a better find, about a week later I saw it in a Pottery Barn catalog for almost $600!

 I love the huge window, but it was tricky to find a curtain rod that long, so I just put up one on each side and then used twin flat sheets as curtains!

 I love monograms, so I looked and looked for some letters, but could never find any I loved. So I made some myself. I bought the letters from Hobby Lobby and then cover them with scrapbook paper and cut off the extra.
