I'm redecorating out computer room/2nd guest room, and I'm so excited! I have all of the pieces; I just need to start sanding and painting. I'll definitely post before and after pictures.

I took the rug that was in there and put it in our bedroom (and it looks great, I was psyched about that), which meant I got to go buy a new rug. It has reds and creams and browns in it. I bought a euro style lounger (couch) that folds out to a bed, and it's a deep brown. I'm painting the walls a cream color with a tint of brown, and I'm painting the outdated wood trim a lighter cream color. I have a ton of MENA style pillows that I'm going to throw around, as well as a sand painting we got in Algeria that's going on the wall. I'm planning on taking an old end table and sanding it, painting it, and shortening the legs so we can put it in front of the couch.

Today begins the painting and sanding, which will take the longest. Once I get that done, the room should come together quite quickly, I think. I'll be back at some point with pictures!

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

Congrats Rajaa on the redecorating, I was reading everyones ideas and they were awesome! I can't wait till hubby comes and we have our own place in America so I can get started... I LOVE furniture stores and anywhere with little trinkety things. I bought this hand made matching mirror and clock made with wood and painted and designed in turquoise over the summer and it's just sitting in my room waiting for a place to be hung. joawjfoaiwefjalksjflkajaksjfkjaejflaksf I CAN"T WAIT!!! <------me spazzing
