Living Etc.

Good Wednesday to you!  I hope all is going well for you today.  As I mentioned last night, I went to bed a little earlier than my typical time.  But that didn’t mean I actually went to sleep.  I usually turn on the tv for a few minutes before going to sleep and last night I landed on a show called “If you Really Knew Me“.  It’s a reality show on MTV where camera crews go from high school to high school and document the experience of Challenge Day, “a one-day program that breaks down the walls between cliques, and completely changes the way students view their school and each other”.  I am completely amazed what these kids go through and how devastating texting and Facebook can become when students resort to posting mean things electronically.   It was a very emotional show as I watched how Challenge Day taught students to respect each which in turn brought everyone closer together.

What’s shocking about this is that I’ve noticed adults – in particular high ranking bloggers – do the same thing!  Just yesterday, while reading one of my favorite blogs, the blogger was ranting about someone who had potentially stolen some images from their site.  While I have no issue with bloggers ranting on this subject, I think calling out the individuals name and linking to their website (which they took down) might not be the smartest way to handle this.

Well, lets move on to the real purpose of my post – colorful and luxurious living rooms from Living Etc. I know I’ve mentioned this numerous times here, but I really wish I could get a new couch set for great room.  Maybe even something like this…

I love this green chair.  The bright pink pillow is what brings everything to life in this living room.

The two photos below are luxurious living rooms.  You don’t have to have many “luxurious” items in a room to make it luxurious.  Really, the only item in the photo below that creates this mood is the chandelier.  Any other light fixture, and you might not get the same effect.

I really must get going to get my kids ready for reading time and playgroup at the library.  I hope to pop back in later this evening.  Have a wonderful day and maybe stop by later for some more inspirational finds.
