I finally finished painting my living room Moonlight by Benjamin Moore (Yay one project I can check off)! I made a few changes to the window wall (cleaned the very dirty blinds for one thing) 🙂 . Took my toile curtains down and washed them, but instead of putting them back I put up these cute red and white polka dot curtains I got at IKEA. $12.99 for two panels – which I think is a very good price for ready made curtains that are nice and long.
These are my fun summer curtains! In the fall I’ll probably put back my red toile curtains and maybe put these in the guest bedroom.

I also painted the frame of the vintage print my daughter gave me for Christmas and hung it above my white sconce.
Love how it works so well with the other vintage print I already had!
We are also switching out the bookcases that flank the fireplace on the opposite wall.
Here’s peak at them – I’ll show you those when we’re done setting them up.
I’m really happy with the changes we’ve made in the living room so far!
Hope you are all having a great holiday weekend!
I love the changes, bright and cheery! Can’t wait to see the rest of the bookcases:) Have a blessed weekend, HUGS!
Manuela, your new living room look is really sweet. I love the polka dot curtains and touches of red. Have a great week!
It looks wonderful. I especially love the red frame around the vintage print – just lovely 🙂
Your living room looks so cheery, Manuela! Love the pops of red.

Good afternoon – love your polka dots, they just look so happy and cheerful! The whole room looks pretty.
those pesky blinds do get dirty and are not easy to get clean, I need to do mine in the near future too.
What fun curtains for Summer, Manuela! I do love your toile ones, but these lighten up the windows for the warmer months nicely. The frame looks great red!
Those polka dot curtains are great!!!
That looks so cheerful and summery! Love the polka dot curtains — so fun!
I love how bright & cheerful your living room looks…very inviting for summertime!
Blessings!

I really like the changes you have made. Love the white with the red. You won;t believe this but I bought the same curtains today at Ikea in Colorado……a couple hours ago. SO funny.
Hi Manuela! Oh, I love your sweet polka dot curtains! So happy and you know I’ve always been in love with that darling cabinet.
Be a sweetie,

Hi……….

That looks so cheerful and summery! Love the polka dot curtains. I love that so much. 🙂
Keep it up.
I love the polka dot curtains! It does give the whole room a very summery feel.
I love the look! It’s so cheerful and summery. The way you regularly change things up and switch them around is such an inspiration to me. I’m still not as good at it as I want to be, but I’m getting better. Those polka dot curtains are adorable!
Fun, fun curtains! They are the kind of curtains that make you smile when you see them – so cheery!
I love your living room!

I love the look of your living room – probably because we share a similar color palette!
Love the summery changes you have made! It looks so cheery and light. Aren’t IKEA curtains great? They have such wonderful prices!
Looks summery wispy and cheerful at the same time…I know you love going to sit in there. 🙂 Love the red and white color scheme. The bookcases look awesome (what I can see of them!) And your vintage prints are the best! That room says…”come visit with me”… 🙂 Hugs to you Manuela. Thanks for sharing more of your inspiring decorating! xoxo
What a fun change for a really different look! We use those bookcase as pantry and dish storage. I love the glass on top and the bottom solid doors.
Love the combination of different patterns and all the antique charm! I love sewing things myself and it is so great when you make something to use in your own home!
Those polka dot curtains are so fun!
I love all the splashes of red in that room. Not over done either.
I’ve got my eye on lighting for my bedroom– our ceiling fan went out in there, the light works but what’s the point really? So… that lovely wall sconce grabbed my attention. I’m thinking something like that hanging in my room would work nicely!
Love your summer time arrangement.

Can I move in with you ( I will be very quite) !! I LOVE your style, charming. By the way you have been on my mind. I am painting a cabinet (and am hating it). I do not know how you do what you do xox Clarice
doesn’t get cuter than this! Love the red with the back ground toile paper of the cupboard.
Manuela, I love red and white and basically every single thing you do to your house. It just gets better and better.
It looks so cozy, Manuela! Oh, how I wish we had just one IKEA in all of OK.

I’ll be right over for some iced tea and a visit! Everything looks darling… and those polka dot curtains….WOW! ADORABLE!
What a fun and inviting room you have! It makes me want to come over with a book and curl on the couch and read for hours:)
What a lovely room, the curtains are terrific. Looking forward to more about the bookcase. Thank you for sharing at the Thursday Favorite Things blog hop xo
It’s all so fresh, bright and cheerful! Looking forward to seeing the new bookcases.
