Because it really is...unlovely. I mean, it's not crappy, just not as attractive as it could be. It takes me forever to redecorate because I have to get a picture solid in my mind, otherwise I make a bunch of costly mistakes (buying things that seemed like a good idea, then look like crap). But once I get the picture in my mind of what I want it to be, I make it so and keep it that way until I move or something needs to be replaced.
So I finally decided that I didn't want to reupholster the furniture, that with the right accessories it could come together. Then I finally decided that navy blue was going to be my accent color of choice. Then I ran around everywhere looking at what was available and getting some other ideas. And TODAY! I bought new throw pillows for the couch, a rug runner, new hand towels and kitchen towels, and a kitchen rug.
Looks terrific!
We still have clutter but that's unavoidable. I corral it as best I can and the only eyesores are Monello's corner and my workspace (which happens to be the dinette).
