It's Here! (Maybe)

Y'all, today is the first day of Fall, and I couldn't be more excited! It's been soooo hot here, and with the high humidity... well, forget anything besides tshirts and shorts. But, for the first time since I can remember, Alabama has got this season thing right.
The first day of Fall has brought temps below 80 (which is a blessed relief from the heat) and a cooler breeze. I just had to wear boots and a cute top to celebrate, of course. With this being Alabama, I know the weather's going to change again, and we'll probably have 90 degrees for Thanksgiving to compensate, but I'm going to hold out hope that the heat is gone.
As if.

The Makeover

Over a month after move-in, our common room is finally beautified!

From this...

To this!

Coffee tables: Thrift Store find, $10 each with our student discount

Curtains: Amazon, $16

Rug: Walmart clearance rack, $20

Pillows: Thrift Store find for $2 each

Fabric etc. to recover pillows, $15 (tutorials to come on how-to)

I'm so excited to finally be finished- we've been planning this since move-in day!
