 I am proud to say that I am now a part of Gussy's Inspiration Workshop! I have tried my hand with something like this by doing Inspiration Thursday.  Someday, when I have a little more time to network and perfect it, I would like to do my own Inspiration workshop. Stick with me friends and I am sure together we will go far! Have you heard of Blog Sugar? Someday I would like to be a part of that! I have high hopes for the future, can you tell? Now for the prompt!

This week's prompt was, Family Room. 
My Family Room growing up was always the place we watched tv and maybe had a quick chat. Sometimes, it was the room for sleepovers, movies, and pizza! At some point when my parents were redecorating, they decided to paint and asked me what the living/family room should be painted. I suggested this orange color. To my surprise they painted it that color! They loved it! I loved it! It was kind of like being inside of a wonderful pumpkin, less smelly and gooey though. It brought a lot more chatting, laughing, and happiness! Crazy what a paint color can do, eh? My parents moved to Michigan a few years back and what was one of the first things they did? You guessed it, paint the family room orange! It is wonderful and makes me feel like I am in the "right" place when I am there. 
My goal is to buy a house and paint the family room orange. I want to laugh, share in serious and fun talks, to live and to love in that special room. 

This is what my current family room looked like until yesterday: 

We just bought a new couch, so we are in the process of getting rid of the old and bringing in the new. Slow but a fun and wonderful process! A lot of these items are pass-downs or craigslist finds!
Our Family Wall. (Needs to be added to!) 

Someday I will have a lot more to work with, I am sure. For now, though, I love our family room. It is warm, cozy, and feels like home.
