man mountain makeover...

So- fall is in the air... the high yesterday was 83° with a low of 62°! When you live in the south, that is classified as feeling <i>crisp</i>! I took a little <i>jaunt</i> to Target and enjoyed seeing all of the fun and festive wreaths that have been put out lately- I also purchased a little Halloween candy that was being displayed so temptingly... and then I came home and watched college football (and worked on a few home projects) with Mr. Hubbs, Colonel Dad, and my little sisters. <i>(More on what we got accomplished later....)</i><br /><i><br /></i><br />In honor of it being the start of college football, I want to introduce you to Mister Husband's <i>"Man Cave" </i>now, it's not really a cave... it's upstairs... so, maybe it should be called a<i> "Man Mountain?" </i>Anyway, Mister Hubbs and I love Auburn Football-- we are both proud Auburn University Alum, and I promised Mr. Hubbs that he could have a little shrine in our abode... but I still got to design the room... for the <i>most</i> part. Here is a photo of Mister Hubbs and I in our <i>prime, we were students in college, and when Britney Spears was on top of the world.... ah, the glory days</i>... this is the first football game we attended together.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSBdAECH679LDviKoi0LrZOHtxm3KbYgEDhJwnH_DkjB-obbRoKYyM-qxZDJPqbdLVXflyI4ZRWP4pNDJWhXpxmBXzlfQIJ8-ghnm7WZeMNaadUZXUhheNnDzinFRLOWSY_sUBUJ8xYqaR/s1600/CUTEST_PICTURE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSBdAECH679LDviKoi0LrZOHtxm3KbYgEDhJwnH_DkjB-obbRoKYyM-qxZDJPqbdLVXflyI4ZRWP4pNDJWhXpxmBXzlfQIJ8-ghnm7WZeMNaadUZXUhheNnDzinFRLOWSY_sUBUJ8xYqaR/s400/CUTEST_PICTURE.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Since Auburn's colors are orange and blue- there were a lot of different ways that I thought that we could pull the colors into the space without looking tacky. Mister Husband really wanted to paint a huge <i>"AU"</i> on the wall...ugh.... and that was the last time I asked him what <i>he</i> wanted.<br /><i><br /></i><br />So- where did we end up? Mister Hubbs and I are about half-way complete with this space... there are still a lot of things that I would like to do- but this is definitely a step in the right direction!<br /><br />Here is how the space started: dark and skank.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQBc7ZUJyWtn9QpWk6AWvtZ4XI1733XbP6bEA8K2HWATdbXIAgI0iXE1S2v3hhyphenhyphenMLcK0JwrGwhZEfr5gX4pde0thCxK6_ySotxZqWrw3LuhE1_sX7UmylX8ZAkppWzJHPcOlrLFN_yVb2f/s1600/58889_151210558242079_100000594064048_348150_5559260_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQBc7ZUJyWtn9QpWk6AWvtZ4XI1733XbP6bEA8K2HWATdbXIAgI0iXE1S2v3hhyphenhyphenMLcK0JwrGwhZEfr5gX4pde0thCxK6_ySotxZqWrw3LuhE1_sX7UmylX8ZAkppWzJHPcOlrLFN_yVb2f/s400/58889_151210558242079_100000594064048_348150_5559260_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj1g6w4vx5nvhVpAalWS44qDfowFJMpmRTwxDQs_uEeX5Z5DxEeSm2Q7UBqOV7eDGQ8GMbr6Rda-QaGt-KJ-k2Qm7Ah1XU0NCD8QZ0o8Pcy3Vk8KP2K7hynDfADWTxzm6JEBWWL4VEsjiB/s1600/58908_151210848242050_100000594064048_348151_8182854_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj1g6w4vx5nvhVpAalWS44qDfowFJMpmRTwxDQs_uEeX5Z5DxEeSm2Q7UBqOV7eDGQ8GMbr6Rda-QaGt-KJ-k2Qm7Ah1XU0NCD8QZ0o8Pcy3Vk8KP2K7hynDfADWTxzm6JEBWWL4VEsjiB/s400/58908_151210848242050_100000594064048_348151_8182854_n.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9Ey5iz_9lxqdU1h87OjnahZl7nnp-Oi7ETpjFeMPZ3rwxV_KpmqPq6LzPAIg1OvxEX7ObknFqIn9WVHPcGE-GXM2NTrGNn1VbnohkfYrApmUqTukZb14vfUNNwvdaM5QkW1Ty4MAo8z9Y/s1600/59073_151211011575367_100000594064048_348152_3599398_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9Ey5iz_9lxqdU1h87OjnahZl7nnp-Oi7ETpjFeMPZ3rwxV_KpmqPq6LzPAIg1OvxEX7ObknFqIn9WVHPcGE-GXM2NTrGNn1VbnohkfYrApmUqTukZb14vfUNNwvdaM5QkW1Ty4MAo8z9Y/s400/59073_151211011575367_100000594064048_348152_3599398_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">And here it is now!

I liked the idea of bringing in another warm color to the space to balance out the orange rug- so these golden, velvet curtains were perfect! I then went to Calico Corners and purchased a few yards of an orange, green, pink and gold paisley that I could use to give the drapes a more custom look. They also add more color options to the palette of the room.
