Livingroom Reveal

 Quite some time ago, I asked for some help with my livingroom space.  Well, better late than never, here is the big reveal!


BEFORE




Alan was visiting his family for a weekend, and suddenly I had the urge to just take care of our dull gray/brown livingspace, right now. I went to Menards, bought paint, came home, pushed everything to the middle of the room and went to work.

It still isn't 100% where I want it to be, however it is so much better than before.  Basically, a couch cover and a gallon of paint made a huge difference!

A couple things I still would like to change, but can live with for now:
  • Find a rug that matches the colors and theme
  • Take out the carpet (which will involved cleaning up the mess of hardwood floor underneath)
  • New furniture
  • New curtains/window treatments
  • Paint the trim
  • I also feel the walls are still missing some beautiful decor, I just cannot place exactly what. 
  • And as long as we are being super ambitious, I would love to add three -four 1'x1' windows near the top of the wall where the clock and majority of white flowers are.
As you can see, there is a lot I would love to do, however paint is cheaper than new windows and moving walls!

  1. Wow, it looks SO nice! I used a similar color in our bedroom and then handpainted trees on the walls in a lighter shade. After living in renatls for years and being stuck with neutral colors, I was so excited to pick something colorful! Way to go! It looks beautiful!
