The Living Room

Yes, we're still alive. Phew! Moving is hard work. We still don't have everything sorted and put away, but we're getting closer. (I hope).

The living room is done...for right now...until I change my mind about something.

Come on in...
WARNING: Lots of pictures.

This is before (yes, we're messy movers)!

We painted ETA: (Lowes-Olympic Tightrope) and added the board to the lower part of the wall. Made a big difference. The top is supposed to be a warm gray, but it sometimes looks tan to me. I wanted something more neutral, so I could change things with the seasons.


I stole a lot of the decor from our bedroom, so now I'll have to just about start from scratch in there.

I paid entirely too much for the wreaths hanging in the windows. They were 50% off at Dollar Tree.

 We just started decorating for Christmas once we began. No sense changing it after a couple weeks. I love having a fireplace mantel!!!!!!!!

The pitcher and reindeer were a GW find.

I love your color choice. Sometimes I feel like I'm too in love with the neutrals, but it makes everything so much more flexible!
Happy decorating!

I'm not sure how I got introduced to your blog but I love your style! You have a knack for decorating. Do you mind me asking your paint color choices? I'm about to paint my living room walls and love your colors. Thanks, Kelly

Sooo pretty!! I love what you've done with this room!! Also, I'm so glad to see you're back! I was beginning to wonder about you! ;)

Love Love Love it ALL!! You're awesome. Can't wait to see what you do with the rest of your house! We've been gradually making our living room more neutral and leaning heavily toward the casual look - I'm holding out for a slipcovered sofa ;)
Your mantel looks great, too - you'll really have fun with that!
