I had my living room repainted while my contractor was working on the powder room.
I went white. And I've never felt more liberated!
With white walls I'm now more comfortable bringing in color and patterns
I'm mixing my greens and I've added some raspberry floral for a much needed splash. In other words, I've gone pink and green in my living room.
It used to be dark - very beige and brown
(before)
Then I got the craigslist chairs upholstered in a green and white geometric fabric.
And started my game of musical furniture
Then I couldn't stop changing things around - I still think I need professional help
I'm working on a cushion for the window seat and making this little space a cozy nook.
These pillows are a little too big, but I was trying to see how a black and white stripe would work.
(Recognize that lamp shade?
The vintage asian man lamp didn't make the cut but the shade did!)
I've been making pillows like a crazy woman
Is it too much?
Found the pair of vintage garden stools at an estate sale this summer.
They were green, so I had to have them.
I'm fickle, so I made the pillows reversible - one side solid raspberry, the other side floral.
Right now I just have this fabric tacked up to see if I can live with it as a curtain before I invest the time into making them. What do you think? Would you put these two different greens so close together?
And most importantly - Drew made this switch cover in the spring and has been asking me WHEN I would hang it up. It kind of works with all the other colors I've got going on, don't you think?
It's still a work in progress, so if you have any thoughts or suggestions feel free to give 'em to me.
