I had the urge for change. I knew the answer was paint.
Now, I have to admit the urge hit in July and I have had my living room slathered with paint chips and photos. I don't think you should rush into a big color change.
After hours on Pinterest getting ideas, the pictures went back up, new collections were added and furniture was flipped around.
I absolutely LOVE it. It went from a deep, dark mustard ale color to a cool sage --Ancient Marble to be exact.
It's calming, soothing, lovely in the sun and equally as attractive in the rain which is a good feature for a home in the Pacific Northwest.
I love how it compliments our mercury glass collection....
I come down my stairs every morning and walk down the hallway towards the newly painted living area and I feel as if I am in a new home. It never ceases to amaze me how a can of paint can change an entire feeling in a room. I probably haven't spent more than an 2 to 3 hours in my living room for the last 2 years. Since the paint job....we gather there every day.
And now that everything is in its place, cleaned up, walls patched, pictures hung and dust bunnies scared away....the Christmas tubs have bumped their way out of the attic and down the stairs.
The calm was good while it lasted!
