Living Room Transformation

One project leads to another...

All of our baseboards and trim are new in the kitchen...

So, it was time to make our living room match.

I had to take a break from projects for a few months, but I'm finally ready to finish it all up!

We ripped out the old trim & baseboards, painted and added the new trim. We still need to fill holes, paint, and caulk around all of the new woodwork.

Before we remodeled the kitchen, I loved the paint color in my living room!

Living Room

It was so weird, but after the kitchen was complete our living room looked a mustard color & seemed so DARK!

I painted the walls the same color as our great room...

The color is by Benjamin Moore and is called Pelican Gray.

I just color matched it at Lowe's with their paint with primer.

I LOVE this color!

It's neutral & bright!

I've been having such a hard time trying to figure out how to make this room bright with all of the "brown" furniture and decor I have!

Then I moved the bench from my kitchen into the living room...

It looked good and has some of the lighter colors I want to use.

Then I found fabric at Joann's that matched the bench!

I was going to make pillow covers, but for some reason the fabric didn't look too good on my couch.

So, I decided to make covers for my baskets...

Then I took the lantern that was above my staircase and put it on the table.

I already had the mirror and initial and decided to try them above the table.

I did buy the cute hook at Hobby Lobby for $5.00 and hung a wreath I already had.

I like switching around things that I already have, it makes it feel new!

I really like how it's coming together...

It's feeling bright and fresh!

This is what my table originally looked like...

I stained it a walnut color a few years ago to match the rails on my staircase.

You can see that makeover HERE.

Last week, I found these bird pulls at Hobby Lobby and they were 50% off...

It was a cheap and easy way to change the look of my table!

I can't wait to show you the rest of the living room when it's done...I need to either hire someone to paint the trim or get off the computer and get started!!
