Some Changes In Our Living Room

Back in late Summer we had our living room, downstairs halls, upstairs hall and Big Daddy’s bathroom repainted in Sherwin Williams Mindful Gray.  Ya’ll????  We are so in love with this color!!!  It is absolutely the most perfect warm gray :)))  Not an ounce of blue in it.  As a side note?  We are not at all impressed with Sherwin Williams paint.  My very honest and best advice ?  Take the paint chip to Lowes and have it mixed in the best Valspar paint you can afford.  This is my honest opinion.  I have no affiliation with either company but  I do have several decades of experience with Valspar.

That’s it.

Onward …….

So as in most cases, a major wall color change begets other changes in the same room.  Let me just say that I seriously, seriously  take my time .  I like for a room to evolve, come together through collecting things that we love and the things that speak to us.  Now.  Let me also say that this strategy ?????  It drives Big Daddy up a tree…….until it all comes together 🙂

The P Kaufmann fabric was the Jumping off point for me.  I saw it and Lost my mind.

Here is an affiliate link to it:

If I am being honest I built this room around this fabric.

The linen weave and the colors were my inspiration.

 

My $25  antique mirror for Habitat Restore found a home on the thrifted gray dresser!  I was not stopping till I had a spot for it .   I don’t know if ya’ll have noticed but big round wood framed mirrors are expensive.  The fact that the silver on the back of the mirror isn’t perfect doesn’t bother me at all.  It’s character and age.  I heart both.

I chose the dark gray quatrefoil curtain panels early on .  I needed 6 panels for our living room so cost was definitely a consideration.  I happened to find 4 at my neighborhood Walmart and then ordered the last two on line.  They look great and can go right in to the washer.  Here’s the link :https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-Canvas-Ironwork-Curtain-Panel/45702335.  At $9.94 per panel, $20 per window and they look great, I am happy !

I am sooooooo in love with these!!!!!

The pair of gray fern prints were an instant download from Etsy for $10!

They are just gorgeous!

The frames are from Michaels, Belmont brand at 70% off.

The window came from Santa Claus :)))))

I believe ya’ll call in Big Daddy.

Finding a BIG piece of art for above the couch is tough.   This walnut stained window looks so good up here!  I have been looking at it on Etsy for  a couple years because it was on the pricey side.  Had I know how great it looked in person I would have spoken to Santa a few years ago!  Here’s that link:
