Living Room Makeover Inspiration

9:51 AM

When we purchased our house, one of the first rooms we wanted to tackle was the living room.  It was scary.  When I walked in there with my husband and our realtor, I had never seen anything like it.  Dark wood paneling on all the walls with dark shades on the windows and red brick fireplace.   It was like a dungeon.



Yikes, right?  Well thanks to watching endless amounts of HGTV shows and my obsessive Pinterest stalking, I knew this room could transform with a little bit of paint (well, a lot of paint), new lighting,  painting the fireplace, and lighter shades or curtains.  I'm envisioning a brighter room with a cozy feel.

Have I mentioned how indecisive I am? Picking out paint colors is so confusing.  I swear these are all different. 


But I finally decided on Benjamin Moore "Edgecomb Gray".  I'll keep you posted on the outcome shortly!
