The Lively Room

In spite of painting almost the entire downstairs and the trim, I still have my marbles and a small swig of moscato left (smiling). Okay, seriously so the area is much brighter and allows the furniture to take stand unlike the previous golden color which caused the walls and furniture to compete for the eye. I love the color, which is Behr's Parachute Silk, although my kids were nervous the color was too light. I ended up painting the dining room also even though it's not part of the living room/kitchen area. I did so because it's right off the entrance and in the very front of the house and was white.....yuck! I will post pictures tomorrow as they are stored on my phone and I'm posting from my....... IPad (post for a different day but awesome deal!)

What I have for you in the meantime are pics of the fabric for my pillows. I changed the fabric for more subdued colors to give a more grown-up beach house feel. I also found a coffee table at Goodwill for 5.95 it needs a coat or two of paint. But for the price I hauled tail quickly to the truck with table in tow!

* Well apparently I can not directly upload photos from the IPad to Blogger. Sorry to wet your
whistle and not quench your thirst with pics of the project but I will upload the pics
tomorrow.*
