Before & After: Living Room

Alex and I moved in to our first home a few months ago, and I want to share with you some of our progress.  We have decided to paint every inch of our house. I'm not joking when I say that. Every door, wall, cabinet and all the trim will be primed and painted.  Help us Jesus. 

Here is a look in to our living room.  Below is a break down of our paint choices.

Trim/Shelving: Sherwin-Williams Snow Bound
Walls: Sherwin-Williams Passive
Back of Shelving: Sherwin-Williams Meditative

The layout of the living room is still up for consideration, and we'd like to get a bigger couch, more chairs, contemporary light fixtures, a rug and a few other items.  But at this time it's not a priority, so we'll be content with what we have.   Alex finally talked me in to getting him a "man" chair, but thankfully it was free from a friend, so I gave in.  

I hope you enjoy our living room makeover. More to come of before & after projects!





Anyone have any good ideas as to what I should do with this giant wall?  It's the main focus of the living room, but I don't want to over crowd it either. HELP!







P.S. - Please excuse the filthy spotted carpet.  Alex tracked in mud one day, and decided to do the chicken dance all over the carpet.  I followed behind with a special soap I found on pinterest, but it ended up leaving splotches every where I cleaned. Any tips on how to remove soap stains?!

Choosing Paint Colors


I've been dreaming of paint colors lately.  As we prepare to paint our ENTIRE new house, I've spent much time in the local Sherwin-Williams store (thanks to our best bud's Dad being a contractor, we're getting a discount).  I've probably spent $100 on paint samples alone, but I wanted to get the colors right!  I've finally decided on the four below.


SW 6204 Sea Salt - Laundry Room, Guest Bathroom

SW 7004 Snowbound - Kitchen Cabinets, Doors, Trim, Built in Shelving

SW 6078 Realist Beige - Turner's room, 2 Guest Bedrooms

SW 7064 Passive - Kitchen, Living Room, Master Bedroom, Hallways

These colors might seem bland to some, but I want simple and fresh.  I think the light colors will really open up the house.  I'm unsure about the beige in all the bedrooms, but Alex didn't want to paint the ENTIRE house gray which is pretty much what I wanted to do. So for now I'll go with a neutral, and I can always repaint later down the road. My goal is to to keep the walls neutral and add pops of color through home decor.

We close on Thursday, and our seller will hand over the keys on Friday!  Our first project will be to paint the kitchen cabinets white and as many walls as possible.  We have 1 week till we move in, so we'll see what we can get done in 7 days! Wish us luck.

What colors did you paint the interior of your home? How did you choose!?
