Quick Living Room Update

I have been meaning to take pictures of the new paint in our living room for the past couple of months and it hasn't happened.... So I am just throwing some up there that I took with my phone real fast to send to family and friends!! I didn't really even clean before I took these so no judgment, ha!

I painted our living room in a light blue several months ago and it just never really settled with me....it was too bright and a little too "minty". So after months of debating if I should paint it or not or what color I just went for it! And I loved how it turned out!

Before:

After:

 I painted the wainscoting darker blue and repainted the back wall to be bright white again.

..closer up view taken while painting... notice my sample colors painted on the white wall..  :)

 We also bought a grey slip cover for our couch! So now I can change it out with our white one. I like the white more but the grey is easier to maintain! We also rearranged for a bit to open things up during the holidays when we had a full house! We sold the coffee table (I already have plans for a new one!) as well as our Sofa table--Chad is working on building me a "custom" one! :)

Our Home Tour: Living Room Reveal with Wainscoting

Over the past few months we have made a lot of changes to our family room! It first started when we got a new sectional from IKEA--Chad was so embarrassed of my last "vintage" couch :) And with a new couch comes a new arrangement of course! We had fun rearranging the furniture and the feel of the room a bit. Knowing me, we will probably move it back at some point; I like switching it up! :) Then I got a gorgeous new rug (from RugsUSA) that I LOVE! A new coffee table, and side tables came up and just recently we finished some wainscoting! AND I LOVE IT ALL SO MUCH! :) ...I am excited to share it all with you today :)

Here is the "before" picture of our living Room:

and the After!! :

It feels like a completely different room! The blue paint is a little brighter that we expected..some days I like it, other days I don't. So we haven't decided if we are going to keep it. What do you think? :) Here are some more pictures! 

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Wainscoting :)

Lamps are thrift-ed, I painted them. Lamp shades are from Target.

I love being able to hide our TV! 

This fun old window is the perfect way to display pictures of us when we were little, as well as some of our parents and grandparents! 

and this ladder makes displaying our blankets so fun!
