Our living room has been something I have wanted to tackle for quite some time. It just never seemed to be at the top of the list for new furniture, new decorations, or anything. At the time I took these pictures beware, it was a disaster! I was dealing with back issues and it came to the time we had planned to start this process. So the before pictures are a bit messy, as let's be honest when pain is present who feels like cleaning.
We decided to go ahead and do both dining room, living room, and hallway as they all have overlapping walls.
This is our dining room. We got this table really cheap when we moved into this house and although it has been an okay table it wasn't my favorite as the chairs didn't have backs on them. Luckily for me it was part of the furniture that we were passing on!
The living room. (Ugh! Embarrassing!) This wall color that was on the walls was very eggshell or yellowy cream. I don't really know what to call it other than not what I was going for! It was on the walls before we moved in.
The living room space is very open which leads to not having many ways to reorganized or move furniture around. Plus my husband had to have a recliner and it was hard to place in this room other than where it is.
The TV stand we had about 7 years and while there was nothing wrong with it, I hated the cords and mess that was easily seen.
So there are the before pictures of this process.
The next part was picking a paint color! I thought this was going to be the fun part of the process but picking a gray wall color is hard. We ran into grays that were too light, too dark, too blue, and too purple. Below is a picture of a few of the samples we tried. I definitely recommend when picking a paint color, buying samples and putting them on your own walls. Colors that look good in the store under different lighting will look completely different than at your house.
We ended up picking Number 5 in the picture above for the walls.
Next step painting!
Check back in a few days for another update on the Living/Dining Room Remodel!
