Well I'm not following a prompt today but I still wanted to do a post - we're halfway through the month and I think I've managed to post every day.
Anyway the decorating is complete.
Now we have to finalise a carpenter to build in some cupboards/display units for us. We also want to change the sofas, add curtains and rugs etc and of course move all the stuff back in that we moved upstairs while the painting was being done.
The walls are mainly in the stone colour (Skimming Stone) that's also in the hallway and the chimney breast is Green Smoke. I'd love to know who thinks up all these weird and wonderful names for paint colours.
Oh and the standard lamp will have to go. Definitely not in keeping with the room now. It never was really but it came with us when we moved and this is the first time we've done any work in the living room.
We decided against putting the TV back on the wall. It will stand on top of the new cupboards when they're built but for now it will stand on the old base cupboard that was rejected by the British Heart Foundation when they came to take the other units earlier this week. A blessing in disguise that it didn't go. It has meant ordering a new stand for the TV though. I really don't remember getting rid of the original stand when we had the TV mounted on the wall, but I have searched everywhere I can think of in the house without finding it. Of course once the new stand is here I will probably locate the old one. Just another example of one thing leading to another......
I love the pop of green!! It looks great and more is coming! Thanks for sharing your new look!! Very nice, Wendy!
