Fresh Paint & Spooky Decor

I finished painted my living room and I LOVE IT! I really wanted my living room to have a much lighter and fresh feel and that’s what I got. It’s not even close to being finished. The walls are still bare and my furniture needs to be rearranged but I just have to share!

This is what my living room looked like when we first moved in. The walls and the ceiling were the same tan color.

Here is the new color. Its Valspar Anti Meridian aka Heaven ;) You can see the old tan on my other walls….. I’m not completely done yet lol

My furniture is going to be totally flipped around to open up the space. I am going to make some curtains and pillows as soon as I’m done painting. That beauty of a wingback in the corner was my first reupholster job ever. I love the blue and orange together!
Here is my gallery wall with the tan paint.
Here is the wall with the blueish/green paint and some spookified halloween friends. What do you think about the Halloween stuff? My husband thought I was leaving it like this for good lol I got the black cheese cloth stuff, the skeleton head, and black birds at the dollar store.

I picked up these cute skeleton’s from the dollars store.

It’s all coming together….. slowly. I can’t wait to show you the final room!

Gallery Wall

Well… I got something done; partially lol ;) I started working on my gallery wall that I’ve been dreaming off. Here is the beginning of it. I need to add something to the open spot on the top right. I’m thinking either a book wreath or some of those popular antler things. What do you think?  You see that awkward white box inside of the frame on the top left? Its my doorbell. I plan on somehow covering it either with burlap or placing a picture on it. Yes… the skeleton and Mr. Black Bird are not regulars…. they will disappear after Oct. 31st ;) I still need to fill in a few gaps with some more frames. By the way did ya notice those paint spots at the bottom? lol I can’t decide!

I think I want to add one of these cute little cubbies below my gallery. It will keep the kiddos away from the frames and provide storage for the area. My front door is to the right of this wall and we always have shoes scattered everywhere so this would be perfect for shoe storage.

Back to those paint spots….. so I spent time rearranging and placing everything on my wall and then I decided I REALLY need to paint my living room. When we bought our house all of the walls were covered in the usual builder tan. I was to chicken to paint my brand new walls so they’ve stayed that color for THREE YEARS! Welp…. I’m sick of it ;) Now I need to decide on the right color. Ya know choosing paint for pretty much the entire main area of your home is no easy task. Its pricy to purchase all of the paint and it’s going to be A LOT of work painting all of it. What if I hate it when its done? EEEEK

{left paint color: Valspar Sage Morsel} {right paint color: Valspar Anti Meridian}

These are the two colors I’m trying to decide between right now. During different times of day they either look darker/lighter so I’m having a hard time choosing. Which one do you like? Also, I’m still trying to finish that darned coffee table but I can’t seem to make it look right lol I think I’m on a bad luck streak right now….. maybe it’s not the best time to be painting my entire house?
