So the ideas are still swirling around in my big old head, but big things are in the works! We've been living here in this house for 5 years and when we bought this place I wasn't quite sure how I felt about style and color so we picked some things and it was OK. A few years later with looking at blogs, furniture stores, and Pinterest (by the way - you can follow me on Pinterest by clicking HERE), I have a much better sense of what I like and what isn't quite me. I look around and it just isn't doing it for me anymore.
So what to change? The change is more than a few throw pillows or new accessories. I've been doing THAT for 5 years and it always helps but doesn't feel quite right. The BIG change is a full-on-whole-house color switcheroo. Oh my. Sounds daunting, right? It is going to be a lot of work, but it's going to be worth it :)
Our goal is to pick colors that flow well on the first floor (with the exception of the room that will be for Sarah - that's likely to be pink whether we like it or not!). We need to find a living room color to "go" well with the curtains because I like them. I have an idea already, so we'll do some test swatches in a few places to make sure it will work. The dining room will be trickier because we have that lovely blue chandelier that I want to keep. The kitchen wont' be done for a while, but it's going to be part of the plan. The bathrooms also won't change because I love the colors we chose there. Like I said, whole house switcheroo!
So I'm a little excited and a little nervous.
Big plans! It's exciting and daunting, isn't it? :)
ReplyDeleteShe could still have pink in her room without the walls being pink. It would make the pink more special. And then maybe you could still pick a wall color that "flowed." (That #1 rule of decorating that you pick wall color last is always the hardest to adhere to.)
