At different times of day this room could look completely different and I’m leaning into that. A chameleon color that I’ve loved before, and once I said it, I knew it had to be. The blue-green-gray color stood out to me and actually reminded me of Pigeon. To sum it up, we’re seeing less and less of high contrast paint colors (dark tones and light tones) and I couldn’t wait to do it in my own home. When it came down to it, I’ve been wanting to use a mid-tone paint color ever since I shared all my thoughts on the newer trend in this post here. Magic right? Although these aren’t any actual paint colors, it was SO helpful to see some options of what this room could be. So we decided to “try-on” a few paint colors with the magic of technology. I was in a loop and I needed to switch things up. You know what they say about the definition of insanity right? Something about doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Spending my day walking in and out of the living room, holding up the paint deck in different light, wasn’t getting me anywhere however. I wanted a color that would compliment and support the neighboring rooms like the green island in the kitchen, the blue in the pantry, and the wallpaper in the powder bath. I channeled my own tips in choosing a paint color and palette that flows from room to room that I shared here and that was a good place to start. I’ve had decision paralysis over it for weeks, and I couldn’t for the life of me muster up confidence in any colors. To be honest, selecting a paint color for the living room has given me some major headaches. We really tried to show how the room truly looks in person, and obviously the different lighting changes what you see. What do you think–are you team lights off or lights on? The furniture shots were in early evening. I do PROMISE this room will continue to evolve in furnishings and decor (hi, we gotta fill some blank walls!) and lighting around the room–for a shop your house session, it’s feeling pretty darn good. We didn’t buy a single new thing and it feels so much better. Of course when you paint a new room, you’ve got to rearrange the furniture. Just recently we shared the living room “today,” and I mentioned that a lot of our furniture wasn’t translating well and that the layout needed some adjusting. This is a mood-ring of a paint color and I couldn’t love it more. BeforeĪnd a little reminder of what this room looked like before we even installed new flooring. I think I’ve been wanting to bring it back for a while now and I can’t think of a better place for it than our entire living room. We first used Pigeon in our home office, 5 years ago and decided it was time for it to make a comeback. I chose a trusted color, one I’ve used before and recommended to many– Pigeon by Farrow & Ball. We painted the living room–like all of it. Here's to the royal couple as they take on their new journey as a family-hopefully we'll be getting some sneak peeks soon of their new garden-to-be.You saw it in Casual Friday first. It's a good thing the royal couple is renovating the entire exterior now that Archie has arrived-according to PEOPLE, royal biographer Ingrid Seward described the property of Frogmore Cottage as “pretty dilapidated”.
As for the flowers Meghan will be planting, we're betting that Princess Diana's favorite ( blue forget-me-nots) and yellow Chrysanthemums (the flower named to honor baby Archie!) will be filling the renovated gardens at Frogmore Cottage. Aside from re-landscaping the entire outside garden, they're planning on redecorating the outside doors, windows, walls, and adding in some nice garden lighting as well.
