Time for Change

Now that I am about done messing with the playroom/bedroom, I'm ready to do something else! I am always thinking of things I can do or change in the house. My poor hubby has to constantly hear about my "grand" ideas for the house. If it wasn't for him grounding me I think our house would be in constant construction. I'm daily moving things around and thinking of new ideas from knocking down walls to getting different colored candles. 

Recently, I have been contemplating changing the entire look of our living room! I originally painted the room back when Jared and I were dating. That was over three years ago so it is definitely time for a change! Don't you think? Hopefully this time it won't take me as long to find the right color. I'm pretty sure there is about four coats under the coat it is now. Good thing I like painting! 

Here are some pictures of the living room right now... 

I really do love our living room, I LOVE the color of it. But I'm ready for a change. 

Here are some inspirational pictures I've been looking at. 

I love the look of this living room! I would love to do a grasscloth panel on our wall next to the door. Since we don't have a foyer I love how the panel in a way separates the room and gives the idea of a entry way. 

Another part of this living room I want is the curtains! The chevron curtains are awesome. I especially like how thick the stripe is.  She used plain white IKEA curtains and painted the chevron stripes. I see a DIY project in my future! 

I'm thinking about moving our TV to the opposite wall from where it is now. I have seen a lot of gallery walls here recently and I love the idea of including the TV in the mix. 

So for COLOR I really have started to fall in love with gray! The color used in the inspirational living room the lady mixed herself! Thanks a lot! :) So I went to another blog for ideas. On one of my favorite blogs  (emilyaclark.blogspot.com) she used one paint card to base all her walls in her house off of. What a great idea!! 

Therefore I really like the Amazing Gray she uses in her living room (happens to be the same color pictured in the second gallery wall inspiration pic) 

So with all this said I got the OK from the hubby and I plan to buy paint samples today to start the process. I'm a little nervous with the gray walls and our greenish couch. Hopefully it will look okay. If not back to square one!
