Hi Cuties, I want to share with you what I was up to last weekend. I finally painted
the accent walls in our family room. For those of you that have been following
my blog for a while, you know I have been sick of the "ginger red" accent walls
we had in the family room. I hate painting, so I lived with it for much longer than I should have.
BUT, I finally got my butt in gear and painted over the red walls
with this gorgeous rich color from Sherwin Williams called
"GAUNTLET GRAY"
Here is a reminder of what the color was
BEFORE, very cozy and warm,
but it was time for a change.
It's been nice ginger red, but time for us to part...
I now think that I should paint the beige wall as well, something
with just a "touch less yellow" in the paint, and more of a
"lighter crisp". What do you think??? I think the contrast would
be much better next to the gauntlet gray!!!
I put some branches in the corner and
wrapped cute string-lights around them.
Can't wait to hear what you guys think....More of this room later...
I have lots more plans for this space!!!! Already ordered a cool
Moroccan floor pouf from World Market.
Can't wait!!
MUAHHHHHH
It looks great Christine! Much more up to date :o)

Looks great! I live that grey. Yes, a less yellow cream color would look nice. Great work.

Boy that really made a change! Looks great. The lights on the sticks are my favorite. :)
ReplyDeleteI think you should change the colour of the other wall...white or a very light grey? You have a beautiful family room and I love the tree limbs with the lights too! Diane
ReplyDeleteChristine te new paint color makes such a difference. I hope you also paint the other walls a crisper color it will make such an impact. And I can't wait to see your new pouf. I really like the branch and light idea, pinning. I am co hosting a new link party called Sweet Inspiration and would love it if you linked up with us. It runs Friday till Tuesday so we are cutting it short here, but if you put us on your list you can link up this Friday.
ReplyDeleteVeel mooier zo.
ReplyDeleteLekker weer eens veranderen.

ReplyDeleteI'm such a huge fan of grey! I like that wall you painted. I think it will open up more options for how you want to decorate this room.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and calming! Thank you for linking up to the Talk of the Town link party!
ReplyDeleteWow what a difference it looks great! I think I'm the only person in my family that likes grey and I need to get my butt in gear also. Painting is one of my least favorite activities but it needs to be done. Thank you for stopping by Celebrate Your Story and sharing this with us. Have a great Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteYour family room looks so cozy and inviting, Christine! I LOVE the dark grey accent wall! Great choice!!

Your living room looks fresh and clean and very welcoming.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with SYC.
I love the gray, it looks great with your fireplace! I agree that a cooler tone neutral for the other walls would look better next to the gray.
ReplyDeleteHi Christine. Thank you for linking up with Pinbellish however can you please swap you links for your pinterest pins? Many thanks http://www.purfylle.com/2016/05/pinbellish-36.html

Loving the new color! I would repeat it for the rest of the walls. It would make that room look bigger and showcase that gorgeous sofa.
ReplyDeleteI love it all! I think I would raise the artwork to be higher above the sofa.
ReplyDeleteLove the new paint color!! The branches with the lights look really good too. You have a very beautiful family room. Thanks for sharing at Sweet Inspiration!
ReplyDeleteOur living room is that same ginger red (came with the house) and I am SO done with it! Love your new color choice! Your family room is lovely! Thanks for sharing at Vintage Charm. xo Kathleen Charm Bracelet Diva {At Home}

ReplyDeleteGood morning! Wow, your living room looks great with it's new colours! What about painting the other wall in white? If I had time, I would repaint a great part of our home, too. My tast has changed over the past couple of years.
ReplyDeleteThank for your nice words on my last blog update. Yes, I adore those nostalgic treasures. And if you where my neighbour, we could to to yard sales together!
Warm wishes
