Construction on my new house will start in the next couple months. In anticipation, I have started to gather decorative items and have been perusing the Jo-Ann Fabrics and Home Depot (my usual ‘haunts’) for paint and fabric inspiration. I found a beautiful fabric that I am using as inspiration for the future living room:
It has soft greens, golds, blues, and cream colors that play nicely with the gray/green/khaki color of my sofa. Jo-Ann fabrics was selling it for $39.99/yard (holy cow!!) but I found it online for only $12.99/yard. I will only be using it to cover a few couch cushions and perhaps reupholster a $5 chair I bought at Goodwill so I only ordered 2 yards.
I really like the colors in this picture I found on The Lettered Cottage so I am also using it as inspiration:
I have narrowed down paint color choices for the kitchen/dining area, the living room, and the office/2nd bedroom/craft room (from left to right in the picture below):
I tend to gravitate toward soft neutrals, nothing to bright or jarring. I will probably do some sort of stripes on the dining room wall to tie the living room color to the dining room color. Something like this:
Although the color of this carpet seems gray, when I went to see a sample in person, it was more of a green/blue/gray. I’m glad I saw it in person before making any decisions! I will definitely be making more decisions regarding the house in the coming months, so check back in for updates!
