New year, new living space!

We've been living with a couch that I've been less than fond of for years. When we bought it, we picked it up wrapped, brand-new and signed for it. However, turned out we were signing that it was in perfect condition and we had no recourse otherwise. It so happens, the couch had a broken frame board. Add to that fabric that pilled up and required regular shaving (with my kiddo's hair trimmer!) and a couple of holes chewed in it, courtesy to our foster pup and you've got one annoying piece of furniture. However, it was not cheap and we have not been in a position to replace it, so it stayed.

Finally, it came time that we could purchase a new couch (nearly 7 years later) and I was very excited. A friend clued me into a great local furniture store that ordered name-brand (Ashley in this case) furniture at wholesale cost and her friend inspired me with an Instagram photo of an accent wall she painted in her own home. Next thing I knew, my new living room began taking shape!

Here's the paint photo that inspired me to try out Behr's Peacock Feather as an accent:

And here's our living room before:

And after!

 

I love the look and feel of the space now, and just want to curl up on the couch and stay there!

What colors are inspiring you these days? Any plans to change any rooms in your own home?
