Living Room Update

Ya'll it is the day before Thanksgiving!! How in the h e double l did that happen? We are going to blink and it is going to be Christmas. Anyone going Black Friday shopping. Our plans are low key for Thanksgiving Day. I work night shift tonight and Nick is at the firehouse. My mom is coming up today and staying a few days. That way I can nap for a few hours on Thanksgiving day. Then we are going to have a late lunch at IHOP! Why not?! It's one of the few places open. Then we are going to hit Target and Walmart and take advantage of some deals. Then it is back for night shift Thursday evening. I hope to stop by the firehouse as well so we can all see Nick. Friday we are hosting family at our house. So it was time to get the living room updated just in time.


If you caught my Life Lately post then you might have caught that we decided to update our living room. When we first moved in almost 8 years ago we painted almost everything some shade of brown. While I loved it at the time, I am now over it. For some reason it just seems boring and dreary. Nick and I stopped at Home Depot to check out some paint colors. Lord have mercy, where were Joanna and Chip when you needed them lol! So many colors, so many choices. Oh, and Nick and I do not share the same taste in home décor AT ALL!! But he loves me and let me pick the color. I was looking for something bright and cheery. We spend most of our time in the living room and I wanted to love it. I love the color I picked.

We went with Moth Gray

Old vs. New

He painted half the room one day and finished the next while I was at work and kids at school. He even had enough to do the upstairs hallway. Going with a shade of gray changed the room so much. I feel like it made the room bigger plus it is so much brighter in there. Plus the room "looks " so much cleaner even when it is messy! BONUS!!

Next up I want to do a gallery wall of Kentucky and horse prints that I have collected. I need to get on the ball and have them framed. That is my goal for the near year (as well as finally tackle Max's room as well. He is in desperate need of an update).
