Redesigning and Redecorating

We moved into a new house last summer.  It's a great house.  We got really lucky when purchasing it and it required almost no changes.  What a huge relief after living in a house that was built in 1929!

But...theres a lot to be said about making a house your own.  In this case there was something off that brought my mood down but I couldn't put my finger on it.  After months of toiling over this I realized it was the silver sage color of paint in the living room.  So off to Benjamin Moore I went and I picked out an off white shade that had pink undertones.  I've read that pink creates a warmer feel to a room.  And...Voila!  My amazing painter had it done in one day and the room has a brighter, warmer and lighter feel to it that lifts moods and makes people feel more cheerful.

It's amazing the difference that just changing one shade of paint color in a house can make.  And it compliments the restoration hardware sofas and media console that I just purchased.
