Guess what? Well since you’ll never guess, I’m gonna spill: I painted my living room. The beloved aqua said bye bye – bring on a little grey. Although it’s not a huge change, it is a little different and I love the changes that it brings.
Don’t get me wrong, I still ♥ my aqua. But here’s where I level with ya – it was horrible to photograph. Not only for photos to show you all here, but shop photos as well. Since I kinda make a living on selling stuff online, I have to photograph it so that I can create listings. My living room has the best light of my whole house, and the blue was making the light all wonky and stuff.
I was afraid that I wouldn’t like it – but I really, really do :) The color? Once Upon A Time, which was a swatch I found in the Disney section at The Home Depot. I asked my friendly paint guy to make it in Glidden paint, which he was happy to do. The fact that I love the new show by the same name – pure coincidence.
On a separate note… notice my tree skirt? It’s my book page garland from my Halloween mantle. Gotta love gettin’ extra mileage out of a cheap trick, eh? That’s just the kinda stuff that cranks my tractor!
Love the new look.... and thanks for the color name... my son just bought a new house and I'm trying to convince him to use something other than white, this color just might do the trick :)

PS love the idea of the reuse of the paper garland!
I love your beautiful room color, the tree and all the decor. My favorite is the simple "Joy" on the wall.
