I’ve found that paint is the cheapest and quickest way to change up the feel of a space so I paint and I paint often 😉 I painted the walls a gray & included a fun striped wall, I painted the mantel white, and I recently painted it all again a lighter gray.
This room has such a weird light issue – with the two windows so close in the corner, some of the room is super bright but the rest of it stays in the shadows. Also, there is no overhead lighting except for right by the front door so it is crazy dark at night without the hanging light on. So we added a screen door and painted. I thought the lighter walls would help brighten up the room. Since everything else is so neutral, I wanted to add pops of color – EVERYWHERE!
I wanted to bring more life into this room so I bought some pillows at Target, picked out some Minted goodies, added a new Spring Canvas from the Naptime Diaries team, and printed some of my favorite Instagram pictures with Framebridge for the wall!

How do you decorate your home? Do you do the one-room-at-a-time-thing that constantly evolves like us? HAHA! What are your favorite elements of this room? What are your favorite things to included in a living room?
Your living room is beautiful! But not in the Too perfect for some one to actually live in it way. It looks full of life of and comfort, and I feel welcomed into just by looking at it!
We just moved in February, so we've painted and that's about as far as we have gotten into the decor evolution. That and I am slowly refinishing our table and chairs.
what a cozy & beautiful room! 🙂 love it!
Oh Bethy, I love it!! I claim a spot on the couch because I'll be spending a lot of time there hanging out with you, obvi. 😉
Love it!!
I really like the "light issues" as it adds a warm and cozy feel to your space. It's a place to escape but also a place to relax. I love it!
Your living room is gorgeous and cozy! I am excited to decorate Michael and I's apartment. He has been living there for a few years now, but it's all tans and browns – can't wait to re-do everything!
it's just beautiful! love the mantel {so much!} minted is just the best! love their prints – the mint green stand is amazing as well! great job!!!
Oh I love this! I especially love the gallery wall with the mirror thrown in! Such the perfect touch of classic with something a little funky!
Beautiful!! We painted our mantel and windowsills white a few years ago and it completely modernized our 1989 living room! Now to paint the baseboard white!!
I really like the new grey wall color. Where is it from and what color?
Oh, I just DREAM of a big fireplace and mantle I can decorate like yours! Gorgeous!
