4th Journal Entry of our Move

The "first impression" to your home is the first room people see when they initially walk in.  That would be our living room.  Your personality can really show up here. That could be a good thing or a bad thing.  Accent walls were painted Sherwin Williams Terminal Taupe.  Not such exciting name but it really complimented our furnishings.  However, Terminal Taupe is not in this photo.  This shot of the living room is the first impression wall:

We rearranged furniture for a while and this is what we came up with.  The clock on the left side of the picture is one of my all time fav purchases.  A modest expenditure from Cato.  Love good deals. Then we took the drapes and swagged it to one side to tie in the wall and seating grouping.  Apple green is yet again a constant color theme in this room as well as most of our other rooms.  An idea taken from Joanna Gaines is my newly purchased mirror and a floral wreathe placed in the middle . Don't you just love her ideas.  Hobby Lobby and many of the flea markets in our area are carrying so many of the items she uses or similar.  This makes my life a lot easier.  An area rug sits in front of the couch and love seat.  Next entry will show you the face-on view to the right of the picture where the love seat is and sofa table.

Every time we walk into this room we love the way it turned out.  Many decorators place a coffee table in front of the couch.  This is something I considered but wanted to keep the traffic flow open and not have to walk around something each time we go to sit down.  Just an idea but it works for us.
