Like most of the city, we are literally trapped in our condo, since the hill leading to the bigger road is a sheet of ice. I have yet to have my first day of work (what are the chances?!), and so instead we have been busying ourselves with movies, reading and Internet surfing. It's been a relaxing mini-break, to say the least.
While I have had so much time to sit in the living room, I started looking around at what other Home Improvement projects we might want to take on. Leave it to Cabin Fever to get a girl's mind working, because what do I come across in the latest Pottery Barn but this lovely spread on Gallery Walls:
As you might remember from Summer 2009, we painted the living room a bright and cheery yellow on the main wall. It contrasts well with the deep red wall on the other side in the dining room, and I like it combined with the black and white furniture and decor.
However, how AMAZING would it look painted that dusty blue/gray? The article talks about how perfect that color is to put behind pictures that are black and white (check), and we could paint the whole room that color, adding up a gallery of more photos around the couch. Even better, this would transition flawlessly from the living room into the green and brown-based Master Suite.
Note: Pottery Barn used Benjamin Moore Buxton Blue HC-149.
I am smitten. Along with the track lights and other smaller ideas I had, re-doing the paint scheme in the living room might be the next weekend project ahead. If only I had had this idea BEFORE the storm! Then we could have knocked this out while hanging out here at home :)

Love that color blue! We used something similar in our guest room. Also, I'm loving gallery walls right now! I am mostly done with one in our living room to help blend our TV in a bit (http://blwardfamily.blogspot.com/2010/12/living-room-gallery-wall.html)
Have fun :-)
...and then die from paint fume inhalation! fab!
Thanks Lindsay! And I love the look your room has going on!! Funny how we both are inspired by that same type of PB picture. I love that catalog for ideas, even if I can't afford their things. Great idea on the paper to line it up, I did that on the arrangement I have going on too, even though yes, mine is also pretty symmetrical instead of a "gallery" haha.
And C - you make me laugh, as always :)
