Pinterest

I have a new favorite website called Pinterest. The Pinterest website describes itself this way:

"Think of Pinterest as a virtual pinboard — a place where you can create collections of things you love and "follow" collections created by people with great taste."

I'm a big fan of using Pinterest to find great home decor images. To be honest, I don't like the color scheme that's going on in our house. We have a lot of brown going on in the living room, but not a lot of color accents. I found this mood board at Young House Love and I'm a fan of the color scheme because it incorporates my favorite color combo- red and turquoise.

The turquoise & red color scheme first made an appearance in my life at our wedding. You may remember seeing our turquoise & red details:

And by the way, I got the color inspiration for our wedding from this photo from marthastewart.com.

Since we have a lot of brown in the room already, we could keep a lot of the same things and just add to the room. I think I'm going to work off this mood board to add some "pops" of color to our room.

I think the first step is going to be painting the main floor. As of now, it's a soft sage color which really doesn't go with the color scheme. Our house was newly painted when we moved in & we haven't touched a paint brush since we moved in. Now may be the time...

So maybe my summer project will be to spruce up the living room!
