Let there be light

We have lived in our home for 5 years this past December and since that day we have lived in a sea of builders beige but not anymore. The hubby loves to give his opinion on what he would like to see in the house but in the end I can usually sell my idea :)
I of course didn't take any before pictures (rookie blogger mistake) but I did find some photos that will give you an idea on the huge improvement. The living room, entry way and dining room are all open and connected so I needed a color that would flow through all of them and I am in love! Not to mention good bye to the ugly red leather and hello to the fresh, clean look of my new IKEA living room set.

ahh the after...

 The dining room was a barn red which I loved but it was time for a change




 Also, finished this crazy area by the steps in the entry way, really makes things so much brighter

Love this wall, all my beautiful A's all in one spot. Would you believe those are faux canvas from walmart...$10! I love a good deal
