1 Thing I Look Forward To When We Move

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

The predominant colors in our former house sitting and eating areas are: brown, yellow and red. These are warm traditional colors. They are pleasing to the eye and I still love being surrounded by them. I feel calm in our former home because I still enjoy seeing the colors brown, yellow, and red. However, change can be re-energizing.

1 Thing I Look Forward to When We Move is a completely new look and feel in our new home. Our buyer has purchased many of our dark brown items: the dark brown sectional and ottoman, the dark brown mesquite bar stools, the two dark brown armchairs, and the dark brown square mirror. The dark brown plantation shutters, yellow walls, and red accent wall obviously stay with our former home. I’m curious if the new owner will repaint the red accent wall? The red ottomans are coming to our new home, but they will be reupholstered in a new color.

So what is the color theme in the interior of the new home? In 2011 until it’s time for a change: grey, navy, cream, white and a splash of yellow. I am so excited. Recently, we decided on a navy leather sofabed from Copenhagen. The new house will come together fast.
