Getting There...slowly but surely

Painters finished late yesterday afternoon.  I love the colors we chose.  Even though I chose two different colors, you can't tell much of a difference in the two spaces.  The family room lighting isn't as bright as my old house, so I had to go with a lighter color.  I love the results against the dark gray furniture and white trim.  In a week or two I will move forward with decorating.  I have a very large and high wall behind the couch to decorate.  Thinking of a mirror and organic bloom frames flanking either side of the mirror.  The breakfast nook (not in the pictures below) also has a large and tall wall to decorate.  I have ledges matching the table.  I will put artwork and a few decorative items on those three ledges.  I think once the decorating is done, it will feel more cozy.  We ordered a 9x12 shag area rug and that should be in next week. Jim (and his partner in crime, my Dad) hooked up the power and HDMI cable above the fireplace.  We got a 47 inch tv for that space (not to obtuse at all, thank goodness).  I am not super happy about having a tv above the fireplace, but the room is wide opened and not huge, so that was the most logical place for it - especially with the amount of seating we strived to get in there (room for lots of family parties!!!)
