This is the Den/Living Room on the second floor of the house. We only need to paint and decorate the space. We seem to spend the most amount of time in this room so it would be nice to get it fixed up before the holidays. I was pondering painting the walls a green shade and the modeling white which will be consistent throughout the house. Check out some of my green wall inspiration here. The room is kinda dark and doesn’t get much sunlight till late in the day. So many choices! You can see my ugly brown sofa in the photo below. The sofa has to stay until our money tree starts growing again next Spring! I guess its fine. Super cozy but I hate that the shape is so heavy looking.

    Love your blog :-) Never commented before, but I had to share that my couch looks just like yours and I'm in the middle of gut-renovating our NYC apt. We also went for green-blue paints and settled on healing aloe by Benjamin Moore. If you've never seen that color, check it out. It's on our walls and turned out lovely! Thx for all the great inspirations!
