Let the painting begin

When Bryan and I bought our house it was almost 4 months before we got married. It worked out great because we were able to do a lot of work to the house to make it ours. Well at the time we had no furniture, so all of our rooms (except the kitchen) got painted a neutral color. The living room, hallway, and office all got the same shade of ivory.......BORING!!!!

Well it has been 4 years later and I was over it. We have done a lot to our house since moving in, including hardwood in the living room. So I took my inspiration for the new wall color from my area rug. It has the new color, "summer solstice", in it.

Here is one corner of the room.......
