Ready for the painted living room reveal? It’s so good!
We went with Agreeable Gray in here, just like in the foyer, and the color is gorgeous.
Here’s a reminder as to how this room started:
Spoiler, our living room was a hot mess while we were painting.
Painting around furniture and a bunch of stuff you haven’t unpacked yet is a bit of a challenge.
My brothers referred to that table in the corner as the ‘lamp museum,’ and had a few nice comments about my throw pillow obsession. 🙂
Whoops. #cantgetenoughpillows
As soon as the primer went on, I was already obsessing over how much brighter it looked in here.

I ordered these curtains and these curtain rods.
They should make the room feel more complete and keep that light and airy vibe going in here.

I need to figure out what to do on the big wall above the couch but haven’t had much time to think about it yet.
(Update: See our coastal gallery wall here.)
Obviously based on the pictures, we’re playing around the furniture arrangement in here. It’s always hard when you’re working with pieces you already have, especially when you know you won’t be in the space forever. More to come on that.
What do you think? Are you obsessing with gray paint right alongside me?

You covered up green paint?? Just kidding, it looks SO much better now…much lighter!

Haha, I know, right!? Better to brighten it up though!

Hi, I saw Agreeable Gray in a model home and liked it. I bought it for my living room and the dab on the top of the can looks right. It has that file cabinet look. When I get in on the wall it looks blue in some lights. Have you noticed that? Thanks!

I didn’t notice a blue hue in our home, but paint colors look different in everyone’s home! I’d definitely recommend sampling and looking at it throughout the day so you can see how sunlight hits it, how it looks with lamp light, etc. I go into more detail on Agreeable Gray in this post: https://greenwithdecor.com/agreeable-gray-sherwin-williams/. Hope it’s helpful!
