It is an oatmeal color similar to drop cloth material, with gray stitching and gray buttons. It was on clearance so I decided instead of getting white I would get this color, and I love it!
It has set the stage for the rest of the décor in the room, but one wall remained a challenge. The wall above the sofa.
For some reason this wall has been a huge challenge for me!
For the longest time I could not decide which direction to take this space. I had several difference ideas but none of them came to fruition. In fact, I had purchased a canvas picture of my family, several different pictures, candle holders, etc. and nothing seemed to work so I just gave up.
Behind the scenes, I found this white basket at a thrift store. It was worn but it had good bones so I bought it thinking I would use it on my coffee table , but I never did so I got frustrated with it and put it in my garage sale pile.
Then on a trip to a home décor store I found this little stitching that had all the right elements for my space.
The colors were spot on for my living room, but where would I put it?
When I got home I walked passed my garage sale bin and the light bulb went off.
Why don't I use this old basket as a shelf?!?!
So I hug it up with some command strips and started accessorizing it, and immediately knew it was meant to be!
Then I remembered that I had chalk painted some thrift store baskets and thought I could use them to create a grouping further down the wall.
I had everything I needed to decorate this space, it just needed to be pulled together!
I love the combination of beige an gray together with pops of black or white. Its classic farmhouse and fits me and my home.
Now this space is warm and inviting and no longer a blank wall!
All it takes is imagination and resourcefulness sometimes to bring everything together. So before you spend money on new, shop your stash, look around the room and don't be afraid to move things around or repurpose things you already have.
Have a great week!
