John has been wanting to get a grill for quite some time, so we pulled the trigger and bought a Weber charcoal grill at Lowes. Using our “welcome to the neighborhood” 10% discount, of course. While there, I picked up a “few” navy blue paint chips. We’re also trying to decide how to paint the kitchen, so I threw a few gray ones in there too.

This baby could be mine (or yours) for $328 from Urban Outfitters.
We would get a pair of chairs and either have them in front of the window or float them in the middle of the room, facing the couch. I’m still not 100% sure. Is that too much blue if the walls are going to be blue? At first, John thought the pattern was too busy, but might be coming around. I’m OK with the pattern since the couch and drapes will be neutral.
Then I saw this when looking at rugs. Blue walls. White trim. Hardwood floors. Neutral rug.

Now I’m thinking, what if the accent chairs were gray? Or maybe upholster an ottoman like that for a coffee table? We also plan on bringing in an antique trunk as a bench/side table/accent table. Of course pillows and art will add a pop of color. Here’s how my inspiration board looks right now:
Nothing is set in stone and some of these items are place holders. (i.e. I don’t think I’ll be getting everything from West Elm.) There are also more things to add to the mix: artwork (framed blueprints?), possible bookshelves, end tables, drapes, etc. Overall, I think it’s a pretty good start. John talked about painting the room over 4th of July weekend.
Hope you all have a fantastic weekend. John will definitely be grilling and I’ll probably be scouring Craigslist for all sorts of things. What do you have planned?

I am adoring everything about that living room with the fireplace!!
