Good morning, sweet friends. I am so happy that you are joining me today for another tour of my new home. Lots of work has been going on at my house, and I am so excited to show you the living room. As I stated in the previous post, most of the house was painted a dark brown mauve.
You can see below how the room looked when we toured the home before buying it.
Now for the new and improved space….
We painted the walls the same color as we painted the foyer, Benjamin Moore Straw. It is amazing how much brighter and lighter it makes this space. It is such a transformation!
Most of the decor in this room is from my previous home. I did purchase a new rug, a couple of chairs, and a lamp from a local consignment shop.
Below are two French blue chairs and a red lamp that I purchased at the consignment shop.
The living room has built-ins on each side of the fireplace. It is a wonderful place to display some of my blue and white collection.
I wanted so badly to display the picture below in my living room. However, it’s size was just too small. Therefore, I decided to make it larger with a plate display. I love to use plates as wall art, and I adore the blue color against the yellow walls.
I am so happy that you stopped by for today’s tour. Mr. Bleu and I still have lots to do, but we have come a long way. I can’t wait to show you more! Thursday, I will be posting my dining room. Take care and have a wonderful Monday!!!

Beautiful !
Thank you, Donna! I hope that you are having a wonderful week!!!
Love your new home. We have very similar tastes in blue and white with touches of red and the wall color. And so glad you didn’t place a tv over that pretty fireplace. Have fun!
Thank you, Brenda, for the sweet comment! I just couldn’t put a tv over that fireplace. There is a cabinet beside the fireplace for a tv. However, the house was built in the 90s when televisions were smaller. So, we are going to have the cabinets adjusted. For now, we just put a smaller tv in there. I am so happy that you stopped by for the tour. I hope that you are having a wonderful week!!!
You are making great progress and it’s fun trying to identify your special likes.
Thank you, Linda!
