Grays and Yellows

I cant ever love this living room, it is long and skinny and doesn’t have full walls, (because of the window and banister)  I cant ever get it just right, so I continue to change it and change it.  I need some fresh perspective, maybe a shopping trip???  I am liking the grays and yellows and so I changed out my dark reds and browns finally.  I have been wanting to do that for a while but my curtains and pillows are really nice quality so I didn’t want them to get tossed.  The curtains may, but the pillows I could recover.  I love the colors, they are just what I want, but it seems a little beachy, probably because of all of the white (or maybe it is the swimsuit model).  Whatever, it is what it is until I change my mind again.  Long story short, here are the pictures.

could you even tell a difference??

They had the most perfect lampshades on clearance at Target and I didn’t get them, I am so mad at myself.  I hope they are still there on Monday when I go back.

I want to add something to frame the kids pictures out a little more.  Hey at least they are all there and only Rett’s is outdated.  All of the walls need help, if I knew what I wanted I would probably have it but I don’t.

I think my fave part are the curtains, although Mom just informed me that curtains pooling on the floor isn’t “in” anymore.  I am always so last season!  (or last 2 seasons ago!)

I'm thinking I need to repaint my two tables, maybe gray with dark tops?  I don’t know. Wouldn’t it be fun to paint the piano …… Ryan already told me no.  bummer.
