I do, I have the cojones, just not the cash. Oh man, how great would that be? I’ll check out the Hale Navy, I was also considering Hauge Blue from Farrow & Ball. It needs to have a bit of yellow to compliment the red undertones in the wood work, but it doesn’t need to be green or anything. Thanks for the tip!

I do too! We’ll start with darkening up that paint color and see where it takes us ;)

Mary! I think in pillows and artwork. Plus there’s pink in the entryway now, which is just adjacent to our living room.

Go dark blue. I have a 1924 craftsman over in SLP with similar wood trim and painted my living room Benjamin Moore’s Hale Navy. It’s so good! Now if only I had the cojones to bring in a pink couch…

My living room is close to the navy blue you’re describing. Left to my own devices, I probably would have gone even darker, but my husband lobbied for the lighter blue, and I love it. You can see it here, featuring giant vintage blush pink lockers I found a couple of years ago, and partially based the room around: http://diyinpdx.com/2014/09/30/front-room-tour/ It’s Van Deusen blue, by Benjamin Moore. Your current living room color is lovely, though, and painting is a pain in the butt!

Literally right before I read this post, I just finished reading an article about why Millennial women love this shade of pink. I am loathe to consider myself a Millennial, but I do appreciate that pink, too! http://nymag.com/thecut/2016/07/non-pink-pink-color-trend-fashion-design.html

I’d love to see you translate these inspiration boards into a design for your living room.
