BUTTERY YELLOW GALLERY WALL

I got inspired last year to paint a wall yellow when I was at a doctor's office. I blogged about it here : http://dassabydesign.blogspot.com/2013/09/wall-gallery-doctor-office.html So I went ahead and painted this living room space in the same color, maybe a few shades lighter or darker depending on the lighting. I love it! For the gallery wall I did a collection of some of my favorite pieces instead of the usual contemporary similar looking frames which I totally have nothing against. Here is what the wall looks like now...I will do a full post on the before, during and after soon.

Thank you for stopping by, keep it Dassa by Design.

LIVING ROOM

I decided to spruce up the living room a little bit right before we got packing up for moving day. This is my favorite part of this house and am sure gonna miss it a lot! I love the huge bay window, the floating-ness (yes that's a word) of the room, the glowing 20 year old hardwood flooring.I love it all!

Here's how it went down, I took a few before pics....I chose this furniture 4 years ago, now I can't stand the color and texture of it at all. I have come a long way with all things color, currently am in love with everything gray. The colors in this room are very safe and monochromatic. Am currently more daring with my colors, case in point...my Nairobi hot pink kitchen that I am hugely embarrassed of or by. Also the lease on this house did not allow to drill on the walls, most art had to be glued in or stapled, sigh!

Took pictures from all angles, it's a long room and once again..photography is not my stronghold. 

I hung some art on either  side of the window. The sheers were here when we moved in, I tried to change them but could not get anything as long as the existing ones. In a perfect world, I would have gone with a sage hue for sheers probably on a rod pocket, I love rod pockets. I also put the lamp on a cute end table and added a vase with decorative sticks for a little drama.

That chandelier, I also love. It hangs above the entry door downstairs and looks really awesome at night.

Different view of the room, the masai batik I got from the gallery and curio shops at Hilton Nairobi a while back.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a fabulous day or night.
