I had a tough decision to make last night …
words …
or pictures?
And would it be okay to post the pictures without the words?
The whole photographing and editing pictures of my navy and white living room remodel took much longer than I antcipated …
Which led to an internal debate of whether I should just post the pictures with a “here it finally is …”
Or wait and compose words to go with the pictures …
You know, like telling you about how the wall color is Sherwin Williams Naval …
And how the amazing ceiling fan came from Lamps Plus …
Along with the amazing mirror; from Lamps Plus too …
I could also tell you how the rug started it all …
Or how I’m in love with my table that I painted with navy and white stripes …
Or the fabrics …
don’t get me started on the fabrics …
*Sigh*
I even had big plans to give you the whole budget breakdown …

We are going with a Sherwin Williams nautical room too. My wife chose a darker “Dignity” blue.
I am having trouble picking the white. What color white did you use?
