Navy & White Living Room Reveal

September 17, 2013 By Linda 22 Comments

Navy and White Decor: Coastal Living Room Design Ideas. 

navy-white-living-room

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 …

    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?

      It was a mix of being a blogger and a pr professional. I have no problem reaching out to social media marketing folks and seeing if they would be willing to help me in exchange for a blog post. As I always tell me kids, the answer is always no if you don’t ask! 🙂

      And thank you for your kind words! 🙂

    Love the little narratives behind your posts haha. I really like the color choice too. I feel as though Navy is a hard color to incorporate. All the other accessories really came together to bring the color/feel of the room to life. Not sure if you or anyone else has ever thought about using some protection film for the flooring/carpet when remodeling but I have found it to be quite helpful in my couple projects 🙂 Came across this post the other day and I am starting to find my uses for it everywhere lol again really great job on the room.

      Thank you! I actually found them on Etsy but that was quite a few years ago. If you go to Etsy and search navy white nautical prints you can find some similar ones.

      Thank you so much and your kitchen sounds amazing! I love the idea of the large floral wallpaper! I’m sure it goes amazing with the navy walls! I too covered my eyes after the first coat, wondering “what have I done!!!” 🙂
