Going Neutral in the Great Room!
I’ve been Neutralizing the Great Room in our House! We have had the yellow walls for several years now, and while they were fun and bright, i am ready for a change! I am in the process of taking out all the knick knacks and color and slip covering and painting the furniture to give me a blank neutral canvas to work with!
It feels so fresh and new, yet i find myself missing the color… I had thought that i would bring in blues and greens only, but after looking around at the accessories and art that we have, i think that i will use the bright colors in accents, vases, art, pillows etc… then i can change them out as the seasons and my moods change!
right now we are in the neutral stage, and it feels good! The room is also very empty because i am in the process of re-finishing several pieces right now.
here are some before and afters….
And notice the Drop Cloth Curtains, Slipcovers on the Couch, Chair, Table Runner and Dining room Chairs…
yes i have gone Drop Cloth Crazy! I just love it!!
I just finished up the Couch Slipcover! It wasn’t as hard as i thought it would be , and i still have a few seams i need to tighten, but i love it!
I will be writting a post on it soon!

I love neutral rooms too. I am planning the same thing in my living room. I want an all neutral room to relax in. thanks for sharing.
You home is so serene and soothing. I just visited your drop cloth post too. Very nice! The transformation is fabulous. Are your curtains drop cloths too? I have drop cloth curtains that I made about five years ago and they have held beautifully.
Oh, I love the nuetral! I love how it makes your furniture and wall decor pop! gorgeous!
Love the neutral, so soft and pretty! The small hits of green are great, just enough color.
