Boring to Bold
With a house filled with boring gray walls, it has taken us a little while to decide what we wanted in this bright front living room. After years of bland, we opted for dramatic with a little help from Valspar’s Jasper paint color.
Originally we had planned to add a slat wall and give the room dimension. But after seeing the color on the wall it became clear it was too perfect to cover with wood slats. But have no fear those slats are coming on an adjacent wall soon.
After the color was on the wall. We selected a large print from John Francis McCarthy called “Five Lakes” which beautifully highlights the sunset across the 5 Finger Lakes in Upstate New York. We added in gold sconces from Amazon to set off the wall. What I love about the sconces is they have 3 color options, soft white, bright white and daylight white. They are rechargeable bulbs with a remote control. They add the perfect level of sophisticated light to the room.
