Family Room Makeover

A year ago my family room was cottage, shabby chic décor~ heavy on the white with accents of soft pink and green.  And I loved it.  Pink is one of my favorite colors.  But I was ready for a change and I finally took the plunge to go over to a more French Country~Cottage look.  I got rid of all the pink and started adding in lots more white with black and green accents. 

It has been a work in progress and I have had so much fun adding new finds from thrifting and creating.  The biggest step though was the paint.  I have white wainscoting and the previous owners had topped it with a soft almond color.  It worked with my shabby look but as I added more and more white, I knew I needed some color to make the white pieces ‘pop’.  So for months I’ve been looking at paint chips and trying to find the perfect green.  I finally settled on Frosted Pine at Lowe’s. 

Here is a sneak peak of one wall and I’ll add more pics later when I am ready for the reveal.
