No, we aren't becoming more environmentally conscious...unless you count decorating as becoming more conscious of your home environment!
Here is the before picture of a long wall that proceeds from our fireplace all the way to the kitchen. At first we had it painted a chocolate milk color (sorry can't remember the color name) and I just had three frames of our beautiful kiddos running the length of it.
Then I got bored with it....
Then I decided that we needed to paint it...
We repainted our kitchen Grape Leaves (by Behr) and I LOVE it!
The chocolate milk color looked a little drab, so I set off to add some vibrancy to my plain sad wall.
BUT, I started to run out of paint....
What to do?
Mix Grasscloth (by Behr) and Grape Leaves (by Behr) and you get a beautiful light celery color that compliments the darker green perfectly!
I created a visual divider with the paint and then I started putting up my frames...
Here is my end result!
(Please don't pay any mind to the popcorn ceiling!)

We love our new wall!
The little piece of paper (that doesn't have a frame yet) reads: "Find joy in the little things!"
I am certainly finding joy in this little thing! :)
All total the redo cost me $23.47 (the cost of a gallon of paint!). I shopped my house and came up with the HOPE sign and candle sconce. We had the leaf wall sconce in our bedroom and it goes much better in the dining room now :)
Oh and the photography is just me using a point and shoot camera, my computer printer and some $4.99 frames from Michael's Craft Store! I love those frames because they make any photo look like it was done in a photo studio!
The new colors are soothing and inviting. I love my new livingroom wall!
