So it’s only taken me 2 years but I’m FINALLY getting my condo together. Some of you may recall I went on a similar mission last year but said mission derailed once we’d finished painting. But not this time. Not this time!!!
Pieces are already picked out and just need to be purchased. We finally got the flat-screen TV we’ll be mounting onto a wall and below will be an IKEA hack idea I had for a media unit. After much indecision, I’ve finally decided on accent colors – isn’t that the hardest part? There’s nothing stopping us now.
Here’s a mood-board of what I’m envisioning for my main living area. I wanted to keep the walls gray (they are currently a very light gray) as I’m working with exposed concrete ceilings and a pillar. Then to add a punch of color, I plan on accenting with yellows and teals. I love, love, love it!
I’m so glad I was able to work the Toronto Ork Poster into the theme. I think it’s the perfect room to give it a home. Obviously I’ll be adding more wall items but that in itself is a hard task so I need to think about it some more. I have the Pottery Barn chairs. Two of them in fact. They aren’t ideal for condo dwelling (they are oversized) but I can’t bare to part with them. There’s also a dining table (I have an open concept condo) that compliments the theme perfectly with cute leather chairs.
Like last time, I plan on sharing the whole process with you. We’re slated to start two weeks from now and it could not come soon enough. Though I wouldn’t mind skipping the whole re-painting part. Something tells me it’ll be worth it though. It already feels like home!
Stay tuned.

love it! I had a living room redo last year and it was so much fun, wish I could do it again. I have the same lamps, must be a T.O. thing:)
Have fun!
Love the colour palette and all your picks. The crappy fake floors made me laugh out loud! We are currently in a mad rush to redecorate/decorate our home of two years. For some reason we need it done NOW lol. All rooms are sorted and painting has started but living area is causing us to disagree! Good luck, can’t wait to see more.
That Target jar is great! Love the poster too… I agree about the palette. good choices…
Can’t wait to see more!
Lately I’ve been having this plan in my brain about my future studio + living place – like how I want the long table to be and what colour the walls should be. Eeek. We haven’t even found the place yet!
I love the palette! The green is especially appealing and almost like the “new” neutral. I’m really impressed with Pier 1 lately … that pillow could be triple the price on any modern website!
