By choosing a light blue rug for the living room, I knew I’d probably have to repaint my aqua console table. Once the rug was delivered, my suspicions were confirmed -the different shades of blue just did not look good together!


I debated a few different color options, but eventually settled on navy. I wanted a bright navy, so I ended up choosing Deep Royal by Behr.


I’m so happy with my paint choice – it’s the perfect shade of navy! Now I just need to update the artwork and finish styling the table.


And of course I have to share a wide shot of the table and rug together in the living room (and Ringo):


The navy table looks so much better with the light blue rug. The blue tones complement each other instead of clashing like the last color. Plus navy furniture is just so pretty!

And with that, here’s an update on the living room to-do list:

Find sectional
Replace arm chair
Buy rug
Find coffee table
Sew throw pillows
Buy garden stool
Style entertainment center shelves
