Teal Appeal.

As I browse Pinterest, I notice that I’m drawn to rustic looking teal furniture.  Someday, I’d love to redecorate… after the kids are big of course, because otherwise it’s a waste of time.  If you’d asked me 6 months ago what type of things I’d like to  see in my house, I would have had no idea.  But thanks to this addicting site, I’ve got my dream home all planned out.

Want to see some of the stuff I love? These things are all do-able in our current house too, aside from painting the walls.

The mismatched chairs are adorable- I love how they look!  They are paired with a teal table, which is what initially caught my eye.  But we own a matching set, so another idea would be this:

I love this table, with the teal legs. Just a cute pop of color! It makes me want to paint our table.

Not only do I love the teal wall, but I love the way the decor goes all the way to the floor and is just an eclectic mix of things.

BUT to get around the painting of the wall, perhaps I could hang something like this in the dining room to coordinate with the table:

It seems like a simple project that would add a lot of color to our boring white military housing walls.

Our dining room/living room is one big area, and our front door is right in the middle of them. We currently have our cubbies there, and tend to toss our mail on the top of them. I love this painted shutter that’s used as a catch-all.

And now I want to repaint our cubbies too, so that they’d be a shade of teal. Maybe I could even add some patterning like on this gorgeous dresser:

Now to convince Aaron we need to get rid of our living room sofas and get something that would coordinate…

I’m thinking of a neutral colored sectional with assorted teal throw pillows?

And if I’m lucky I can find an old door and make this awesome coffee table- except I’d use teal paint!

    Trade the teal for lime green or fuchsia and I’m sold! I already have 5 mismatched chairs . . .

    I love teal and unexpected pieces that pop are perfect for this color!
