living room details

Thank you so much for all the super sweet comments and emails about my living room post yesterday!  I am overwhelmed by your kind words and have my butt in gear to show the rest of my house soon, I promise!  In the meantime, a lot of you had questions about the products I used, so here are the deets:

Wall colorICI 995 Newcastle Grey.  Mine is mixed at 50% strength.  The ceiling color is mixed at 25%.

Curtains: Merete Grommets in bleached from Ikea.  Mine are the 110 inch panels, which they don't sell anymore.

Sofa and chairs: Hendrix sectional in linen and Brooke club chair, both in linen, from Robin Bruce.  I blogged about the chairs here.  I love their lines and size:

Sunburst mirror: Ballard Designs.  This bad boy is HEAVY, but it's one of my favorite parts of my living room. 

Farmhouse sink Shaw's Original 3018 Fireclay Apron Front Sink from Rohl.

Candlesticks on mantle: From TJMaxx and HomeGoods.

Reproduction Vintage Subway Sign: Home Decorator's Collection.  I bought this in memory of our trip to England last year.  We spent quite a bit of time on their rail system that trip and thought this was the perfect way to commemorate it:

Bamboo Roman Blinds:  My entire house sports DesignView Providence Bamboo Roman Blinds from the Home Depot and I love them!  They add a bit of texture and block the hot, Southern sun.  And you can't beat the price.

Curtain Rods:  I bought 1 1/4" dowel rods from Lowe's, cut them to size, painted them and then drilled holes in the end for finials.  A ten foot rod and another 8 foot rod cost me a grand total of $18!

Happy Hump Day!
