2016 Fall Home Tour Part 11
I shared several rooms in the first tour, but today I am showing a few changes I've made to the living room.
I rarely use a lot of saturated color and I am not a real huge fan of blue in my decor, but this royal blue velvet was just so lush I couldn't resist venturing out of my comfort zone a little. This fabric is a really fun happy accident. I ordered some fabric online and somehow my order got mixed up with someone else and I got a bright shocking pink and this fabulous royal blue. Well they were so wonderful that I kept them both.

With just a few pillow changes and swapping out a few accessories, I have a whole new look. I played off the leopard pillows and added a few more masculine accessories to create a version of an upsclale "man cave".
I added fanciful candlesticks, a stylish gazelle and a chess board to the coffee table.
The deep lush blue on these velvet pillows just draw you in and would make any man feel comfortable.
This Gazelle figurine wearing all kinds of animal prints was a fun thrift store find. He's wearing just about every animal print there is. I think he adds tons of character to the coffee table.
The men in my family are all chess players, so I set this marble set up for them. This is something my hubby and grandson will use every time they get together, so now it is set up and ready.
The end table in the background continues with the wild kingdom theme.
Just enough color and spice. This room definitely has a more masculine feel now.
Maybe I should use bold colors more often, what do you think?

I saw your other post and although I am not a fan of blue, I really like this shot of color. Adds that little punch of interest and lifts the room out of too much of the same color.
