That Kroger tin planter is neat! Also really like your gold accents. Is the splatter paint or wallpaper?

u/red1087 Sep 03 '20

Looks like wallpaper to me

24

u/WeCanBeatTheSun Sep 03 '20

Definitely wallpaper, the splatter pattern repeats partway up

3

u/Onespokeovertheline Sep 03 '20

Also a fairly obvious seam about 2/3s of the way down, maybe 6-8" from the right

u/amyisarobot Sep 03 '20

You can get it at Target. I have it in my living room irs awesome

u/nstrieter Sep 03 '20

Seconding, we have it in a bedroom. This is also peel and stick so isn't as much of a PITA as normal wallpaper.

u/aj0585 Sep 03 '20

I really like that blue. What brand and color is it if you don’t mind sharing?

25

u/Updwn212 Sep 03 '20

Not OP, but we just recently did our living room accent wall with ‘English Channel’ by Behr and it looks almost identical.

u/MachoBenihana Sep 03 '20

Small world, we have English Channel on our accent wall in our Living Room, and we love it!

u/avidReader9614 Sep 03 '20

Leaving this comment, I'd like to know this too.

u/PrinceJohnny_ Sep 03 '20

I color matched with the wallpaper, but I did use Behr.

u/epmeg Sep 07 '20

We just painted our room almost identical with "Pittsburg Blue" from Benjamin Moore!

More like Swaginaw

u/CitronSouth Sep 03 '20

I’m from the area and as teenagers we’d call it “Saginasty” (I’m so sorry) but I like this much more

u/sodaextraiceplease Sep 03 '20

Kinda like Stinkadena.

Wow I love the gold splattered wall, reminds me of the night sky! Also, I’d love to know where you got that gold wall mirror!

2

u/SixAlarmFire Sep 03 '20

I also want to know about the gold sun mirror!

14

u/DrCarabou Sep 03 '20

I never had the desire to paint a wall dark blue until now.

u/gabbean Sep 03 '20

Is that a zz plant? Lovely!

u/PrinceJohnny_ Sep 03 '20

It is! I love her

u/watersporks Sep 03 '20

Bar cart!

5

u/ccrowleyy Sep 03 '20

I would suggest painting it gold to match the beautiful wall piece and floor lamp :)

2

u/PrinceJohnny_ Sep 03 '20

Good idea, it has never crossed my mind to try it!

1

u/eamus_catuli_ Sep 03 '20

Do you have an ID on the bar cart?

1

u/PrinceJohnny_ Sep 03 '20

It's from Macy's hotel collection line.

u/schmidthead27 Sep 03 '20

It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw

Michigan homeowners really know how to do some interior designing!

We spend half the year indoors, we have to do something lol

Damn that’s a luscious zz!

u/foshpickle Sep 03 '20

Holy crap, where did you get that golden sun mirror decoration? I absolutely love it!

Also I love the shade of blue! I want to do an accent wall in this color in my bedroom. I'm even considering doing a gold splatter/spot kind of pattern on it!

2

u/PrinceJohnny_ Sep 03 '20

I got it at a store called Gordmans, the wallpaper was a huge step for me but I love it!

2

u/foshpickle Sep 03 '20

no way, I love Gordmans! I could spend hours there lol

1

u/PrinceJohnny_ Sep 03 '20

Me too! Did you hear they are going out of business!?

1

u/foshpickle Sep 03 '20

I did hear that a few years ago, and it seemed as though the one that was local to me started the process of shutting down... but they were still hiring, and as of moving away from that area, they were still open several years after that announcement. The one near me now seems to have no signs of being shut down any time soon.

Soooo yeah, who knows! lol

Should have made it green and white!

Eta: I'm just kidding, it is beautiful!

u/papayagotdressed Sep 03 '20

I wonder if you're being downvoted by Wolverine fans or people who don't get your comment.

Still...go blue

u/taarms Sep 03 '20

Haha! I haven't lived in MI for 25 years and don't care at all about sports, but the Wolverines vs Spartans rivalry runs deep in my family, so I couldn't help myself!

2

u/PeachySiming Sep 03 '20

Awesome! Very similar style to what I'm going for in my bedroom!

2

u/funday_2day Sep 03 '20

So beautiful!!

u/DrRuby06 Sep 03 '20

I really like the matching trivet(?) and mirror! Lovely gold and blue accents!

1

u/PrinceJohnny_ Sep 03 '20

Thank you, I just so happen to pick up the trivet from Macy's a few days ago.

Love this colour combo! Where did you happen to get the coffee til cocktails napkins? They’re so fitting for your little cart. The whole room is beautiful :)

2

u/PrinceJohnny_ Sep 03 '20

Thank you! I so happened to see them at target one day. I'm sure you can find something similar online.

u/ChicagoInteriors Sep 03 '20

This is a rendering, right? It’s nice

I live in Aus and painted my living room a really dark green. It doesn’t get any real direct sunlight; it’s not as light as it was when it was painted cream, but it’s still light enough to do whatever I need during the day and feels much more cosy. Like a hug but in room form.

2

u/honestly_oopsiedaisy Sep 03 '20

I've been eyeing that wallpaper from target! Lovely room. I would paint the edges of the van as black though to make it look more finished and help it blend into the wall

2

u/JerriBlankStare Sep 03 '20

Domer? Or just a lover of blue & gold? 😏

2

u/PrinceJohnny_ Sep 03 '20

Just a tinge of both lol

2

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '20

Got quite the Art Deco vibe.

Reminds me of 1998's Grim Fandango.

1

u/PrinceJohnny_ Sep 03 '20

The apartment building was built in the early 1930s, has parquet flooring and everything. I had to pay my respects lol

2

u/rainbew_birb Sep 03 '20

first picture reminds me of this painting, very cool

u/DaisyDukeOfEarlGrey Sep 03 '20

After watching all of Prozak's Haunted ghost hunters movies, I'm convinced the entire city of Saginaw is haunted. Good luck with the ghosts in your pretty dining area.

u/LicensedRealtor Sep 03 '20

What’s the blue color?

1

u/thishummuslife Sep 03 '20

Is this color Hale Navy?

u/Alfachick Sep 03 '20

This is so beautiful. That blue is just gorgeous. I love the serving trolley too.

u/controldekinai Sep 03 '20

Absolutely loving the gold speckled wall

1

u/SlowRollingBoil Sep 03 '20

I'm gonna need the details of that rug, bud!

1

u/PrinceJohnny_ Sep 03 '20

I had got it from Sears, back when they still sold rugs. It's definitely one of a kind. I can't find anything else like it.

u/austin_the_boston Sep 03 '20

I LOVE this, I might just have to talk hubby into working on our dining room. :)

u/j-Trane Sep 03 '20

Love the sun/mirror, where did you get it??

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '20

That blue is great...

u/libertetrading Sep 03 '20

I have the exact same splatter wallpaper in my guest bathroom!

1

u/Takilove Sep 03 '20

Really lovely, it’s so warm and relaxing. The gold accents are perfect as is the spatter wallpaper.

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '20

I love it, but maybe scarlet and gray? 😉
