Livingroom Mood Board

I've been playing around with a mood board for the living room- which is how I figured out that although I love yellow, it was just not going to work in the room. It's still a work in progress but here is where it's at right now...
Some of these pieces we already own (love seat, coffee table, RECLINER!, dark wood floors...). Some of them we just got/are getting (white console and bookshelves, entertainment unit...) And some I want but haven't found/bought yet (mirror cabinet, silver lamp, mirrors, green rug...) The green rug and the small white side table are from West Elm and I'm really hoping they will go on sale soon so I've been waiting it out while also keeping my eye out for other options at a good price (via online sites like Joss and Main, One Kings Lane, etc as well as Home Goods, Target and Pier One).
That is our actual wall color- Jamaican Aqua from Benjamin Moore which I still really love, especially with our existing white trim and our new white furniture additions. That was our second paint color though- originally we bought a color 2 shades darker (without testing it first, big mistake) and as soon as Greg starting cutting in we both realized we hated it. Lesson learned about always testing paint colors first - except we didn't actually learn our lesson because we made the same mistake with our bedroom.
We received the bookshelves and console this past weekend but we haven't put them in place yet. The bookshelves need to be assembled so hopefully we get to that this week. Stay tuned for updates...
