{My New House - The Living Room}

By Glasgow_mummy @glasgow_mummy
It's now September, which means I'm moving into my new house soon. Just a few more weeks to go! I'm really looking forward to the fresh start, although I'm pretty nervous/anxious about all the finances etc that are going to go along with it!
Anyway, one of the fun parts for me is going to be redecorating as the house needs a wee bit of work.
I'm not going to be able to afford to do it all now, but I've already started planning how I would like things to be. I can't help but get a bit carried away! This is hopefully going to be my house for the foreseeable future & I'm reckoning that over the years I'll do a bit here and there.
I'm planning a Scottish theme for my living room. I'm thinking purply pink heather, gray granite (or miserable foggy sky!) and blue lochs!

{My New House - The Living Room}The living room has a bay window and I'm looking for a tartan curtain material that is going to pull together the colours grey, blue and a pink/purple. 
For the walls, I'm thinking the chimney breast can be a darker slate blue colour, with the remaining walls a pale grey:{My New House - The Living Room}

I already own this chair from made.com and it was the feature in my bedroom, but my new bedroom isn't going to be big enough for a chair, so this will now feature in my living room.{My New House - The Living Room}
The one item that I do need to buy is a sofa, and now that I don't have a guest bedroom, I'm reckoning that I will get a sofa bed instead for when Auntie Ali comes to stay.
I'd love a gray velvet Chesterfield sofa bed, but need to do some more investigating and I think I'll wait until I'm in the house before I make any decisions. {My New House - The Living Room}Grey Chesterfield sofa
Instead of a mirror or a painting, I'd love to have some deer antlers above the fireplace.

The room isn't big enough for an actual stag's head, but I thought that would have been a rather impressive addition. The things you can find on eBay!

I might need to make do with a Stag's Head Wall Sticker instead:

Any maybe some stag cushions for the sofa whilst I'm there!

Any other suggestions for a Scottish theme room?
