338 Don't Banish Me

The home decoration store was next. Given the small amount of wall space in the living room, Marissa recommended finding one large watercolor painting and basing the accent colors on that. Alice's new couch was a nice shade of cream and many accent colors could look good with it.

The one she eventually chose was a soft, quaint painting of the side of someone's house. A bicycle leaned up against the wall, the gate to the backyard and the awning over the window were turquoise, and various shades of red and pink plants were scattered throughout the painting.

Marissa found some throw pillows that were turquoise and red-violet along with a matching set of curtains for the tiny window in the kitchen. She also found rugs and a few decorations to set on the coffee table that matched the painting's color scheme.

Another watercolor painting, this time depicting a lake scene, was set aside for the bedroom. It would pair well with the light blue bedding set they got.
