A Change In Color and Not Much Else: The Living Room


That being said, I plan on replacing almost every piece of furniture in this room. As of right now, the living room is pretty far down the list mainly because every other room only has a few small projects left. Anyway, here is the progress and the plan...

The Mantel Redo. I hung an antique mirror along with an orchid and candlesticks. I do need to invest in a new fireplace screen and I plan on placing two stools in front of the fireplace. (see below).


We painted the room Sharkey Gray by Martha Stewart. It's a great color. We also rearranged the living room and floated the couch. This changed the room a lot and we want to add a console behind the couch to make it feel more like an entryway since you walk right into our living room.

Here the shot from the door. Ignore the golf that is on. Golf is reality in my family. Notice the pillow that I won from Small and Chic in C'Ville.


Another shot from the door...

And THE PLAN...

Here is the plan...

1. New Sectional in a Neutral Color
2. Replace Media Cabinet with White TV Stand
3. Move Subway Poster to another wall and add Clock from RH
3. Replace brown chair and ottoman with gray chair and ottoman from Serena & Lily
4. Small table next to new chair
5. Add two black stools in front of mantle.
6. Desperately need a rug
7. Replace shade on floor lamp.

Hopefully the rest of the house will finish quickly so we can get cracking on the living room.
