Living Room

August 8, 2013 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

This is what the living room looked like when we went to view the home.  I got this picture from the real estate brochure.

before family room redo

I fell in love with this home but knew that I wanted something that was lighter and brighter.  I wanted it to feel more like a cottage on the water. So this is what I came up with so far.

family room in shades of blue and white

First, we took down the heavy drapes. I replaced them with burlap panels which are very casual.  Then we  painted the walls a light blue. It makes it look like the room extends out to the water.

We found this fireplace surround at the same place that I found the desk which you can find here. I love it. It reminds me of the one in my grandmother’s home.  It took us forever to strip the  seven layers of paint off of it. We also replaced the mirror.

This is a goodwill table that I sprayed white.  The table cost $15. I placed a basket underneath it with all of our blankets for getting cozy during storms and for movie nights.

This room is so light and airy.  I hope you like it as much as I do.
