Living Room - Before and After
Comments (11)It's a BM color - but used SW paint Summer Nights Reads a bit brighter in person. Blues are hard - but I am really happy with this. First time I've ever had blue in any home I've owned!...See MoreVictorian 1888 Living Room Before and AFter
Comments (10)What a beautiful home! I love the fabric you picked. It's irresistible stuff. I notice there's a lot of stuff that says "Buffalo"... Are you in/from?...See MoreNeed help finishing my colorful living room (before & after pics)
Comments (17)Thanks for all your comments. I really appreciate them. So based on the suggestions, I think I would like to try changing the striped canvas art to be behind the couch and cover that large wall. Here is an idea of how it would look (made with only image editor) The canvas is 48x48, hope is okay for that wall Then take my time to fill the wall above the console with art/pictures that mean something to us (family, places. music, etc.) in different frame sizes and forms to avoid being too square with TV and mirror. I will take my time with that :) Definitely liked the idea of bringing a bigger lamp to the console table.. what a change! Thank you!! I will get another one :) I love the idea of painting the candle holders in orange.. will try. They belonged to my husband's grandparents... need to check I'm not a big fan of 'faux' plants, so I was considering a live one, but by the window next to the mirror instead of infront the mirror - here are my thoughts This is the bar cart we had in mind.. is quite expensive ($600!!) from Crate and Barrel This option, maybe with basket w/pillows and throws next to the plant? and then have a console table infront the dinning window and but our liquor there? Window treatments - at the beginning we wanted to leave the windows open to appreciate the back yard (we plan to have nice flowerbeds, etc), but the Texas sun is too strong to leave the windows with nothing.. I am trying to find something that will provide shade, but will allow to look outside and see the backyard as well. We put bamboo shades in the dining room that I plan to frame with curtains later on (see last pic). Will those go in the living room as well? I bought these, but was thinking to return them... I like them, just did not find a 'good wall' for them. what do you think? Once again, thank you!...See MoreLiving room before and after (thank you all!)
Comments (22)Wow! That looks great Peter! You really warmed up the space. I do tend to agree that the mantel pics are a bit high. Have you considered putting back the pic you had in the before pictures between the lanterns? That might fill the space nicely and you could leave your other pics where they are.

6 years agoI probably would have added a different color to all that brown, say, blue, orange, red, green, or yellow.

6 years agoDitto what nosoccermom said! Buying new pillows obviously, so why not point a client in a direction that takes a room from amateur to professional? Pillows can always be returned if the client hates them. With a dark brown sofa, you could add pillows with pattern, texture, and color that would take it to the next level. Right now, you're certainly improving things, and with a bit more work it will take it to the professional level. The current artwork above the sofa is so bland, and art can be had that's affordable for anyone at places like Home Goods, Ross, Marshalls, Ikea, etc. Here are a couple photos of LR with dark sofa that show you how to brighten and make the room more welcoming. Good luck with your new business and study great decorators' portfolios.
