What should I paint this living room fireplace?
Comments (46)Getting lots of comments on the built-in....think 1970s built-in...it needed to go. The bottom cabinets were about 2 feet deep, and took up too much of that wall, plus didn't allow for a nice accent chair. Of course we would've assumed that they had built the fireplace properly instead of not finishing the stone around. I would much prefer wood floors, but DH doesn't want hard surfaces everywhere...I know the wood would hold up better long term and be better for resale.. I think I am going to have him put up a wood piece on the bad side. Eventually we might do some nice smaller scale built ins...but the other built in needed to go before flooring. I will make a mantle box probably with a nice corbel on the bottom on each side. The fireplace cover definitely needs to go. I do like the idea of painting the inside of the fireplace a matte black...and I can look for a different "fire" for inside the fireplace. I will find a nice picture or mirror for above the fireplace, and decorate the mantle ledge. Hopefully with a nice paint color and the rest of the room decorated, the fireplace will be nice. Thank you everyone for your replies. Beverly-is your first photo and the one next to it a before and after? I would love a link to that if you have it...I do like the grayish green color they painted the mantle and the corbels under the mantle. Thanks!...See MoreFor living room furniture, should pieces match or not?
Comments (16)Leather! Leather! Leather! I have 5 boys ages from 2 - 16 and when I found our leather couch, very old, at a yard sale it was like a dream come true. No more dirty couches to worry about, just wipe them down. With browns there are plenty of things you can add anywhere in a room to lighten it and your room is pretty light already. Our furniture is a bit mix matched with different woods but what else you place in a room makes the difference. Your entertainment center... too dark if you are going for leather. It is too big and dark. I hope I was of some kind of help. Michelle...See MoreHow should I arrange furniture in living room?
Comments (0)I have a house with an odd shaped living room. It’s fairly open concept, and leads directly into the kitchen as well as the dining room and foyer. I am getting new furniture and would love suggestions on what pieces to get, as well as where to put them! Our TV is currently mounted above the fireplace mantel. I’m not a huge fan of entirely matching furniture sets or Loveseats. The more cozy and conversational the better- but traffic flow is obviously critical! I’m considering 2 couches, or 2 couches the chair and a half, or all/some with 2 velvet accent chairs. I’ve included pics of the room from different angles, the grey couch/furniture I’m looking at, and a quick sketch floor plan! Thanks to anyone who has advice....See MoreHow many colors should you have in a family/living room furniture?
Comments (7)Thank you, all for your input. @thinkdesignlive, I was planning on placing the cerulean pillows on the sectional and the neutral gold/silver pillows on the chairs. @Patricia Colwell, I was hoping to integrate the gray ottoman with the gray in the rug...thoughts? @User, I'm uploading a more updated moodboard, which I hope helps. Thanks again for all of your feedback!...See MoreKeli O
