Living room Makeover

9 years ago

Hello all. I posted this is the Small Home section, but I wasn't sure if everyone would see it over there. Hope it is okay to post here, too. My husband and I recently (July of last year) bought our first home. It's been a progress to get everything the way we want it. But I feel like we finally have and wanted to share with everyone! We have a small living room, but I feel like we kept the space open and cozy all at the same time.

When we first bought it.

After painting and laying down floor, but before we decorated the way we truly wanted. (Working with what we already had).

And now! Keep in mind we plan to add baseboards, trim, ect. as time goes on. :)

    Mary, I would have to say you have a very good eye! You've taken a dark dreary space and made it beautiful and bright! I love that you've chosen such a bright color to accent with. ;)

    You have done such a wonderful job! I can't wait to see what you do next. Feathering the nest is your forte! The dogs are too cute. Is the new sectional from Ikea? My DD has the same exact one. Such a great piece. You must have a green thumb. The plants add so much to the space.

    You have a beautiful bright area that others would never have envisioned from the before. Vision and execution turned your dwelling into a home. Kudus!

    I have a chair like yours with the rose patterned fabric, but mine is sort of a gray-lilac color. I'm thinking mine might need a fuzzy pillow!

    It delights me to see a young couple pouring their hearts and souls into creating a home that will reflect who they are and who they are becoming together. I hope your newly-created spaces bring you absolute joy.

    Your kitchen is just lovely! The before and after is amazing!

    Even harder to transform a mobile home. I may not have known except for the before pics. Tell me what paint you used on the panneling? Nice and enjoy.

    Thank you so very much, everyone! Your kind words have really made me smile. :) mamapunky0 We just used flat paint by Glidden (it was free) but plain to one day do semi gloss as it is SO much easier to clean. We didn't sand them and it went on really nice! Thank you so much!
