The reveal is here! The living room remodel is
finished, and it is all set for Christmas.
Everything went from dark and heavy
to light and airy.
I used a mix of modern and traditional
for a perfect light and bright eclectic look.
Everything started with a new cream and silver
area rug that replaced the Tuscan colored rug.
I have always wanted chairs to flank
the fireplace, but with the walkway on
the right side, I was concerned about size.
These white leather quilted chairs have
substance, but are not oversized as to
enter into the walkway.
Stools with lucite legs add more airiness.
This round chest of drawers was
painted in Tuscan colors of gold, green
and burgundy. It was actually in the garage,
heading for a thrift shop, when I decided to
try a can of silver paint on it. One can later,
and I was in love again. New jeweled silver
knobs replaced the wooden ones, and it
was topped with a mirrored silver tray.
This lucite highback chair with a fur pad
doesn't impede the view to the Christmas tree.
I already had this tray table, but added jewels
and fairy lights and a glass top
to make a magical display.
The fur and gold along with the lucite are on trend,
and guess what piece the grandkids love most -
you guessed it - the fur coffee table made by placing
two benches just slightly apart.
A jeweled mirrored tray tops the center of the
coffee table.
Everything sparkles and shines,
and despite being light, can handle the
little ones.
Of course, this light and bright room
needed a new tree.
(Actually the old tree was being held together with
wire, so it was a perfect excuse.) My granddaughter
and I had painted the table it stands on. Having
a tree on a table gives it more height and grandeur,
but it also keeps it up and away from little ones.
The tree is decorated with metallics,
flowers, stags, stars, and a touch of white
boa feathers to echo the room.
Our special fairy curtain replaced heavy green
tapestry curtains that lead into the video room.
Now watching a video, you feel like you have a
curtain of stars.
The best part is how much hubby loves it all.
Hope you enjoy our new living room.
Just lightening the colors made the
room seem twice as large.
