New Living Room Reveal

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.  

I will be sharing this with

Metamorphosis Monday.
