Our room has pretty good bones. The couches are neutral, there's a brick fireplace, white slatted blinds, hardwood floors, etc. I couldn't picture the room pulled together though (for our no-cost makeover) until the other day that I sat on the opposite couch in the room and it came to me.
Our makeover will be based on this color scheme:
So, the execution plan will consist of the following:
Paint ladder shelf black (I showed you this shelf before here)
Recover couch throw pillows in white fabric (I've done that once before, here)
Add series of four Black and White NY City prints to the room (from the office, that's not being used)
Reorganize picture frame ledges (see them before, here)
Add white cylinder lamp shade to current lamp, plus add another lamp (this room is dark at night!)
Re-arrange furniture
Here's the room now (right after Christmas decor was removed).
NOTE: This is not for the faint of heart... I'm not proud, and I wouldn't consider this room pulled or put together in any way... ok, disclaimer over, now you can see the photos. :)
How on earth do you decorate/stage a fireplace like this?!
The tree (9ft this year!) was in that back corner
Anywho, I hope to work on this room this weekend. Our adorable baby boy though is so cute, that I just love hanging with him, so I'm not sure how much I'll get done!
Just thought I'd share. Now, to get this done, and be excited over our room again!
