Living Room Status: Nearly Complete
This space is the heart & soul of the house. We love lighting a candle in here and lounging away. During the daytime the room is filled with light from all directions, and in the evening, layers of lighting (and sometimes a fire) create the coziest vibe. We chose a very small rug by the fire place so that the custom flooring inlay would remain visible, but now we think we’re going to upgrade to a bigger rug after all to ground the space.
Here is what it used to look like:
Since purchasing, work we have done on the living room includes…
- Remove wall between parlor & living room
- Replace standard ceiling with vaulted ceiling
- Remove carpet & refinish original hardwood floors
- Add recessed lighting & chandelier
- Scrape off textured walls and skim coat with joint compound for smooth finish
- Stucco fireplace makeover over brick
- Paint walls & trim
Work we have yet to do on the living room includes…
- Replace baseboard moulding
- Update electrical outlets
- Furnish & decorate appropriately!
