LIVING ROOM: BEFORE AND AFTER
January 29, 2016When considering a living room makeover, the transformation from "before" to "after" can be truly remarkable. Initially, a living room might appear outdated, cluttered, or uninspired. The "after" reveals a rejuvenated space that’s not only aesthetically pleasing but also more functional, often featuring modern furnishings, cohesive color schemes, and perhaps smarter use of space.

The biggest change here has been adding this fluffy white rug. You probably can't tell from the pictures , but being part of an open-floor plan this room was screaming for a rug.
It's the Diamond Shag Rug from RugsUSA, and we love it!
I was thrilled to have it! It looks like I am slowly getting on the mid-century wagon!
That btw, is an Australian-made boomerang. Isn't it beautiful? It is a gift from my brother-in-law.
Both the blue pillows are new, I made them using fabric from Joanns. I don't have a sewing machine and I usually use Fabric Glue for my pillows. But this time, I hand stitched it. And unless you have the patience of a Kindergarten teacher, I don't recommend it. I am so hung over from the experience that I can't even look at another needle.
Although I love gallery walls, I was getting tired of my old one. I wanted a cleaner, minimal look and there was no way I was gonna achieve that with my busy gallery wall.
The toughest part of the whole process, was making that art above the couch. I know it is not everyone's cup of tea (being so graphic) , but after repeatedly failing at creating something abstract and remotely decent looking, I almost gave up.
The side table is from those days, when I would paint and mod-podge everything. I decided to resurrect it for a while!
For now, the TV wall is empty. I don't know if I should add anything, and I would love to hear your suggestions.

Ohh, what a nice refresh! okay, so 1. i LOVE that coffee table. What a score! 2. Nice job on the art work...I've been there and tape and canvas is the easiest approach to DIY art! 3. The blanket...so comfy...want it! As for above the TV, that's a tough one...if you want to stay clean and minimalist I would say add nothing. If you must have something there, maybe a row of small prints, or if you like saying decals, maybe something there? Other option is to mount the TV. NICE JOB though...enjoy your new space!
ReplyDeleteThank you Teri! The art was the biggest gamble in the room, and personally I love it. Thanks for all your sweet comments
DeleteMounting the TV is a great idea, why didn't I think of that! I just have to get the husband on board lol. But, thankyou!
Wow what a beautiful transformation! The space looks so much bigger, brighter & absolutely fresh! Especially love the modern artwork juxtaposed with the more relaxed elements of the space! Bravo Vin!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jana! I am truly humbled by your thoughtful comments.
