Hello! I've been MIA lately, well actually just busy with a living room face lift and being a mama. Today I am happy to show you some of the furniture/ accessories I have chosen for my parents new living room. It really did need a big refresher. We pulled up old carpet and laid gorgeous hickory wood floor, we are still in the process of installing wall paneling. We still have lots to do before it is complete. I start the design process with first getting a feel for what the needs, wants and dreams are for the space. It;s always a smart idea to measure the space so the best type of furniture is selected. Floor plans totally make my heart pump. There is something so simple and crisp about them. They always put everything in perspective. My mom likes neutrals and really likes to play it safe with the color palate, so we chose a great Benjamin Moore Gray which instantly made the room more current. I wanted the room to have a classic feel, so the bones of the room were essential. Wainscoting is an instant upgrade that makes a room look expensive and gives it history. My parents wanted a lot of bang for the buck, so in my design I wanted to add furniture and finishes that would last them many years.
My dad is a brick mason, so they have a lot of brick in there home already. The wood floor looks amazing with the brick. I would classify the style my mom wanted was a little bit of farmhouse (wood floors, brick) with classic details (wall paneling, neutral colors) Here is the e-board I designed to help them visualize the space with the furniture plan. Lots more to come on this project! The before and afters will be something to see.
Have a great day!
XO Eryn
