From Inspiration Board to Reality: Amy & Brian's Living Room

I am so excited to post the first Inspiration board come to life!

My friends Brian and Amy asked me to do an Inspiration board for their dining room here. Almost immediately they started painting, reorganizing...but quickly realized that if they redid their dining room, they had to also update their living room which is connected to the dining room...AND...is the first room visitors see when they enter the house.

Quickly, the living room became priority one. Although their living room was streamlined and serene (see Before below):

It wouldn't work really work with the new look and feel of the dining room:

 

 

So with a few simple updates such as:

• Benjamin Moore's Oxford Gray Paint (same paint as the dining room)
• White curtains
• Navy solid pillows
• Cobalt blue & white accent pillows (Sabrina Soto's pillow from Target)
• Trio of my new favorite black mirrors (from Target!)
• Fuchsia fresh flowers...always a must!

The room was completely transformed, and now flows perfectly into the dining room. Look how bright & inviting the new room is for guests as they enter!

What an amazing job Amy & Brian did!!!

They are still working on their dining room...but here are a few sneak peeks:

Mid-progress. The dining room already looks so much brighter and more modern!!! Hutch removed, Benjamin Moore's Soft White above chair rail, Oxford Gray below chair rail...look how their gorgeous windows pop against the white!

I can't wait to see the true AFTERS! Fantastico!
