Living Room Makeover


The living room is quite narrow and dark, it has some nice bits of furniture but the darkness of the wood wasn't helping this already dark room. So, we painted, distressed and rearranged to create a lighter, brighter room with a really cosy feel...

This is the room before....



And afterwards...







 The only piece of furniture we added to this room was the small coffee table, EVERYTHING else was already there.  I think the biggest transformation was the small table and 2 chairs, you would never guess they looked so dark and old fashioned to begin with.  There was a picture in the kitchen which didn't really fit so I used the frame and added a piece of union jack fabric that I found on eBay.  We painted the black uplighter and it now looks completely different, the dresser looks amazing!  We added some prettier cushions to the white sofas and painted the window seat.  Cushions are such an easy and cheap way to change the look of a room!
