Comfy Living Room After

The living room is transformed with fresh color and a beautiful blend of secondhand furniture pieces.
Sleek Surface: Anne Turner ripped out the old carpet and had hardwood floors installed.
Fabric Fix: An inherited sofa, recently re-covered, is the linchpin for everything else in the room.
 Beautiful Balance: Creamy-toned paint on the walls balances the room’s darker elements. To highlight the architecture, she painted the crown molding and baseboards a grayish-green and the window sashes dark olive.
