Living Room: before & after

part 2 of the open house posts...

After the exterior view, the front door opened to the living room.

Definitely a 1970s look for the before photos.

Dark paneling and trim are not on my favorites list.

An after photo with almost the same view...

The decorating is still in progress (and moving is not finished either.)

I want to upholster the cream chair with a more neutral fabric;

it is one of my sentimental pieces - something from my great-aunt's house.

Before shots from the other view....

And the after shot is the day of open house (hence the gifts in the floor.)

Floors refinished, sheetrock hung, new moulding, paint,

another ceiling fan, vent covers, blinds -

all this combined (with some other stuff not mentioned)

made quite a difference.

Someone said it was a "2010 house" now instead of a 1970s house.
