First, I started this room makeover in January so I hope your expectations ranges have not been mounting as each month passes. Secondly, besides a lot of textile additions, I don’t suppose it has modified all that drastically as a result of the ultimate time I gave you an change. And thirdly, I don’t actually really feel identical to the room is basically carried out at this degree, and nonetheless needs some closing styling, nevertheless I figured if I didn’t reveal the room now, it is potential you may in no way see it as soon as extra 😉 I also have a fall residence tour creating inside the subsequent few weeks and thought it will likely be pleasant so to see a further summery look now sooner than I transition over to my early fall decor.

The most important change of all was the sunshine paint coloration (Behr Silver Drop), freshly painted baseboards and window trim, shifting the wine glass holders, altering all of the retailers and swap plates from almond to white, and the icing on the cake: the model new chandelier!

I really borrowed the pillows from the neighboring lounge and took the lamp from our entryway desk. These are purchases I didn’t want to make merely to make and I hadn’t found the right devices however. So, these will most likely be altering over time nevertheless I didn’t want to delay the reveal any longer and these labored successfully in the intervening time.

I opted to solely have drapes in each of the outer corners of each window. I felt identical to the in it’s prior life, the consuming room felt heavy and darkish with the ten (certain, ten!) curtain panels. They blocked out rather a lot light and have been in no way utilized for one thing other than in order so as to add some dimension to the home.
