Living Room

It feels so good to look around the living room and not see a single box!  This room has been done solely in neutral earth tones and could probably use a splash of color, but the budget says this is it for now.  So here are several angles of before and after shots of our main living space.

BEFORE
This is the view of the living room when you walk in the front door.  Notice there is no overhead lighting and the big lovely intercom box above the TV.
 

AFTER
 My friend's husband is an electrician and put in the ceiling fan for us. What a blessing! 
 
BEFORE
I like the big picture window but wasn't a fan of the heavy blue curtains.  We still have them - does anyone have a need for blue curtains?
AFTER

 
BEFORE
 We didn't have enough furniture to fill the space!
 
AFTER
Our old house had built-in shelves so here we were in desperate need for somewhere to display our knick-knacks and pictures but also to store movies and books.  These cabinets did the trick.
 
BEFORE
 Notice the other intercom box - why was there TWO of these in this room?!

AFTER

 We did paint the space, but kept it neutral and just in a darker shade than what was previously there.
