Greetings, fellow design enthusiasts!
It's been an incredible two-month journey, and if you've been following along, you know we're nearing the finish line of transforming our humble house into our dream home, Phase 1. With the renovations complete and our recent move, we've hit the ground running with unboxing and organizing at full speed.
Phase 1 of our renovations focused on the main floor, including a kitchen remodel, refreshing the living room, and updating the sunroom.
In previous posts, I shared my Kitchen Vision, the enchanting Livingroom Magic, and the secrets behind our Sunroom's Tile Renaissance.
If you're eager to relive the excitement, check out my empty house tour, where I unveiled the master plan that ignited this creative journey.
Now, let's dive into how our living room turned out.
Brace yourself for a spoiler: I'm head over heels for the calm, modern, yet organically infused atmosphere that still preserves the authentic characteristics of our home, bringing them all together harmoniously.
Here's a sneak peek of our transformation (see above picture), but do keep in mind that decor items are still on their way.
So, what did we do to achieve this marvelous transformation? We tackled four key elements that collectively transformed the space, bidding adieu to its dated and slightly gloomy energy while rejuvenating it with a touch of its old-world charm.
1. Fresh White Walls: We painted the walls white, including the wainscoting, which were all previously red oak. This simple yet effective change brought an instant breath of fresh air to the room.
2. Light Oak Flooring: The floor underwent a stunning transformation with a light oak stain. You can read all about the process in this blog post, where we detail the journey of reviving the flooring.
3. Exposed Beams: To enhance balance and warmth, we incorporated exposed beams into our vaulted ceiling. This addition not only adds character but also ties the room's elements together seamlessly.
4. Bold Black Accents: We introduced black accents through frames and a fireplace repaint, infusing a sense of contrast and sophistication into the space.
These four essential changes provided me with the perfect canvas to decorate the room in my preferred organic modern style.
The vibrant touch of greenery by the arched picture window adds an extra layer of charm and makes it the focal point of the room.
Stay tuned for the final reveal as decor items arrive, completing the vision we've worked so diligently to achieve.
Our home renovation journey has been a remarkable fusion of old and new, and we can't wait to share the final result with you! It is all about mixing old & new.
I'm grateful for your support and encouragement as we embark on this home update adventure.
