Recently I had the opportunity to work on a home that was outdated and ready for change. Here are some images of the living area before we got started.
The walls were a very warm tan/beige with yellow undertones. As you can see, the floors were carpeted and the furniture's design and style were not conducive to the new owner's lifestyle.
Soooo......new paint and new floors made a big difference before we even purchased new furnishings. We used Benjamin Moore's Revere Pewter on the walls and a dark hardwood-lookalike flooring that will stand up to many, many dogs, babies in rolling walkers and men with muddy boots from the oil fields of East Texas. Take a look below at the same room!

I went back and forth on using a light ivory upholstery on the sofa, but I really wanted something light and fresh that would stand out in a room with no windows. I chose a man made poly-blend fabric that is resistant to stains and we are having the piece treated professionally for extra protection.
I chose a soft shade of orange to be the main accent with the different shades of blue. It is a tried and true combo. By keeping the orange to some simple accessories, we can change/update the room easily down the road by switching just a few pieces out. Custom pillows in orange velvet make the base for the sofa. I also had blue and white zebra pillows made with the same orange velvet piping.
The rug has amazing depth and pattern in a tone on tone dark sea-foam green/blue that anchors the room while pulling color from the large, abstract art.
Finally, I chose a dark blue and white patterned upholstery for the chairs. Blue and white is a classic color combination and can be mixed with almost any accent color.
I can't wait to have this room professionally photographed when we add a few more pieces of furniture and lighting.
This client knew the room could be transformed with some work. I'm so glad she trusted me!
