{M&D's Living Room Makeover}

I just had to share my parents Living Room Makeover. Unfortunately, I didn't take before shots, so this is only the reveal! I do have to mention though, they made the decision to *keep* all of their furniture {note: which was all 30+ years old} and have it all reupholstered. It was all such classic furniture & built like a rock, not to mention the fact that they couldn't find an 11 foot sofa like the one they had {which my Dad really wanted, this couch is his "nap" couch.. he loves that he can lay out flat from head to toe on it}. So they picked new fabrics for the furniture, kept their amazing curtains and had them cleaned and rehung, replaced the carpet, added tile in the foyer/hallway, repainted and added more molding. Oh, they also kept all of their lighting, it too was irreplacable. They took them down, had them cleaned and the missing crystals replaced and now they are more beautiful than ever.

The lamp looks absolutely amazing with the new fabric on the sofa to the side of the end table {notice how the lamp has a light in the bottom of of the lamp too, that part can be on by itself creating great ambiance lighting} and the end table... gorgeous with it's white marble top and over-sized square shape.

So far, this table is the only *new* piece of furniture in the room.

My Mom loves floral arrangements, she designed one for their master bedroom when they did that project some years ago and now she just designed this one for her new living room. She picked out the white magnolias because my Dad's from the south and it reminds her of him and knew that he'd like them.

This cozy love seat used to be dressed in an olive green velvet fabric, they replaced it with this rich, chocolate-y velvet fabric.

This gorgeous candelabra wall sconce hangs above the brown velvet love seat.

These chairs used to be dressed in a dramatic, red velvet material now they wear this elegant, neutral diamond pattern fabric.

The chandelier that's worth a thousand words. L.O.V.E. it!!!

Well done M&D!
