Living Room Love : Part 1

Good Evening!! I've been planning for a while to share with you the progress we've made on our living room so far, which by the way, is currently decorated for the holidays. The room started off very...well...UGLY(?) with cream floral wallpaper, faded in some spots, and a couple small stains on the rug!! Here are some before pictures :
 
During the last couple of months, we've carefully removed the lovely wallpaper, primed and repainted the room a beautiful deep grayish taupe shade, purchased a vintage piano from Craigslist, bought two zebra print chairs and a little black pedestal table, restyled our cottagy cream shelf, added some much needed art work and a musical quote from Uppercase Living as well as a little vintage flair, and installed crown molding, which became an enjoyable and interesting learning experience for Jon...and Cece!!


 We are also planning to add molding to the pass-through between the Dining room and Living Room!! There are so many options!! Here are a few :
 Well, hopefully you'll stay tuned for the Living Room Reveal (although we're still in progress...) in "Living Room Love : Part 2"!! See you soon!!
