Living room style!!

OK! You demanded it...here it is again! My 5 tips for an amazing living room! (this is what I talked about on WKAN this morning if you missed it!)

1. PAINT- sets depth and mood! blue, green, and violet can enlarge a room...think infinity pool, or a stretched landscape. It's also a cheap makeover!

2. TEXTURE- I loooove wall paper! In modern prints of course! Not on every wall, maybe just one focal wall, or in a large frame, maybe even on the back wall of a bookcase! You can also add texture with modern printed curtains!

3. MIRRORS- Mirrors are my favorite thing about life! light can bounce around a room with mirrors, they can enlarge your space, and reflect other things you love about your room! LOVE THEM!

4. TRASH TO TREASURE FURNITURE- People throw away amazing stuff! A little bit of spray paint and new hardware can give you the gift of a vintage/modern one-of-a -kind piece! These pieces add a huge amount of character mixed in with your normal store bought pieces, don't be too matchy-matchy!

5. PHOTOS- Everyone can be an artist these days! -And we know wall art can be pretty pricey! Eclectic frames in a cluster on the wall with old photos are so fun! I also LOVE to turn a photo to black and white and blow it up to a poster size and find a fun frame for it! Here's one that I blew up to poster size of my girls making funny faces at each other while in one big can-can skirt! (This pic was taken by Ashley Poskin who is amazing with a camera! You need to plan a photo shoot with her when she is in town, she has amazing style!!)


Thanks for letting me share with you!
