Great Room Updates-Phase 1

There were two things that really drew me to this house. The first was the white kitchen with marble countertops. The second was all the windows, especially in the Great Room.

These are pictures from the listing on MLS. As you can see the previous owner had excellent tastes. We haven't changed very much besides the lighting and the wallpaper in the niches next to the fireplace.

This was taken shortly after we moved in. The Frame by Samsung was a must for me to agree to hang the TV over the fireplace. This was also before the new living room rug had arrived and I was still trying to figure out how to style the built-ins. Do you see that enormous basket behind the chair?  That's our new Christmas tree collar. I think these pictures were taken Thanksgiving weekend. 

Here's the new rug from eSalesRugs.com This is the 10 x 13' Stockholm Rug in navy. Don't mind my messy pups. 

Is it wrong to love a chandelier? If it is then I don't want to be right. 

Here's the Great Room all decked out for Christmas with Tucker pilfering through the presents under the tree and Joey relaxing with his beloved ball.

Come back to see an easy, but dramatic change that we made with peel and stick wallpaper.
