When we first laid out the formal living room, we were in a rush to just get things unpacked and staged for the appraisal so we didn’t put a lot of thought into it. But the longer it sat, the more and more I disliked this once-favorite room.
But last week it quickly became a favorite again! I’m loving this new layout that centers the seating area around the decorative fireplace and leaves our extra large bay windows fully in view.
It’s not perfect, but I’m loving it more and more. There are still a few things left to do…add drapes, paint the green chair navy, and add crown molding. But for now, it’s a room that I’m proud of.
It is a lovely room Sarah. So sorry we had to miss your party. Hope we can have a tour soon!
Any time, Betty! :)
It is amazing how shifting around furniture can change every thing! It took us over 4 years to get our long narrow farm house living room “right”. Hang in there.
Thanks, Linda!
I think it looks fantastic!!
It looks pretty perfect to me, I love the look of character of the old house yet modern in finish too. Delighted to find you, popping over from Magic Moments

Hopped over here from Susan’s Metamorphosis Monday, drawn like a moth to a flame to your gorgeous pink velvet sofa. Can I just say that I love your furniture? Because I love your furniture. Also the architecture in your house is stunning. Beautiful job!
That sofa is one of my favorite things in the house! I found it at an estate sale for $150!! :)
