Redesign - Use What you Have Decorating

I just completed a redesign yesterday with Ava. The homeowner struggled with one wall in particular so she called us in for help. The cathedral ceiling came to a point in the center of the room. But she didn't think she could center her TV on that wall because she felt her furniture wouldn't fit. We used 100% of her pieces and didn't add a single thing, thus the reason we call it "use what you have decorating."

Here is the before shot. You can see the TV is off to the right a bit.

We changed out the art above the TV and added different accessories. The artwork had a basket of apples and a blue and white bowl in it so we mimicked this look with our accessories. It looks great in the room. She has a vast collection of baskets so she was thrilled we worked them into the design. Don't you love this funky lamp? It was in a guest room so we brought it out to the Living Room instead. So unique.

Here is the mantel and room layout before...

We opted to use two pieces of art above the mantel vs. the one because we liked the subject matter better. We also loved the two peacocks and wanted them more visible so we put them front and center on the mantel.

Here is the mantel after...

Well, we centered the TV and still fit all the furniture to make it more cozy. The room was long but not very wide so we had to angle the pieces. It worked. It looked really nice, this picture doesn't do it justice. It flowed much better and made it more inviting! We cranked it too. We finished this redesign in 2 hours and 45 minutes. So she got a whole new room for under $300. How do you like them apples?

We also hung some artwork going up the stairs, which is always a challenge. But, with a trust laser you can do anything!

Happy Tranformation Thursday,
