Yesterday Room Revisions redesigned a living room for a young couple who just bought their first home.  They had great things to work with, but the room lacked pizzazz and a pulled-together look.  

The original arrangement had the sofa placed so that you had to walk all the way to the far end of the room to "enter" the conversation space.  It also made the room feel small and cramped.

With the new arrangement, the room is open and welcoming.  It feels larger and takes the focus off the television in the corner as soon as you walk into the room.

This wall held an antique cabinet stuffed with knick-knacks and a beautiful wedding portrait that didn't make much of a statement.

Since the couple are young newlyweds, they had plenty of framed wedding photographs sitting around on tables and counters, and also non-wedding photos of the two of them together.  We consolidated the photos and created a stunning focal point, which is also a very personal reflection of the homeowners. The antique cabinet now holds wedding memorabilia and mementos from their honeymoon.

We did not have to bring in ANYTHING new ... it was all already there!

This is like re-design without a dime.  Very nice.

Andrea, this is the best type of redesign, when you can use the homeowners items (that they love), but make them work in a pleasing manner. Great job!

A picture really is worth 1,000 words. Great reading and visual. Thanks

Karen, Donna, Kathryn, Debbie and Charlie - thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment!  This was really a fun job.  It's such a treat when there are great things to work with and the homeowner LOVES the end result!  This homeowner said she thought all she had was "junk" (some hand-me-down pieces) and couldn't believe we made her stuff look so good.
