Here is the nearly before photo of a wall and fireplace.Living area before vingette
Originally this home was full to the ceiling with stuff, so a true before photo was impossible. This wall was brown paneling as seen a lot in the 60's and 70's.   There was old and dated 1950's furniture and old wall to wall carpet  from 1960's covering this hardwood.

We ripped out the carpet, stained the hard wood floors, painted the wall a neutral color and the ceiling white, then painted the fireplace surround.

This is the after shot, with a small vingette for the corner nearest the window.  It is not much, but draws out the beautiful floor and accents the fireplace, which is the redeeming feature in this 790 foot, 1944 home.

I am submitting this to the vacant home resale category! thanks all.

Adding the red makes everything pop and the organic elements (green plants) add warmth. Nice!
