Our living room

Check out our living room before:

Made a big, undoable decision to paint the fireplace. 

Of course, I didn't actually take photos before we actually tore the room apart.

 

Second to last set of 1950's curtains in the house!

Notice there are no overhead lights

Now check it out after:

We're going to leave the walls white so we painted the fireplace; check out the lights above the mantle

Love these Ikea curtains!

Without flash

My awesome husband spent hours in the 120 degree attic to install this overhead light

I love the mantle!

I am going to hem these curtains; sometime soon.....
