A Mini Make Over


One of my gal pals asked me to help her with some pillows & accessories to give the family room a bit of a lift.
Below are the before pics of the space.





They already painted the walls, built ins & ceiling white. The walls & were very creamy beige & the ceiling was pink, think dusty rose pink! It's amazing how bright the room is now.
We ventured off to HomeSense to make our purchases.


We had 2 colour schemes in mind. 
The first included varying shades of teal, green, natural linen & hints of gold metallic. We used the piece of art over the fireplace for inspiration. 
 The second was made up of natural linen, taupe, greys & gold metallic, for a softer feeling.

Here are the afters.










 As you can see we went with the taupe, grey & metallic gold scheme. 
I love mixing colour, texture, shape, size & pattern when it comes to pillows. We have 6 different fabrics happening with the pillows alone!

The rug doesn't look so bossy now & the beautiful piece of art over the fireplace really stands out. The simplicity of the styling on the bookshelves allows each piece to be highlighted.

For the accessories, all we purchased was the multi coloured glass vase on the top left shelf and the pair of silver obelisks on the console. All of the other pieces already belonged to my friend, it really pays to shop your home.

Have a great Tuesday.
