Welcome to our Living Room!
We primarily use this space for entertaining friends and for enjoying each other's company at the end of the day.
(Disclaimer: It was my hubby's idea to place the TV above the fireplace. I only agreed because he's a sweetie and gives me free reign on all other decorating decisions!)

My nemesis is our 12 foot curved sectional that moved with us from our previous home. It dominates the space and seriously limits furniture placement.
I decided to center the sectional on the wall opposite the window. This way, we can enjoy an unobstructed view of our backyard and the small lake beyond.

The two Louis IV chairs were originally in our master bedroom. I reupholstered the seats and painted the frames to better compliment this room's decor.
Below is a 'BEFORE' shot of the room.
I wasn't happy with the look of the divided sectional and wanted the area to feel more open and spacious.
This is an 'AFTER' photo taken from the same angle as the 'before' shot.
I replaced the long mirrors, and relocated the lamps and side tables to create a sense of balance in the room. The white leather chairs are now happily residing in our bedroom upstairs.
It's amazing what a difference simply rearranging the furniture can make! The living room now feels more spacious and creates a nice, visual flow with the rest of the great room.
What are your thoughts? Do you like the 'new look' of our living room, or do you prefer the 'before' version?
