Living Room Makeover: Flip Edition

I can’t believe it, but this is the final room{s} to show y’all of our first flip. This house was so fun to work on since it was a great transformation, and the living room was no exception.

The room started off with some seriously great bones. The curved brick wall, the fireplace, the open{ish} concept, it was all fun! We knew some things worked as is, but a lot had to change. The main things were the small arches, as well as the fireplace. You’ll see a bit further down how it was furnished to tie in with the transformation, however, that can all be changed (obviously), and new inhabitants can go onto websites like https://www.plushy.co.uk/footstools/footstool-coffee-table/ as well as similar others, to find some decor items that suit what they want their overall theme to be.

Here is how it started:

The first few things we did were to take out the arches, and open the wall next to it:

Then came the fun aesthetic parts: hardwood floors, smoothing of wall, paint, painting the fireplace and adding a mantle, adding can lights and ceiling fans, painting the ceiling in the other room etc. It is SO fun to see all the changes completely transform the rooms. I then got to start buying furniture which is something I really enjoyed! I was going to get some Barrymore furniture chairs but in the end, I decided to get a big sofa. This room is designed to have lots of people in, so I thought a sofa would be best. I also bought a TV cabinet, mirror, and a huge leather chair which is super comfy. I’m just so pleased with how everything has turned out!

I really love the mantle we put on. It is actually an old rail road track! Those types of details are my favorite thing about working on homes, adding fun touches!

What is your favorite part of the rooms? The fireplace? The curved wall? The ceiling beams? I can never decide!

Now that this house is done it just makes me even more excited to get going on the new flip- cant wait to show you guys it all!!!
