British Colonial Living Room

Homeowners Lisa, Stuart and their two boys have been living in their condo for a few years, but it still looks as dull and sterile as the day they moved in. The living room is filled with old furniture and lots of toys. They love the fireplace, but have only used it once. The carpet is so well worn that the stains even have stains. The couple wants to spiff the place up. The home is three blocks from the beach, so they'd like to incorporate a seaside feel into the room and fill it with natural colors and organic elements.
