Living Room Becomes Modern

Designer Betty Kim, host Jill Cordes and Julie's big sister, Eunice, pulled off this transformation by painting, sewing and using power tools and even dance to create a happening makeover. Gold paint and colorful accent pieces breathe much-needed life into the space. Julie and Eunice cut and put up molding around the fireplace mirror, which creates the illusion of a larger space, and the wall sconces on each side provide a warm glow.
