After: Cozy and Inviting
Carolyn turned the cozy living room into a warm, relaxing space for tenants to snuggle up by the fireplace, watch TV or simply enjoy conversation with guests. To best utilize the space, a pair of gray flannel two-seater sofas were floated in front of the fireplace, balanced with a generously sized walnut coffee table and grounded with a transitional iron pendant. Previously lacking a focal point, the fireplace wall is now packed with architectural interest, the result of being clad with 1x10 pine plank, which was updated with a whitewash finish.
