Welcome back—today I’m taking you through my complete new home living room makeover + tour. We’ve been in this house about three months, and the living room is honestly a weird shape with super tall ceilings… but I love the architecture so much. The biggest change right away was paint: this house was giving very “built in ’92” with that brown, outdated vibe, so I painted my main floor Pure White by Sherwin Williams (yes, it took multiple coats because I picked white and those ceilings are TALL). I also swapped furniture around—sold the green couch on Facebook Marketplace, brought our comfy couches back upstairs, and started building a cozy-but-contemporary look. I share the budget-friendly details that made the room feel elevated: Amazon curtains (I did two panels per side for that fuller, more expensive look), painting the honey oak trim, and even painting the windows black for a little pop. I also talk through the real-life trial and error—like the wall art I loved but eventually took down because it didn’t fit once the rest of the room came together. Mirrors + rechargeable sconces ended up being the perfect solution for that blank wall, and I show you how I styled the sideboard for extra storage (because if everything has a place, it won’t be sitting out). And yes—there’s no coffee table, because this is where we fold laundry and I was over moving it around.
