Room Label
My Living Room I want this room to feel more masculine/feminine/neutral
Feminine What type of sunlight does this room receive?
Morning light What do you currently dislike about the room?
There is no design. I have bought 3 to 4 different curtains and I never like them. I don't like the lamps. My entertainment center needs replaced. Would be willing to buy different tv to hang on the wall. I don't watch it much and it's large. I will be updating all the doors in the house at some point. What pieces of existing furniture, lighting, art or accessories do you want to keep in the design?
My butterflies, My painting above the coach. I would be interested in a new couch if it wasn't too expensive to do. My reproductions of French text book from Restoration Hardware. All 3 of those would need to stay. Dining Room table to keep. Chairs can go. Are you open to changing your wall colors?
Yes Do you have a preference for either paint or wall covering, or are you open to both?
Open to both Are you open to changing your floor covering?
Yes, Wood, Area Rugs Attach a floor plan

Living Room:
Since your rooms are smaller and ceilings are low, using a light and pale color will enhance the light and the space in your room. A neutral wall color will complement the room style and allow for pops of color in accessories & artwork.
The two toned beige paint colors will create a calming, sophisticated base for your furnishings, while allowing architectural details of the house such as chair rails and molding (painted) in a satin or semi gloss white to pop against them. We recommend painting the interior doors a satin or semi gloss black to introduce some drama and visual interest to the space. If you're unsure about black interior doors or would like to see some examples, follow the link below. http://southernhospitalityblog.com/painting-interior-doors-black/
Use an eggshell finish paint on the walls, which has a very light touch of shine (similar texture to an eggshell as implied by its name). This finish is very often used for walls and is more durable and easier to clean than matte finish
