before + after: e-design library/music room

as promised- a few better images of a recently completed e-design plan

for a formal living room turned into a library/music room...
but first, some before pictures.

as you can see, the room is large, has high ceilings, and is open to the foyer.

the walls were already a dark red, so i knew the homeowners would be open to painting them an equally dark (but much less vivid) charcoal grey.

 

and, the AFTER pictures:

as you can see, we painted the walls a dark charcoal color, which the room can handle because of the high ceilings, and the fact that one wall is entirely open to the entry and hall. all of the bookcases, the piano, and the love seat already belonged to the homeowner...we added the chairs, the ottoman, a new rug, a new side table, and some lamps to spruce the room up and add some character.
there are still a few minor pieces missing--a side table for one of the blue chairs and a floor lamp next to the love seat, but overall, i am SUPER impressed with what my client has been able to accomplish. i finished this plan in late november, and even with the holidays, she managed to accomplish SO much.
