Before & After of the livingroom
by
Trine F
the living room was yet another dark den at the cottage. Even with the huge windows, it seemed dark and nightmare-ish to me... like a horror flick from the 90's :)
So I painted it the same very light green as the diningroom, and accented it with fairytale whimsy, an old sofa ect ect. I wanted it to feel alittle like a fairytale garden :)
Once again, all the furniture was found 2nd hand at fleamakrkets og craigs list type places :) Or hand me downs from friends & family...

the horrible before :) I never understood why the former owner wanted to put the sofa in front of those gorgeous windows!!?! What was she thinking?!??
a new light filled living room... The chair doesnt normally sit in front of the tv. But for some reason it ended up there in the photo....
My reading chair :) and hand made shelves from dad.
the sofa set is from the 60's I think. Unfortuantly it is very worn and I hope to some day have it re-upholstered. The art above the sofa is fairytale creatures by Tony DiTerlizzi from the book "Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide"

I added your birdcage with the hanging skeleton keys to my upcycled birdcage clipboard.
