Before & After of the livingroom

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...
