It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Specifically, How the Grinch Stole Christmas. (If you are looking for a holiday movie to base your home decor around, that’s not the one. Home Alone is a good one, but that’s not the point). Here’s the point: Nancy’s before living room was dark, dated, and looked a bit like the Grinch himself had shimmied down the chimney and stolen every last crumb of cheer.
Nancy was not having it. Let’s see how she worked her magic:
Hello cheer explosion! It’s like a perennial springtime in here now. So fresh, airy and light. Nancy says one of the most helpful changes was mounting the TV over the fireplace, which freed up tons of room and allowed furniture placement to flow.
And wouldn’t you say that it’s true … that this room seemed to grow three sizes too? I would.
High five Nancy! Much more to see on her blog Artsy Chicks Rule.

November 10, 2015 at 9:19 PMWow. Dark paneling makes me almost mad. I’ve painted waaaaay too much of it. Builders and designers on lsd back then? They musta thought it looked really warm and welcoming. Because they were wasted. These changes are unreal. Five thumbs up!
