I live in Arizona, so tile in every room is nothing strange to me. But Tenille’s living room had a tile job that just looked out of place. (“In place” would be somewhere like a public bathroom). And surely you’ve noticed the glaring wall of brick. Literally glaring. It looks angry at me.
So Tenille softened up the room with new carpet and calming colors. The fireplace that was once a demanding focal point became a subtle accent, and the whole room now looks like a happy, serene place to hang out.
Take an up-close and personal look on her blog Everyday Moments. Thanks Tenille!
