Kelly’s got a good thing going on over at her blog Tearing Up Houses. She’s in a constant state of buying, selling and renovating. She recently shared her revamped living room, and isn’t it great? Love the colors she used, muted without being boring, and a huge leap away from the frightening terra cotta color the walls sported before.
Speaking of frightening, her old mosaic fireplace looked like an abstract artist’s representation of “nightmare.” Not something I want to cozy up to on a cold night, no sir. Love the new rustic mantle too. Thanks Kelley! Lots more pics to see HERE.

I love Kelly’s blog, too – she cracks me up.
