Guest Appearance

Everyone likes a good before and after! Namely me. Since my house is currently stuck in a "before" holding pattern (with maybe a few "durings" thrown in), I thought I'd showcase Katie and her husband Steve's lovely recent transformation of their living room with plantation shutters and a navy accent wall.

"BEFORE" they had brown and yellow curtains that they had inherited from the builder:

Now, "AFTER," they have beautiful clean, sunny, white plantation shutters:

So pretty, and of course, so "preppy" :)

They also painted the wall above their fireplace a deep, rich navy blue. Love the way it looks with the brick! Also love Katie's masterful mantle arrangement.

Thanks Katie for allowing me to share!
