Monday Redesign: Amy's Living Room

Remember Amy's great blue wall in her Living/Dining Room area?  Here is the before picture:


The wall is about 25 feet long with a 15 foot peak.  Amy just painted the wall and needs help decorating it.  Here is the redesign:
 

General tip:  To decorate a vaulted ceiling, try to mimic the peak as much as possible.  This will make the wall visually appealing. 

A break down of the goodies:

1. I would place a tall bookcase to visually separate the living area from the dining room.  I would use many of the picture frames you had placed on the piano and end table and use them to decorate the shelves.  {This bookcase is from ikea and is only $60!}


2. I found this wonderful pitcher on etsy and love its texture and colors.  I think it's a perfect accent to place on the top shelf of the bookcase.


3. Add a plant to the top of the bookcase.  This will extend the height of the bookshelf even more and also add greenery to the room.  {The plant pictured is a pothos}.


4. Hang some art work above the piano.  I found this art piece at Target.  It's three separate pieces.  I would hang them about 6 inches apart.


5. Hang an art piece above the dining room table.  This will create balance in the room.  I suggest something like this Iron Forest Wall Art.  Again, found at Target.


6. Add a modern lamp to the corner of the room.  I found this lamp at ikea for only $40!


7. Clear off the piano so it looks clean and simple.  Add an orchid to the top of the piano next to your family picture.  It adds a color pop and brings everything together. 

I hope you enjoy your new wall redesign, Amy!  I sure had a great time designing it.  Do you need a space makeover?  Submit your space here.
