The owners of this 1980s home completed a kitchen remodel, and wished to update the rest of the living space to reflect the bright, clean, updated look of the new kitchen. We furnished the two living room areas with farmhouse-style wood furniture pieces to anchor the rooms, and decorated with whites and blues to create a beachhouse vibe in the heart of the desert.

We rehabbed the fireplace and added a custom wood mantle, making this a centerpiece of the room. We also demolished a bulky built-in shelving unit to open up the room and add square footage. New overhead lights and fresh paint brightened the whole space. We finished with a gallery wall, and this space is now a point of pride for the family.
