We got possession of the house! Now it’s a race to get a few things done before we move in. First up, painting the built-in bookshelves in the great room.
The previous owners’ style was pretty, with distressed black painted built-ins around the fireplace. But I knew I wanted something lighter and breezier in this room, where the view of our property is the star of the show with the wall of windows.
The walls in this room were already a pretty neutral, so I decided to paint the built-ins a nice clean white to match the window and baseboard trim.
I’m so pleased with the transformation. the room already feels bigger.
You can see my husband’s speakers here; while my priority is design and mood, his is electronics and sound! We’ll be buying a new television to go above that fireplace. I’ll post more once I get those shelves styled and the hubby gets his biggest-ever flatscreen. 📺
