Cozy and moody living room design plan

Come see my living room design plan – I have big ideas to make this a cozy moody and absolutely functional space!

I may or may not already have another unfinished project at the moment butttt…I’m starting another one right away!

Let me tell you why:

We are getting our hardwood flooring installed in THREE weeks – and we want to have most of the painting done by then.  Obviously we don’t HAVE to, but it would make life a little easier to just paint with the old carpets under us and not have to worry about ruining our brand new floors.

So here’s the living room right now:

It’s an open room to our kitchen and it’s a room that people will see from most places in the house.  It’s kind of central to the home. It’s also a pretty dark room – that little funky octagon window is letting in some light, but more of it is coming from the glass french doors to the left of this picture – they lead to our sunroom. 

We decided to embrace the darkness of the room instead of fighting against it.  We want to give this room a cozy & moody feel.  Since our kitchen is so bright, and it’s in the same space, we think it’ll balance nicely.

This is what we have planned for the room:

Ooooh as soon as I put that mood board together I got SO excited for this room to come together!

We’re just doing phase one of the project right now – painting the room dark and lime washing the fireplace.  The board & batten and the built in bookshelves will come later! Again – not ready to fully complete the project but trying to get the messy stuff done first.

I’m going to be testing out some moody green/gray paint colors next and I can’t wait to get started!!  Major updating coming up soon – without a major price tag! My favorite kind of makeover!
