This living room underwent a substantial transformation, transitioning from dark and dated to one that is light and airy. The walls were repainted in neutral tones to enhance the brightness of the space. The fireplace, a central element, received a German schmear treatment, utilizing a light-colored mortar to achieve a textured finish, allowing the natural brick to subtly emerge. The outcome is refined and timeless. The harmonious blend of neutral hues and meticulously chosen furnishings, contribute to an overall sense of calm and sophistication in the remodeled living space.
