The Living Room: Before

In At Home by Michelle KowalskiLeave a Comment

Welcome to the living room tour. This room features a classic Crystal Palace design choice: aggressive paint colors.

Good, Bad, Weird

Good

  • large front window
  • built in bookshelves
  • leaded glass cabinets
  • fireplace
  • open to the dining room

Bad

  • some of the leaded glass panels are broken
  • a piece of the floor is missing/poorly patched
  • the front center window doesn’t stay open

Weird

  • awful color choices, you can really appreciate the whole house palette in these photos(see neon kitchen)
    • red built ins
    • gold fireplace
    • flesh-toned bricks
  • the fireplace doors are taped on to the fireplace
  • Linda’s decor style: ALL. THE. DEITIES.
