Around Christmas-time (hence the tree) I met up with Hollie, one of my clients, to discuss her Living Room. The room wasn’t bad. It just lacked a little bit of pazazz. She was stuck in a rut with her matching Pottery Barn pillows and the room needed more color!
We were working with the existing furniture so we mostly just needed a fabric and color scheme.
This is the board I created for her.
She loves red oranges and yellows. I picked one of my favorite fabrics, Hot House, to infuse those warm colors with some blue.
Here is how the room looks now!
The green trellis pillow is available from Nena Von on Etsy. The curtains are made from this fabric.
My amazing intern Lauren sourced this great ottoman for Hollie on Craigslist. Hollie just recovered it in another one of my favorite fabrics, Betwixt.
We had the chevron pillow done by Deco Yellow on Etsy.
This chair from Urban Outfitters is a statement piece in the room.
I think the room is a lot more interesting now.

Kirsten,
This room is beautiful! The ottoman pictured was purchased from me! I love the new fabric-it's perfect in the room. It was so fun to open up your blog this morning and see it! It's not often that I get to see how something I do looks in a room after it goes home with someone:). Again, gorgeous room!
Have a great day!
That is a stunning makeover! I love the colour scheme – so fresh and fun. I'm actually working on something similar for the family room in our new house. Thanks for the inspiration!
I *adore* that pillow combo!!! Hot house is such a fabulous color palette to begin with and that bench??? It just kind of makes the whole thing for me (c:

Gorgeous! It was great before but now it's fun, fresh and hip!
Your client must be thrilled with her new room – stunning contrasts!
Kirsten you brought that room from blah to WOW! Looks great, and just proves that the "power of pillows" really works.
You did a great job! It looks amazing! It's crazy how little bursts of inexepsive (pillows) color can add life to a dull room. Nice job!
I love this room! I love how your brightened up all of those warm colors… I need to bookmark this one. Its just the inspiration (and color scheme) I need for my living room. Thanks for sharing!!
Hi Kirsten, the new room looks amazing! Can I ask where you got the sunburst mirror from? I've had my eye on that very same one on amazon.com and I'm wondering if you found it somewhere for cheaper?
I absolutely LOVE this living room makeover! The colors are amazing and the room has been fully transformed!!!
What fabulous updates! This feels like a completely new room now! Such great color and pattern. Awesome job!
My name is Hollie too. How fun. And what fun the revamped living room is. The bright colors have brought in so much life!
This room looks great! I love the colors.
Have you seen the new houndstooth pillows on Decoyellow? So fun!
Looks great!! Love the color…
I am in LOVE with this room. In fact, I am using it as the inspiration for my own. Thanks!!!!
Where did you purchase the sunburst mirror…or where did your client get it?
