Scared?  Start with the guest bed bedding to try your hand at mixing colors.  From their you can build the confidence to work with larger spaces?

Anyone here a master at mixing colors?  Or are you afraid?

Chic and beautiful living spaces

FREE IMAGES In my house, the living room is the center of our house. Not only is it the first room you see when you walk in, it's the place where we spend the most time.  When our wedding is over and we have our lives back - the living room is second on my makeover list after my office.

LOVE the wall treatment in this space.  The crown molding and chandeliers mixed with the modern decor is really cool too.

I love that this console isn't all about the TV!  Pretty accessories and a gallery wall distract from the TV.

I love the proportions of the furniture in this space - it's something I need to pay more attention too in my own house.
