I am so excited to share this Living & Dining room reveal with you today!  I am very happy with the results.

If you want to catch up on this project, go here . The preview post will give you specifics like floor plan layout, the furniture that we kept, the inspiration board with the newly selected furniture, the before picture, the new area rug, and the new wall paper - the inspiration for this project.
