I like the sage green in the "tree" wall art, the dark accent colors, brown upholstery, and the fireplace. The room is really pretty.

Thanks again! The paint color is called 'Contemplation' it by Behr. Here is a link to the breakdown of this room on my blog. http://wp.me/P1MmG7-5s

Nicely done! What is the paint color in your family room?

Very well done , love the art . It's a warm , comfy looking room . Good job .

I'm glad you came back to comment on the comments. In looking at the fireplace again, it's a nice brick vs. the flat cheap patio type brick. It's warm and has dimension so keeping it original is probably a good choice and beefing up the mantle down the road will look great too. And of course built ins. You have a beautiful home.

Cont..

My daughter and husband broke it. Maybe wen she is older, and not using it as a diving board to the couch.
The couch, its massive, The TV is also a 55 hung high, you can see it easy from anyplace in the room, the couch faces the fireplace {The open part of the 'U' anyways} But even from the farthest point of the couch, you can curl up with pillows and throws and see the TV great. Bummer thing about this room is that everything is where it 'Has' to be. Until the day we blow out the wall with the mirror to the formal living room.

Thanks everyone for the input! getting great ideas!

Thanks everyone. I do have hopes on building a large chunky white fireplace surround and mantel, but I will be keeping the brick. It really reflects the outside of my home as well as the city I live in. I also hope to frame the mirror with a chunky frame, and take the smaller prints down! hahaha mind reader! I had art here before, but this being the only wall in the room to catch any of the natural light from the other rooms, it bounces it around in here very well. Made it so much brighter its crazy!
The beams were once dark, but when they were, you could tell they were not real wood. The ceiling is a flat cream, beam are gloss white, they really pop in real life, but with the crappy camera + dark room, it looks blah. I thought about painting them a cherry color, but even when it was just primer on them, the room just felt taller and more open, so white they went.
I had an awesome hexagon coffee table I painted the same white as the entertainment center, beams, trim, but......

i love how this space is coming together! and knowing it's being done on a budget makes it even better! :] i agree with blonde about the art work behind the sofa and the mirror...good advice. also, i love the earthy texture of your bricks, and wouldn't paint them! i do wonder where the tv is in correlation to the sofa....from what i can see, tv viewing doesn't seem like it's comfortable. i would add some sort of coffee table [i LOVE coffee tables! LOL!] and would seriously consider replacing the mantle mirror with a great piece of art. keep us posted! :] this looks GREAT!

This looks amazing! It's hard to believe it's the same room as before! I remember your post from a while ago and it's great to see how it's evolving. I love the new sconces. They were just the ticket for that wall! I would remove the small art from the mirror wall. It's a bit much, especially on the sconce corner where it appears a bit crowded. Are you aware there is such a thing as mirror framing kits? I think it would look terrific if you framed the large mirror over sectional with it {or you can just cut and stain it yourself for a bit cheaper}. We did this with our unframed bathroom mirror {bought the framing kit at Lowes for about $30.00 - you just use included adhesive to adhere it right onto the mirror edges} and it transformed the feel of the room. It comes in a variety of finishes, from white to oak to cherry to black and can also be painted. I agree with Barbara that the fp would look great painted white and really help brighten the space but you seem to like it natural.

I like your idea for the sconces. That's a great way to add light when you don't have room for a floor lamp or side table. I have that same problem in my TV room. I also have a brown sofa very similar to yours and I really like the way yours looks against the wall color. What is your paint color? I may have to borrow some of your ideas!
