Congratulations, Designers, not only a gorgeous board but at unbelievably low prices !!!!! You ARE Amazing !!!!!!
Thank you because I’m using your board for my green leather sofa and chair which we cannot part with but want some changes.

Amy, this is just great and I have green leather sofa and chair and I am doing a similar design in my room as well. I am going to B M on Monday to buy paint samples. I have Yosemite Sand in my kitchen so I am hoping the Septia tan will work for me too. I’ll try a few different paints, my dining room is behind the living room so I wonder if I should paint the DR a darker color ???? Any suggestions?
I am looking forward to your After Pictures.
Have fun and Enjoy, it will be gorgeous !

Gosh Amy, that would be great. The youngsters mood boards are awesome, but it’s so much more awesome when we see them put into practice!! IMO there are way too many mood boards out there with no “after” pictures to go with them. Git ‘er done! :-) heh heh

How fun to see my mood board featured! I’ve already purchased my items, have paint samples on the walls and am doing prep work on the brick.

Big breakthrough…my husband has agreed to get rid of the huge (62″) tv and replace it with one that is just over 50″.

I promise to photograph and submit “after” shots. My goal is to get it done within the next two weeks. I’m a slow painter, but my older daughter wants to help so that should speed things up. I’m also waiting for Directv to come out to move the connection to the new wall.

Thanks so much for all of your fabulous ideas, I’m really excited to see everything come together!

Hey Allyson (& Amy),

Good luck with all the redecorating! We can’t wait to see how it all comes out. We’re on the edge of our seats…

Hey everyone, I’m Amy’s daughter and I’m just here to say that the couches aren’t as horrible as you all think. They came out really light in the pictures. They are actually a deep olive color.
Thanks for the lovely mood board guys! We love it and bought almost everything from it. :D

I think this is my favorite board you have ever done! I like the idea of painting the brick and the bookcase the same color.

I love the green leather sofa and I agree with Christin M that I like the brick wall. The only aspect of the brick that I don’t love is the whitish bricks mixed in, which could easily be remedied with a brick paint to blend it in more with the others. Because the space is so nice and big and open to begin with, the brick would simply enhance it!

In fact, tons of people try to replicate the exposed brick look. There was a girl I met who created this with her husband for their sons room:

Either way Amy goes, I think the mood board you’ve created for her looks fabulous and will turn out smashingly.
