Hi Amy! Love this makeover. Wanting to paint our fireplace (although it’s not a whole wall it would look SO much better painted)…did you use specific directions, get directions from a home improvement store? Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks , you are the best. I’ll check Wal-Mart and hang 2, that’s a great idea.

Hey Catherine,

We don’t specifically shop for readers unless they’re clients (you can check out our design services here: http://www.younghouselove.com/home-advice/) but we would recommend checking out places like Target or Walmart for super cheap and amazing woven shades (we got all of ours at Walmart, and for our large picture window in the living room we actually just hung two next to each other for a seamless yet totally budget friendly look). Hope it helps!

Wonderful job on this makeover. I found that the Monroe Bisque worked best for my room. I also have the same drapery panels, Linden Barkwood in Toffee and want to use a woven shade, will you please recommend something from Smith& Noble or another online retailer for a coordinating woven shade for my large 96″ wide window? Thank you so much.
You have a great website !!

Can I ask what color of paint was used on the fireplace?? Was it the BM Sepia Tan 1116?

Wow! Sherry, John and Amy, you did such a wonderful job. Thank you Amy, for sending in the “After” pictures. I always want to see how the rooms turn out! I liked the curtains so much I just ordered some for my living room, which also has white shutters. I think it will make the room finally feel finished.

Yup, just slide one or even two tones lighter. The lighting in your home is probably just different than Amy’s. Hope it helps!

Looks Great !!!! I tried the Sepia Tan in my LR but it was too dark for the room. Would you suggest I go up one shade lighter in the same color series? Thanks.
