I thought it would be fun to chronicle how I think about “making over” a room step by step. The next room on my plate is the sitting room/my office. While it looks fine, I want to make some changes that are more to my taste. This is my inspiration image. I love the mix of the preppy stripes with the ethnic rugs.

We need to call an electrician to get an overhead light installed. In the meantime, I’m going to paint the walls white to help brighten everything up. We also have a TV console and new coffee table on the way.

(P.S. Can you spot the corgi below?)
