I recently came across this sunny living room makeover on Facebook, and since we all love a good before and after, I asked Amy if I could share on my blog. . . This space was previously used for toy storage, but Swoon Interiors transformed it into a pretty, yet still family-friendly space.
Before. . .
After. . .

I asked Amy to share her sources for designing this room without breaking the bank:
“To achieve this look on a budget, I shopped around big box stores, West Elm, Macy’s, Home Decorators, Ballard, Wisteria, to find pieces that had a similar look to some of my favorite high-end pieces … a mirrored table, wing-back chairs, a tufted sofa, a geometric rug. I designed the curtains through Village Workroom, which were surprising affordable, yet, I think, totally make the room. Then, of course, I turned to Etsy to find pillows made from designer fabrics and unique artwork.
Finally, I shopped flea markets to find some of the fun accessories. My client and her husband did the painting and hung the curtain rods. And, she enlisted her dad to help give an old armoire new life with several coats of white paint … so it was a family affair!” Amy Tausk, Swoon Interiors

Love it!! Thanks for sharing! :)
love! i can’t wait to do our make over!!
I like it, especially the curtains, but it doesn’t look too kid friendly afterwards… The lamp and white patterned fabrics and no toys anymore. Maybe they are hidden?? : )
I agree with Andrea V, it doesn’t look too kid friendly anymore, I also have 5 kids and in my house those gorgeous curtains would be dirty from sticky fingers and faces in 5 seconds flat. That being said, I totally swooned when I saw it;)
Really like the combination of grey and the soft yellows and greens.
Awesome makeover! The fabric on those wing chairs is awesome!
Now that’s my kind of room!
Love this room – I love that you showed a room with angled windows – we have those in our bedroom and I just don’t know what to do in terms of curtains,etc.
Thanks so much for featuring me and this living room makeover on your blog Emily! I am currently working with this same client on her family room, which will be a little less formal and more kid-friendly. This living room is definitely a little more “adult” oriented, but we still wanted it to have a fun, fresh feel. Thanks for all of the nice comments everyone!
Um… Wow!!! I had to scroll back up as soon as I saw the after. I couldn’t believe it was the same space! Looks awesome!
Beautiful, I love the grey and yellows. They did an amazing job!!
So cute! Now I want to paint some furniture more than ever.
So beautiful!
El cambio es espectacular….
