An easy living room refresh (in just a weekend) surprisingly turned into a really budget friendly transformation! I think the new year is my favorite time of year because I love switching up my home and decor to wipe the slate clean and get ready for all the new seasons ahead. So today I'm sharing some new thrifted finds, a few simple touches + some secondhand furniture that completely transformed my living room into an elevated yet cozy lounge! It’s such a nice little refresh and an affordable way to keep the home feeling new.

Share your simple and affordable room refresh tips with us here!

@Stephanie-lg1cm 4 месяца назад

The bookshelf was a visual upgrade, the table looks best by the door, it really does complete that area.

@serenakoleno9338 3 месяца назад

Would 💕 that bookshelf! The medieval chair could be great with an up-cycle to un-medieval it😂. Or just add a throw and cushion?

@melodyprice2788 2 месяца назад

I agree!!!

@Sublimefireflyy 3 месяца назад

The small table by the small wall looks very finished and elegant

@livingwithlk 3 месяца назад

Thank you!! I love it there 😊

@michellebilodeau3882 3 месяца назад

Yes.

@user-he2so5jx6s 3 месяца назад

I like how you make decorating attainable.Some "designers" make it seem so exhausting, overwhelming and expensive. You were able to do this project with ease and considerably inexpensive with your previous finds and items already in your home. And you made the room look more like a home instead of a showroom. Even when your decision wasn't quite clear you would "live with it" and make a final choice later. Thank you

@livingwithlk 3 месяца назад

Wow thanks so much for this! I really appreciate it😍

@susanhart8495 3 месяца назад

Your home is lovely and such a refreshing change from the current trend of white on white. I feel like your home shows who you are and that is a great compliment. The fireplace idea was good.

@livingwithlk 3 месяца назад

Thank you so much for this! 😊

@shygirl-vg9re 4 месяца назад

Love the bookcase but I would put the canisters (all 6) back in the kitchen and maybe add some greenery. Great lamps and shades and great curtains.

@livingwithlk 3 месяца назад

Thank you!! Haha the canisters were never in the kitchen! lol they are definitely the controversial decision of this video for sure! I really love them for now, they make me happy, and eventually this bookcase will change as I am always changing up my decor! Thank you so much for watching!

@lbagley7630 3 месяца назад

Love your style! It looks so good. Your talent for making seemingly random items work together is amazing! I want to walk around and enjoy every last detail.

@livingwithlk 3 месяца назад

haha thank you!

@cherylswindells3845 3 месяца назад

You have a great eye for decorating 😃👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. I LOVE your new living room. With your TV - leave it on the mantle and rig a picture over it when it is not in use. The picture can have a little of the brick red color in it too. Also, the are tv mounts that you can pull the tv down a bit so you won’t strain your neck. It’s actually an easy fix. I absolutely love your new bookshelves and how you decorated them. 👍🏼

@camper800 3 месяца назад

I like how the red paint brings attention to the design. Any darker colour, even slightly darker, than the colour white would draw attention to the art deco design. The TV stand is so unique!

@KattEyl 3 месяца назад

I love the idea of painting the shapes around the fireplace. Makes it look warmer.

@Eloiseat6 3 месяца назад

I didn’t think I’d like the painted fireplace, but it really works! It’s beautiful. The plant in the pot next to it is perfection.

@sarahb3606 3 месяца назад

The shoe rack and table look really good in the entryway and that bookcase was such a good find. I like the red paint on the fireplace and it does distract from the tv. I thought the tv easel would be a good solution but you were right, it did not work at all. The tv on the mantle thing is not ideal. Keep persevering you will find a solution!

@enlightndark6671 3 месяца назад

CONSIDER PAINTING THE WHITE FIREPLACE a deeper offwhite (The extreme white clashes with the red, A WARM TAUPE mimicking raw plaster will work with the red painted tiles & highlight your entire fireplace even more, spanish tiles are also mosaic) PLEASE DONT CLEAN THE VINTAGE BRASS LIGHT- (patina is lovely). FOLLOW LONE FOX, HIS HOME is also SPANISH REVIVAL plaster & brown trim with vintage thrift for more ideas about space layout. He put his TV in an armoire.

@susanvelez6534 3 месяца назад

I would leave the little table in the entry way and put a cool bowl to catch your keys center the tall floor lamp in the middle of that window

@saraosborn1297 3 месяца назад

Hey! Lampshades made of fabric (good vintage ones) can be washed with water. After vacuuming the dust, Soak in a tub with cold water and presto!

@mosha3007 3 месяца назад

The little table fits perfectly in the entryway.

@judybridges8796 3 месяца назад

Bookcase is lovely, it looks kind of Danish Modern. This may sound terrible but I like that reading floor lamp just as is. Wabi Sabi baby! Love the imperfection.

@judybridges8796 3 месяца назад

Oh my gosh, I want that multi candle stand!!!

@judybridges8796 3 месяца назад

Your style is so warm and easy. A home to be cozy and comfortable.

@livingwithlk 3 месяца назад

yea!! I honestly have been living with it and enjoying it!!

@livingwithlk 3 месяца назад

aww thank you!!🥰🥰🥰

@apt221bbakerst 3 месяца назад

I am with you on tvs. I really don't want to look at TVs unless I am using it. Some people put them in armoires, which would be too small for your tv, some get those TVs that you can digitally download a painting on it and hide it that way. I have a 21" tv and I have it inside a black bookcase which makes the tv not noticeable (black on black) till you use it which I love and I have seen someone build a cabinet in front of her's and put a print on the doors so you have art till you open the the doors to see the tv. A simple solution is go to A fabric store and find some tapestry/embroidered material and make a slip cover for it that way you can hide the tv, have art and take the slip cover off when you want to use it.

@aevan8tor 4 месяца назад

love the combo of spanish/art deco style comboed with the midcentury modern!!

@livingwithlk 4 месяца назад

Thank you!’ That’s exactly the eclectic vibe I’m going for 🥰

@halashamsan4761 4 месяца назад

loved your living room makeover, and the vibes , looks cozy and personal

@livingwithlk 4 месяца назад

Thank you! I thought about that when we moved in! But I don’t want our backs to the beautiful big window and the front door it feels off for us.

@TheGiveittomeall 3 месяца назад

Consider swapping clear lightbulbs for frosted. You won't get the shadows from the shade's wires frame.

@livingwithlk 3 месяца назад

interesting! nice tip! weirdly I am using frosted bulbs except for the one in the brass lamp

@keys6 3 месяца назад

Such a lovely room... nice furniture and great colours. Iam struggling with the condition of the walls and ceiling. Mine was the same and I had them plaster skimmed...now super smooth. I think skimming the walls would be of great benefit. 😊

@livingwithlk 3 месяца назад

Oh cool! I am actually a renter so I can’t do that as the owner wants to maintain the integrity of the “spanish revival style” of the home but I agree sometimes I wish I had smooth walls! Maybe one day if we can figure out how to buy it haha!

@clarastratford5443 3 месяца назад

Your eye for detail is so fantastic. I really love the careful approach of slowly acquiring each piece because you feel it is a work of art. Makes every part of your home special, and not just filled with things you need, but things that you also make you happy.

@clarastratford5443 3 месяца назад

And also that many of your new items where so cheap and second hand!!

@livingwithlk 3 месяца назад

Yes! They’re all things that make me happy and remind me of so many good times😊 Thanks so much for the kind words!

@cathywilson5580 3 месяца назад

Girl go over the fireplace color with some antique wax. It will make it match the hearth perfectly. Trust me 😊

@livingwithlk 3 месяца назад

I have some of that I might try it!

@shaunnarochelle 3 месяца назад

love your style. and I love that you shared your process of the bookshelf in real time and your decision making.

@livingwithlk 3 месяца назад

Thank you so much! Appreciate you hanging out 😊

@charleneblake1146 4 месяца назад

I would either seperate the canisters or remove some of them. To me, they don't fit in the design. I do love the update!!

@cathywilson5580 3 месяца назад

Take fine steal wool to get rust out of lamp then either spray paint it. Or rub a buff paint.

@nancyh1990 3 месяца назад

That synergy commentary made me chuckled 😆On another note, bringing the red/burgandy inside was such a good choice. I would have never consider that. The red tile is a little too neat/smooth compared to the terracotta red. Maybe adding a secondary color to create a texture will make the tile and brick look more cohesive. The bookshelf was such a steal! Love how the home is coming together.

@livingwithlk 3 месяца назад

Haha thanks Nancy!

@harveydales2402 3 месяца назад

I love the boldness of the color you painted on fireplace front. You could double down on this by getting a large pottery/ceramic piece and paint it this color. Or paint the front edge of the mantel the same color. Always try to go bigger if you can.

@katrish786 3 месяца назад

OMG, so cozy & homey.

@naomirichard1570 2 месяца назад

I think the red around the fireplace looks great and i would definitely leave the reading lamp as it is. The patina is great. There are a couple of things that i would change. I didn't care for the canisters in the bookcase or the shoe rack in the living room... But hey, if you like it that's what matters most. You did a great job all in all!

@livingwithlk 2 месяца назад

Thanks for your kind opinion! 🥰

@skyegroome223 3 месяца назад

If you get the adjustable tv mount, you can pull it away from the wall and pull it down or push it up and tilt it to whatever direction you want when you're using it and then push it back to its original position on the wall when you're done. It's still going to look like a black box in the room, but you won't have to strain your neck when watching it.

@Tavel614 Месяц назад

The skinny table looks great by the door

@kimberleyalexander8943 3 месяца назад

You should add a longer mirror above the small table by door The small one is slightly out of balance I love what you did with ur space I’m really liking your videos The use of vintage and thrifted items The warmth and ease of your home really gives me similar vibes to my style so I find you very great for helping me tweak spaces ❤❤❤❤

@marygallagher7392 3 месяца назад

One idea to make the TV blend in better with the fireplace is to color block the area. What if you painted the fireplace and the wall above a similar color of your sofa. The darker color would help the TV fade in a bit. Then paint the mantel and the tiles a color darker on the same paint strip. The red stands out a too much and doesn't go with the floor tiles.

@darleneprice3492 3 месяца назад

Good job everything looks great.

@sandraweiler5971 3 месяца назад

@maryharper9321 3 месяца назад

The tv stand was a no go for me as well as the kitchen canisters in the book shelf .. the curtains were great the entry table too

@livingwithlk 3 месяца назад

I'm obsessed with the curtains! I wish the TV stand would have worked but its all good, the TV isn't a sin or anything haha -- modern design is all about form follows function so I think its ok to accept the function of our home which sometimes is watching TV ☺

@winyahviewer2228 3 месяца назад

reviews on tv stand called it unsafe in homes with pets and small children.

@BrookeJohnsonTheJunkParlor 3 месяца назад

@dusty1754 3 месяца назад

@sd3k625 4 месяца назад

loved your living room makeover, but this really completes the space. going vertical with the bookshelf is a really smart way to display all your thrifted finds. I also never thought to do a refresh like this in the new year because of how expensive everything is these days but now I'm inspired to change up my apartment!

@livingwithlk 4 месяца назад

Thank you! I really want an amazing mid century teak wood console that would fit the whole wall but the price is deterring me lol so this $5 bookcase was an amazing find! Good luck on your refresh! It’s a really satisfying activity haha

@vanessaotey4633 3 месяца назад

U can add some brown rub & buff to the fire place. Table looks best on wall. Vintage is a keeper. Shine it with some furniture wax. 👍🏽👍🏽

@user-vp8gf2jh9s 3 месяца назад

Your living room is so warm and cozy, drapes are huge improvement, I would sell the chair just doesn't work in there and take the canisters back to the kitchen, otherwise it is a top notch room!

I love the bookshelf ..my mom had one just like it, hers was from the early 70's, real wood and forever lasting. I think u should use a dab of brown paint to the burgundy chimney paint to match the tiles. I just love your videos, I get so exited whenever you post a new one, we pretty much have the same style and taste and I also always like to change things around. Now I'm going to be on the hunt for a similar bookshelf because I have lots of old books and vintage artifacts to display...

@livingwithlk 4 месяца назад

Thank you so much!🥺❤️ Yes this one is solid wood! I’m so obsessed with it! Also the paint has cured a bit darker since filming, but I think I agree it needs another coat that has some brown or orange mixed in!

@cd2659 4 месяца назад

I am really into black lampshades. Just make sure it doesn't have silver on the inside, they throw off too bright white light. Gold on the inside is the best. If you happen to run into one at the thrift grab it. At any rate, the black is really good. Moody and fantastic. You can have a little lamp on the entryway table. 25 watt lightbulbs on tiny lamps are totally a vibe. It looks so good! I love the new book shelf wall and think the blanket shelf is a fantastic idea. I love it and really want to see it at night.

@livingwithlk 4 месяца назад

I forgot about black lampshades with the gold interior! My mom had some great ones when I was growing up.. I will need to keep my eye out for some cool ones : )
