NOTE:
I was so happy to be able to use this brown in my house. I absolutely love it. The big windows and white moldings really gave me the ability to go so dark.

I'm very pleased with the "flow" of these two rooms. The colors really mesh well, and I was blessed to be given so many furniture pieces (most of them free) that help tie the rooms together. These two rooms were intended to be spaces that are inviting, warm, and cozy-- with a hint of modernized antique-ness. It's been neat seeing my vision come together to create a space that encompasses that exact vision!
