The living room exudes warmth, rich color, and character. A high-backed sofa provides definition, separating the room from the adjoining dining area. A painted brick fireplace and shiplap walls give off a farmhouse attitude while the built-in bookcases take a color cue from the hardwood trees around Brierfield. A botanical paisley print, used for the curtains and skirted swivel chairs as well as for the dining room curtains, brings pattern into the room.
For the coffee table, we styled the room two ways. An upholstered ottoman (seen in the video) invites kicking back, while a cocktail table painted a rich russet hue (pictured below) can corral drinks at a gathering.
