No big projects have been done to this room yet other then painting the walls
and moved my furniture in.

Crown molding and wainscot are on the to do list.

**Update I have started the wainscot in the living room Check back for photos.  
Below are photos of my layout and the previous owners layout.

Cost:
         $500.00 for leather sofa
         Cost of paint for this room was split with the dining room, used the same color, 2 gallons of
         Sherwin Williams Softer Tan paint.
         $300.00 Bombe Chest        

Tools:
         Paint & Roller      

Action plan:
         Paint room & put my own furnishings in

Still To Do:
         Purchase and install flat screen tv on wall.
         Install wainscoting (same as what I put in the dining room) **Now in progress
         Install crown molding
         Purchase new chair & end table
         Build & install built in bookcase unit.
         Considering a new coffee table

Inspiration:
         I didn't really have any solid inspirations for this room.  I knew what color scheme I wanted, knew
         I wanted a flat screen tv. 

Process:
        As soon as I moved in I painted the walls and bought the leather sofa.  I never liked the tv cabinet
        I had so I eventually replaced it with the black bombe chest.  Purchased an uplight that I put behind
        the clock, it's very pretty when light at night.  Replaced the window blinds with scalloped roller shades.

Updates:
         I have started the wainscot in here, hope to have it finished soon!  Check back for more photos of the
         wainscot as I progress!

After I Panited the walls SW Softer Tan and moved my furniture in!

                  Latest purchase is the black bombe chest,
I plan on purchasing a flat screen tv and hanging it above the chest in the future.
