After sharing the dining room reveal last week (catch it right here if you missed it!), we're moving on today to the living room at the Murray Bungalow. The largest space in the home, the living room is located directly off of the front entry, across from the dining room (see location map below).
This room has seen quite a transformation. Endowed with lovely original features -- including a bank of lead glass windows, charming transoms, hefty ceiling beams, & built-in window bookcase -- the room was a joy to update. Cosmetically, we refreshed the overall aethetic with new paint, baseboards, and wood flooring to bring in a clean, modern feel. Functionally, we carved out a wide cased opening along the east wall to provide a direct connection to the home's new kitchen. This single change opened the room to even more natural light, and allowed the living room to play an integral role in the home's new open-concept layout. Take a look at the "before" photos, and learn more about our renovation work in this room, right here.
On now to the finished photos! Scroll through below and you'll see so many sweet moments in this living room space. The light is soft & diffuse. The size feels generous, yet cozy. The pretty beams, original windows, and built-in make the room feel special, set apart from the rest of the house. From the photos, you'll also gain a clear sense of how all of the rooms flow together on the main floor of the home, within and around the living room. Who knew that a 100-year old bungalow would lend itself so well to a contemporary, open-concept layout? A true marvel and testament to the longevity of this classic architectural form.
At the end of the post, we have all of the key sources (finishes, furniture, and styling) summarized for your reference. Enjoy :).
