Going Tall in the Living Room

Painted walls; replaced nasty carpet with hardwoods to match front of the house. Sold my old living room furniture on Craigslist. Invested in one piece -- the leather loveseat. All other pieces were bought on sale at Tarjay and World Market. Kept one existing decorative chair. Rug was 50% off at HomeGoods. Bought ONE brown drape panel on sale at Pier 1 and had seamstress divide it into two pieces to add length to existing drapes. Removed fireplace mantel and tiled the fireplace wall. Removed staircase railing to open up space.
