Living Room Before and After

This plain fireplace, we bought from an online selling site. It was a fourth of the price for the same one at retail price. We got a great deal but it looks so plain. 

The fireplace just wasn't making a statement with shiny white paint. 

So I painted it this lovely, vibrant shade of red. 

Wow, what a difference a little bit of paint can make.

I got a suggestion to maybe not have the table floating around so much. So, I worked things in a little better and even unpacked some more of out things. 

Here is the before picture of the living room. We cleared out all the furniture, carpet, popcorn ceiling and window treatments. What do you think? Does it look fun, relaxing and oh so, Florida?
