The first step in implementing the redesign of the lower level, guest bedroom, and upstairs hallway was repainting the walls. I did all of the walls in the same base color as the living rooms on the main level, and used the same accent color for the lower level as the living room and the sitting room.
I also repainted the brick and mantle of the lower level fireplace in similar fashion to the fireplace in the sitting room.
Next up is new art for all of the walls, along with new flooring in the upstairs hallway and rugs in the lower level living room and guest bedroom.
