Living Room and Fireplace

The living room also includes the bar area and fish tank area shown on the last post.
Here are the before pictures of the living room and fireplace:

After:
I painted the wall Harvest Brown and the fireplace column Mississippi Mud (both Behr flat enamel). The lights, wall & outlet plates, vents were all painted dark anodized brown. I replaced all the light switches with the same kind since the original ones seemed to consist of every possible type and style you can buy. I still need to paint a couple of the track lights.





The bottoms of all window ledges were tiled with slate.

The old mexican tile was removed from the fireplace and replaced with multicolor slate. I replaced the kitsch southwest themed fireplace grills with grills from Reggio Register.

Originally 2 coax cables and a phone line were just coming out of the fireplace wall. I installed a plate for these.

Speaking of "Kitsch", my goal is to take this house which is oozing with southwest themes to the point of nausea and convert it into a more contemporary place. Tip for others: "Just because a house is in Tucson, AZ or anywhere in the southwest, it doesn't have to have southwestern themed decoration."
