Bright Living Room with a whole lot of Fantastic Ideas!

Just came across this beautiful living room on Martha Stewart‘s website, and had to share. The wonderfully fresh and unusual color palette of yellow, orange and green isn’t the only great thing about it. Let’s take a look at some of the awesome features of this home:
*
First of all, the gorgeous paneling. It’s made from sawn balusters! Fantastic idea, right? You can get those at Empire Woodworks.
*
The coffee table is an army cot covered with trays that homeowner Rebecca, made herself.
*
See the beautiful ceiling detail? It’s radiator grill material cut into strips and lined with regular trim. The grill material was also used as shutters for the windows and as screens on the doors and cabinets.
*
Isn’t it amazing what you can achieve by finding new uses for things? You can see and read all about this room here =)

love the boldness…not sure if I could live with it….maybe a cushion with this combo would give me a fix. Boring I know.

This is aaamazing!! so crafty, I would have never guessed you could use a radiator grill that way, I’m on my way to take apart our car right now! But seriously, the space is just beautiful :)
