Living Room Before & After

Here is the living room of our house before we bought it. 

Here is what we did to it.  Matt sanded down the mantel and re-stained with Kona stain. I then used  the Valspar Virtual Painter program to help me decide my color scheme.  I used Behr's "ultra pure white" on the fireplace wall and Valspar's "delta sandbar" on the surrounding walls.
