simple/realistic LIVING ROOM MAKEOVER + Where I've Been & other House Updates/Projects

[@Lilly-xg5xw]

If you add some lovely window treatments it can totally elevate this room to whole different level 😊 Especially if you layer it with sheers and solid full length curtains. It can make the small windows appear larger 😊

[@rosecityremodel2015]

I fully support your family first priority list! I had to laugh when you called yourself a picture frame hoarder. I always look for picture frames and pictures at garage, yard and antique shops!

[@valerie624]

When you walked into your finished living room it made me smile. So lovely! It all came together seamlessly I think. My fav part was the windows. Those curtains are beautiful. I hate blinds! Thank you for sharing!

[@carolmiller8811]

Your style is always elegant, Megan. Can’t believe I just now saw this video! I always look forward to seeing your videos. Blessings!♥️

[@jamiebowden4707]

Yeah! I LOVE your style and the way you have decorated your beautiful home! I get so many design ideas from you! Thank you! 😊 P.S. Where do you buy your clothes? You wear the cutest dresses and tops!

[@MeganBell]

Yay! Thank you! I appreciate the compliments. A lot of my tops and dresses are from Doen. And I often find them lightly used.

[@beckykueng3017]

I had just checked to see if you had uploaded a video and I was so happy to see that you HAD !! Love your style and your home. I'm so glad you have had a wonderful summer with your kids....you will never regret being there with them and they will have all the memories of you and these special summer days. I love the makeover and I'm glad you moved the living room back to the room with all those lovely bookshelves. To me bookshelves just MAKE a room more cozy and warm and lived in. You did a great job with the makeover and It looks lovely and warm....LOVE the green pillow covers. Hope the rest of your summer is great. Hope to see you again in the Fall. !!

[@MeganBell]

Oh thank you for saying all of that! And yes I’ll definitely be back again soon!

[@jackandlill]

OMG - that front door is gorgeous!! Great to see you back !❣Just had to pause to comment - now back to the video - I can't wait to see what you have done w/the LR & the whole house....

[@MeganBell]

Thank you for saying so! ❤️

[@vibe2248]

This room looks really pretty clean & classic 😊. Love this.

[@peachytine220]

Have you thought about switching the leather couch and the chairs around? It could break up all the white from the view of door entrance and make the furniture look cohesive when standing in the room too.

[@debbiestott3651]

I love watching your video's Megan. The room looks fabulous and very family friendly.

[@MeganBell]

Thank you so much!

[@thatgirlnetty5308]

The molding looks great and I'm so glad your back on. I always love your visions Megan and I love what you've done to your new home. It looks beautiful I really love your style, you have such a good eye for design.

[@MeganBell]

[@Theonlylainayouknow]

That table next to the armchair is beautiful ❤ love the rug 👌

[@MeganBell]

Thank you!

[@SheilaMiller-od7qn]

Very nice home. How about adding short green variances to the top of the empty shelves? Just a thought.

[@Erin_Davenport]

Such a beautiful update! The pillows and all your collected items really give it even more character - and yes, that new couch!! 😍 One thing I’d be wanting to add for warmth and practicality too: 2+ lamps. Could fill in and bring some depth to the areas near the fireplace as well as give great ambiance in the evenings. Cheers and enjoy your new space and your family time! 🤍

[@tammiecurrie930]

[@MeganBell]

Thank you so much for being here! I actually have a highlight on my instagram with everything you might need to know. It’s called “box moulding” and my instagram is @meganbellmade ❤️

I love it

[@nicolang7577]

Hello! Where is the LR rug from? love it!

[@MeganBell]

Serena and Lily! Thank you! I'll add a link. It's 100% wool, super thick pile and so worth the money. Also has not gotten dirty over the years even with people walking on it with shoes and we had it in our entryway for a while. Kind of amazing.

[@nevisscot7697]

Where is the rug from.thanks .all fab

[@boonhaven]

Wait, you can fold the curtains for pleats? I love the pleats ❤ Did you do a tutorial?

[@MeganBell]

Thank you! And no, but it’s a super simple fold. And I googled it myself.

[@boonhaven]

@@MeganBell I was able to achieve the look. Thank you again for the inspiration.

[@reyalvarenga]

You should consider removing the doors to both of those rooms to open them up.

[@braedenalexander4744]

Where did you buy your area rug!? Love it. Sorry, my sons face and name on this acct🙄

[@vibe2248]

We have plaster walls & want to hang a mirror in our dining room. Do u have any suggestions on how to do that?

[@MeganBell]

Yes! Molly bolts! You can find them at any hardware store

[@Itsmyopinionboo]

What color is your home interior? So pretty ❤

[@MeganBell]

It’s white dove by Benjamin Moore 😍

[@Itsmyopinionboo]

@@MeganBell Thanks! Great Job, Megan. 😊

[@crazycatlady61]

You need a statement art piece above that brown couch and some more colour in the room, white can be nice but too much white and it starts to look bland, I think the curtains should have been a colour…just my opinion.

[@MeganBell]

I couldn’t agree more, Maggie. I started with some velvet forest green curtains and it felt a bit drab so i returned them and went with white. But I’ve since been debating doing maybe a taupe or camel colored curtain. I’d love to find a large piece of art to go over the couch, but as usual I’m on a bit of a budget. I hope to come across one on Facebook marketplace for a good price that fits the motif. Additionally, when I was “done” with the room I started thinking maybe I should paint everything a darker color. Decorating this house is a process and I thoroughly enjoy the process. I’m discovering new design elements all the time and simply sharing what I’m learning as I go. Thanks for being here!

[@aiai-j7i]

I think the leather couch would go well with a more English library feel, so maybe incorporate some dark green accents, brass and antique wood? @@MeganBell
