<p>Hi Friends, </p>



<p>Last week, I shared one of my favorite kitchen makeovers fro Jim and Johanna. Check it out <a href="https://funcycled.com/projects/our-largest-modern-farmhouse-kitchen-makeover/">here</a>! Today, we&#8217;re headed one room over to their living room makeover.</p>



<p>Here it is before: </p>

<p>A big change that we didn&#8217;t do the work on, but I love how it came out, was on the fireplace. They added oversized tile all the way up which anchors the space and distracts from the angled ceiling. </p>



<p>Our part of the project was repurposing the existing cabinets by adding shaker style trim to the doors, added a new top on one of the side where there was electric coming through, installed shiplap, and installed floating shelves. </p>



<p>Ready for the afters? </p>
