This house is located in a neighborhood designed to look like Charleston, South Carolina. The decorating updates I’m sharing with you were affordable and made a huge impact.

Design Inspiration for Breakfast Nook and Living Room Updates
My interior design style is a combination of coastal chic meets French country. Inspired by my life-changing travel to Europe and several years living on the Atlantic Ocean of New England.
Breakfast Nook Before and After
- Paint Color: Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter
- Antique Silver Curtain Rods
- Linen Curtains: IKEA
- 5-Piece Round Dining Set for 4
- Velvet Chair Cushions
- White Beaded Chandelier
The curtain rods are from Amazon at an awesome price! We have used them throughout our home. The chair cushions and beaded chandelier are from World Market. *Update 4/4/2023: The white beaded chandelier is no longer at World Market. I’ve organized my favorites found on Amazon.
1. Bohemia Mini Chandelier 2. French Country Pendant 3. Tiered Draped Bead Flush Mount 4. Beaded Farmhouse Chandelier 5. Boho Beaded Ceiling Light
Living Room Updates Before and AFter
- Paint color: Revere Pewter
- Antique silver curtain rod: Amazon
- White linen curtain panels: IKEA
- Silver ceiling fan light fixture: this ceiling fan is remote controlled and super quiet. It can be paired with rustic, cottage chic, modern farmhouse or contemporary interior design.
Magnolia Market Inspiration
The largest change in this room was the light fixture. My inspiration came from The Flip House: Episode 15 – The Giraffe House via Magnolia Market.
I liked that Joanna’s room had multiple fixture and décor finishes in a room with neutral color palettes. My living room has black, silver, gold and wood grains (just like hers!). I scoured the web looking for that ceiling fan with remote and feel I found the exact match (if not, extremely close)!
I’m so excited about the changes we are making to this house. We met our goal of keeping our upgrades to a minimum. Nothing fancy. Each investment added a timeless value to the home. What house projects are you working on?
