Hello Friends!
I’m so excited to share my living room makeover reveal with you all today! This project is the last big part of our home remodel and I’m absolutely thrilled with how it all turned out! As soon as my husband and I moved into our “new to us” house a few years ago, I immediately envisioned a chic living room space that would be the focal point for our home and would be the perfect warm & inviting space for years to come. Our home had amazing bones but needed a lot of updating to make it into our dream home. I’m so thrilled we are finally done with renovating!
From removing tile floors to tearing out a free-standing fire place, this renovation was definitely a large undertaking. Once my husband and I decided on our goal aesthetic for the space I immediately reached out to fabulous Micah Abbananto, owner of Micah & Co to help make our dream a reality! She is immensely talented and helped me step by step through the remodel project and into the decorating stages with such ease. I truly couldn’t have made any of this happen without her immense attention to detail and incredible talent. You all will LOVE working with her! Stay tuned for the end of this post for more details about Micah and her talented team!
Now that you’ve seen the amazing reveal thanks to Micah Abbananto, I thought it would be fun to show you all the before of our remodel and design project. It’s still so crazy to look back at the before photos and to truly see how far our living room has come!
Before & After!
Here is our home at purchase {it’s about 25 years old}. As you can see we had our work cut out for us.
Here is once we started demo once we purchased the house. The fireplace was off center and visible as soon as you walked in the front door. Thankfully it was not load bearing so it was an easy decision to take it out. Removing it opened up the space so much!
This picture was just after the large grey tile was torn out along the whole first floor. We replaced the flooring with Provenza handwork in Ash. I absolutely love that it’s on trend and bright but still provides warmth to the space.
Here is a look at the first stages of the remodel that included adding arched insets and a new fireplace as the focal point.
We also had the castone fireplace surround made custom here in Oklahoma City. I love how it dresses up the space and adds the perfect touch of relaxed sophistication.
The final reveal!
As mentioned above, it’s been a dream to work with Micah on my living room remodel project! I wanted to take a few minutes to share about her business as well as her passion for design!

Additional Project Recognition:
I want to give special thanks to the incredibly talented Haleigh Kenney, owner of XO by Haleigh Kenney. She created the most exquisite floral arrangement for our living room reveal. It truly added the perfect touch of subtle glam and I couldn’t be more happy with it. If you all are looking for a floral designer for a wedding or special event, you most definitely have to reach out to Haleigh! Everything she creates is perfection!
I also want to give a special thanks to Kennon Bryce Photography for the incredible photos of the living room reveal! He is truly so talented! I so appreciate his attention to detail and working so hard to make sure these photos turned out perfectly. He also photographed my new dining room space which I can’t wait to share on our blog later this week! You can find more of Kennon’s work on his instagram account here and on his website.

No room reveal is complete without the perfect outfit that coordinates! As soon as Whitney and I saw these stunning dresses at Anthropologie we knew they’d be the perfect thing for today’s photos. They would be such a great option for Thanksgiving, holiday events and family photos too! The Somerset style comes in lots of additional colors too and runs true to size.
