Drab to Fab

It's amazing how far fresh paint, a few yards of fabric, and some smart ideas will go to spruce up a room. To revamp your own living room, start with a fabric you love. Select a favorite hue from it to paint on the walls. Pull out an additional color to use as an accent. When dealing with a bold pattern such as this one, it's best to use it throughout the room to get the print's full effect. Give your mantel special attention.
