""We did one small project at a time as life with five kiddos and budget allowed," Sarah says. They brightened and modernized the room by painting the walls and fireplace white (Benjamin Moore's White Dove) and added black paint (Behr's Black Suede) on either side of the fireplace for a touch of the modern moodiness that Sarah loves."
""We used sheets of MDF to cut strips for the 'shiplap' and nickels to space them," Sarah says. "The hardest part was maneuvering two ladders on either side so we could both hold the pieces up and nail them while keeping them level.""
Creating a living room can be challenging, but inspiration boards and phrases can clarify design choices. Sarah Bolton's phrase, "modern vintage," reflects her style of blending vintage furniture with modern elements. Her 1990s living room needed an update to match this vibe, prompting her and her husband to start renovations. They painted the walls and fireplace white, adding black accents for contrast. The fireplace renovation involved removing the old mantel and installing faux shiplap, requiring patience and teamwork.
