Need decorating tips for your living room? P. Allen Smith reveals the finished living room that doubles as the main dining area for the home. For the living room/dining room area, the design of the room itself was just as important as the decor. Beginning with exposed ceiling joists to create a sense of height and rustic charm, the farmhouse chic theme continues on for the walls, with their painted burlap finish and wainscot made from recycled cabinet doors. As the fireplace serves as a focal point on one end of the room and the dining table on the other, both sections of the room achieve a balance of comfort and utility. Benches, slipcovered sofas and chairs, and ladderback chairs around the table provide plenty of seating, while an armoire, corner shelf, and side table allow for a range of storage options. The entire floor is covered in a tan sisal rug which gives an elegant contrast to the deep brown of the painted pine floor.
