The Living Room BEFORE
Hi There, it's Daniel and Valeria from
Hindsvik Shop! This week we'd like to share one of our recent home renovation projects: our living room makeover!

With a little paint, wood and color, we've managed to turn our living room into a modern and comfortable space that fits our mix of vintage and modern decor pieces.

Beautiful space! You're a very talented duo. Love your shelving units. The white floor completely perked everything up. Great mix of details too.
We had white wood floors in the apartment I grew up in. I love white floors. When is it okay to paint the floors of an apartment that you rent?
Hi everyone! Thanks for the kind words!
My name is ish - We own our home so it depends on the apartment - you basically have to ask your landlord to see if it's okay. Or convince them it will look better! ;)
that little key holder is adorable.
The white floors are so lovely- makes the whole home so fresh looking. I love all of the furniture and styling as well- gorgeous space!
What a fresh and clean space. I esp. love the hand made bookshelf and the painted floor. We painted our living room floor a few years ago and have been so happy with it. Lovely!
shudders and gasps, perhaps you should have moved into a brand new souless loft, instead of destroying the historic characteristics of your charming home.
Anon - what character are you referring to? Our home was built in the 1940's and had a lot of bad "updates" before we had moved in. Actually we stripped the carpets to reveal the flooring underneath and uncovered a lot of other original elements of the home.
White floors may not be your thing but I can assure you we have stripped the home of it's 80's updates and it has more character now than it ever did! :)
what a lovely difference white paint makes. i'm in awe...love it! happy halloween.
Love love LOVE this. And I recognize the couch. We have (and love) the same one. ;-)
I LOVE the pipe & wood shelving unit. I saved a couple of those pics a while back for inspiration and then came across this post again today. Not surprisingly, I still love the idea and we're thinking about trying something like that ourselves! I was wondering if you would be able to do another blog entry or something going into a little more detail for those of us that may want to tackle a project like that ourselves. Great work!
