Back at the house, Emily and her team begin to transform the living room. They start by painting the room a warm, neutral color and adding curtains to the windows to give the room a calming feel. Emily chooses a mid-century modern sofa and globe-shaped light fixtures that add a modern touch to the space. The couple's existing furniture pieces are reupholstered, and accessories are added to create a rustic feel. Emily brings in pops of color with a vintage-inspired rug and accent pillows.
