Transcript
I just found the largest tapestry I've ever seen, and we're making some big changes to my living room. Welcome back to the Great Hall Makeover. Just recently, I made this doorframe from scratch, which you guys absolutely love, And today, we're really switching things up. I really want my home to feel lived in, almost like an artist loft filled with arts, sculptures, and antique. So when I saw this nineteen twenties Georgian sofa from curated Yes, I knew it was exactly what I was missing. I said goodbye to tier sofa and hello to my beautiful antique sofa. It came all the way from Chicago and found its new home in LA. The combination of burl wood and velvet is stunning, and it has the same feeling as the sofas for my inspo. But what is desperately missing from my living room is art, and I found the largest antique tapestry for $200. And it also came with this metal chain and and accent. I did some research on how to hang tapestries and learned that museums actually use Velcro and a piece of wood to hang them. This method provides an equal weight distribution, which helps preserve the tapestries. So I added a piece of Velcro to the wood and the tapestry and then hung it up. I then added the chain, and it took it to a whole another level. I've been collecting art for the last few months, and I feel like these would go perfectly here. This one is a charcoal drawing from an Italian artist, and this one is a vintage oil painting. And this art collection that my friend Arvin released. And this is when I really started seeing my lived in vision coming to life. The sofa and the art add so much character, and my living room really is becoming a great hall. I still have so many ideas for this room, so make sure to follow and stay tuned.
