Room Reveals are my very favorite! It is just so fun to see an outdated, bland room come to life. Sometimes reveals are spectacular, with many elements brought together to bring change, including walls being knocked out, new flooring and lighting, and the list could go on. Other times, it is just simply some fresh paint and adding in all of your own decor and accessories to bring the room to life. Today, we are looking at the latter of the two.
**If you are just finding this blog for the first time or haven’t been following along for very long, I will give a brief rundown on what’s going on here. You see, we just moved out to our 20 acre farm so that we can build our dream home! In the meantime, we are living in a single wide mobile home; where I am turning this simple house into our home. To catch up, check out this post here.**
So, the living room in our home was like every other room- BLAND. It had zero character or appeal, but it had plenty of great space. Although we made a very large downsize, this room does not feel cramped at all for our family. By adding in my own furniture and decorative accents, along with a light gray paint color (Madeline Steps) on the wall, this room was COMPLETELY transformed! Folks, it doesn’t take a lot of money to make a simple house feel like a home. I hope I am able to really show you that in all of my posts for this home.

Here is a few聽BEFORE pictures as a reminder of what we came from!
As I have mentioned in previous posts, this home is being done on a TIGHT budget. Any money we put in will likely not be gotten back, so we are trying very hard to make this place look great and feel great for a little of nothing. We want all of our money to go towards our home, shop, land, etc… and not this place. BUT…despite the fact that my budget is limited, I am still working to make this home look the very best I can because it is MY home for now, and I want to feel happy in here!
So, check out our living room reveal!
I am still as in love with my RILEY sign as the day I made it! This is such an easy project that adds a real bit of eclectic fun to a space! See that full tutorial RIGHT HERE!
As you can see, color is my friend in this house! I wanted a FUN space! I wanted to feel happy and vibrant when I was in here, The space is so much smaller, and I just thought this look would really brighten up the space. Luckily, I had 98% of these items on hand already! The only thing I had to purchase for this home was the couch. Our other couch sold with our foreclosure home, so we didn’t have one anymore. The rest of the furniture was in different areas of our previous home, as well as all of the throw pillows and wall decor. You may remember most of the throw pillows from my Master Bedroom聽in our previous home, and the curtains from my office! The green chair was FREE from a friend who no longer wanted it. One of the legs had broken off, but I had my good buddy Shara from Woodshop Diaries repair that for me, and it is good as new. I love this vintage chair!
So- what do you think of this room makeover?! Do you love the pops of color? I can’t wait to show you what I am doing for Christmas. It is totally different than what I have done in the past, but it is going to look great in this room of color! It may surprise you 馃檪 **You can see the Christmas Tour Here!**

Brooke, it is perfectly pretty and totally you! I love every detail and all of that color!
Thank you, Kimm! I love the funky style here. When I build, I will not have quite this style, but it is really fun right now!
How did you get your stuff to stay on those trailer walls? I know those can be pretty crappy!!
I just used regular nails. I haven’t had any trouble at all 馃檪 the tv is not on the wall. We used 2x4s and attached to the Piece under it.
Brooke, you did a great job, it’s so pretty.
Thank you so much, Martha! I sure do appreciate that!
This looks incredible! I also love the color you painted the kitchen 馃檪
Thank you so much, Kati! 馃檪
Wow this is beautiful!!! I love your choice of colors and furniture. So cute and classy! My husband and I are considering buying a trailer and land up here in the Pacific Northwest because home prices are outrageous! Your post is so encouraging and inspiring!
Thank you so much, Kaylie! I am so glad this could inspire and encourage! That is EXACTLY what I want to do with this makeover!
Hey,looks great what color is in the kitchen and on the TV stand. Thx
The kitchen cabinets are called Mint to Be, but the TV stand was painted forever ago with some random sample I found at Lowes, mixed with another color. I truly have no idea what it was! I am sorry!
As my husband and I go through the foreclosure process with our house I have been inspired by you and no matter where hubby and I end up I know I can make it a home with very little money, so Thank You for the inspiration! Your home is absolutely beautiful!
i like your pictures of your mobile home and i would like to see more.
What color or colors did you use on the living ro9m walls?
Hi Brooke – I absolutely love your living room! So adorable! Can I ask what color you painted your tv cabinet? Turquoise is one of my favorite accent colors, and I’d love to use this color on future furniture re-dos. Thanks!!!
What you’ve done with a standard single-wide is phenomenal! I very much enjoyed the four different mobile homes I lived in–well, three of the four–and would like to live in one again. I like how you’ve made it so colorful without it being “circus-y,” and it’s easy to see that you probably have fun in it, if you’re still living in it. Very, very nice!
Your home really looks beautiful.I love all the color! Do you have advice on how to paint the walls?? I hear it is a bit more difficult for mobile homes. Also have you painted over any walls with a paper overlay??? We will be painting our beach house and we are a bit nervous. Thank you for your help!
Your site is amazing. I am a single mother of 2 teenagers living in a mobile. I am always trying to decorate & do renovations…..on the cheap. I follow you on Pinterest but can’t seem to find your board on your mobile transformations. Is there one?
Love this! We recently purchased a mobile home with wallpaper, was wondering if you printed over wallpaper?
If I have a small room I send pic in can u help Decorate it .. Or give me some simple ideas that I could do myself love how you did the mobile home I鈥檝e been working on this and just seem overwhelmed thank you for all your beautiful ideas you are awesome
I have a decorating group that you are welcome to join. I don’t have the time to be able to help everyone that sends me pictures, so I started this paid group to be able to focus on those in there to help them with their spaces! I also share budget ideas, have guests each month to teach a topic, etc.
Just go to my main menu to decorating on a dime if interested!
