Joy Cho plans for her new living room.

Oh Joy! and Clever are teaming up to show you what it's really like to build a house from the ground up .

I'm back with another house update! I'm excited to show you a peek at what we're working on for our living room. It's been so fun collaborating with Cleo and her team at Project M+ on our interiors. Together, we've created some really beautiful rooms that I can't wait to watch come to life!

Our living room mixes rich and bright tones with wood, white, black, and brass. I'm calling the current inspiration "a peacock at sunset" with the bluish-green velvet couch and accents of color in coral, mustard, and pale pink. It's meant to be cozy yet chic.

We have a few fun details that are coming to life that I can share progress with you on....

Shown: 1. Perigold desk chair, 2. Interior Define Charley Sleeper Sectional in Malachite velvet with Lulu and Georgia Sunset Pillows, 3. Modshop credenza, 4. Clare Classic paint, 5. Lulu and Georgia side table, 6. Justina Blakeney chair, 7. Sarah Sherman Samuel for Lulu and Georgia rug, 8. Lulu and Georgia coffee table, 9. Mohawk wood floors in Beachwood Oak.

A Light Well! One side of the house is filled with large windows. And the other side is built into the hill where we can't have any windows. So our architects at Project M+ created light wells built into a couple areas of the house (like the living room). The light wells allow light to come in from the top down in a similar way that a skylight brings light in. It's a really beautiful detail that I've never seen before! We'll likely put a big, beautiful plant in this one.

Wood ceiling! To make this room feel extra cozy, it's been paneled with a wood ceiling that's a shade lighter than the floor. This was the first area of the house to get wood paneling (before the floors) so I love to look up at it already.
