Most of us know Kellie Brown as an interior designer and content creator, but she also happens to be a big sister—a title she took very seriously when her sibling asked if she’d help update her Philadelphia living room. “My sister was one of those smart people who saved up to buy a house early instead of renting, so she’s lived there for a little over a decade,” Brown shares. The problem was, “She decorated the living room once, and then never again.”
Brown wasn’t afraid to be honest with her sister, who she describes as a “gentle soul.” She started by addressing the room’s millennial gray palette, doing her best to drop hints that maybe it was time for a change. Before she knew it, she mocked up a fresh design, all the while letting her sibling know that she had her back. “She’s my favorite person, and I deeply respect her,” Brown says. “I told her we could make this better, and I also told her that I can’t shoot content in her home if it stays like this.” Here’s how they teamed up and reimagined the space over the course of a few days.
