If you missed yesterday’s post, Part One, click here to read the background story and see the Kitchen Transformation.

I hope you enjoyed yesterday’s post. Moving into the Family Room … this is the only picture I have to give you a feel of the “Before” look …

(This is sweet Chloe, who greeted me at the door every time I came over. She passed away this summer and it felt so sad not to have her there for Photoshoot Day.)

You can see a little bit of some of the previous elements … traditional furniture, rug, window treatments in shade of red, green, gold.

Here is the room today …

Such a transformation! We definitely lightened things up but with those tall ceilings and white walls I wanted to bring in some warmer-toned elements. Two-story rooms can be tricky, the architecture is beautiful but as a Family Room, you still want it to feel cozy.

One of my favorite features of this transformation was adding this beautiful wood paneling to the ceiling. And of course, this stunner of a Chandelier naturally draws the eye up. The existing skylights bring in lots of light.

Here is the view from the Kitchen …

While most of the pieces in this room are new, we were able to incorporate some things from the previous design.

We reupholstered this chair from the first picture that is oh-so-comfy and solidly built.

We painted this brown-stained wood Built-in a crisp white to match the trim, added new doors and hardware.

This gorgeous cabinet was not touched but we added a modern lamp, accessories, art, and mirror.

Layering art over a mirror is a favorite look of mine. This collage by Renee Bouchon is beautiful.

Speaking of art, let’s go back to this beautiful piece over the fireplace.

I shared a peek of this beauty on Instagram awhile ago. We commissioned it from Jennifer Daily and were able to really customize the colors we wanted.

The red brick fireplace was painted white and we added a reclaimed wood mantel.

All of the other furniture in this room was thoughtfully selected. My client previously had a matching sofa and loveseat and the layout worked well for TV viewing. But this time I suggested doing two different sofas. With sleeker arms, we could get more seating. When doing two different sofas in the same room, I like for them to be as different as possible. So … fabric+ leather, light+dark, bench cushion + three seater.

I love an eclectic mix of pillows – these are from Susan Connor and McGee and Co.

The coffee tables required thinking out of the box. A single coffee table, even some of the larger ones, was not working to fill this large space and serve booth sofas. I was worried it would feel too dinky. I suggested using two rectangular coffee tables and my client loved the idea. Not only are they functional, but there is even more space for styling all the fun and pretty things!

A few other favorite elements we added. This gorgeous wool rug from Loloi Rugs …

This adjustable height side table from Noir Furniture …

And of course, a room with these high ceilings and windows called for a tall tree. This beautiful Fiddle Leaf came from English Garden Flower Shop.

Ok, that’s all for today. Thank you again to Marina Storm of Picture Perfect Photography for her photography. Come back tomorrow to see the transformed Master Bedroom!
