Family Room Sneak Peeks

The Family Room has made MAJOR strides since we have moved in. It is probably the most changed room in the house with the change in the mantle and the top to bottom paint job. just to remind you where we started here are some before shots.

i am still putting the finishing touches on this space (and Christmas Decorations) so I don't have any wide shots to share, but I do have some detail shots!

*this picture (above) is probably the best representation of the paint color in real life. I feel it has the perfect balance of navy and gray tones. i did not want anything too saturated or too black/gray. it is the perfect mix! Cavalry by Porter.

Family Room Update

when we bought our house I thought the family room would be the last room we would paint for several reasons. the color was pretty neutral so i thought i could live with it for awhile, the walls were in good shape, and the room has cathedral ceilings so i knew it would be a huge task.

well things didn't really work out like i had thought. when they painted the room they got the wall color all over the trim work and it was driving me nuts. also, when we planked over top of the mantle and i started painting it, i found myself beginning to paint the trim work, and next thing i knew i had paint swatches hanging on the walls......

well one thing led to another and now we have a brand new painted family room! i am loving it so much - photos to come, but here is a sneak peek!

YEP - it's NAVY!

here are some inspiration images for the space.

so as you can see there will be neutral tones with pops of pink, gold, and yellow in the space - oh and black and white of course. also bringing lots of live plants into the space, as this room has the most natural light in our house.

i will reveal the final space as well as the mantle VERY soon! i also have a DIY project, or two coming up in this space!
