My Family Room

My Christmas decorations were put away, and the sun came out (unfortunately a rarity here in January).  My family room was clean, so I ran for the camera!  I’ve shared this room before, but I thought I’d share it in a little more detail.

I’ve done little accessory changes, but the only major change is that I painted over the stripes on the fireplace.  It was fun for a while, but I needed the space to be a little more calming.

On the outside wall that connects the kitchen to my family room, I have my bed turned bench that I painted with chalk paint.  If you want to see more about this project, you can click HERE.

Across from the bench, I have a clock hanging on the wall between the kitchen and family.  A friend of mine had one, and I loved it so much I bought one.  I bought it at Pottery Barn a couple of years ago.  It’s awesome because it’s double-sided – you can read the time from the couch or kitchen!

I always decorate my fireplace with complete symmetry.  I just can’t help myself.

I loved preserved boxwood because they add a touch of life, but they require almost no maintenance (Just a little misting once a month).

Yes, I painted my firewood.  We used the fireplace last winter, but I almost hate to this year because I love how pretty it looks.  You can see more about this painted firewood HERE.

I added a little sitting area to the right of the fireplace.  That table was a $5 garage sale find, and I love that it holds magazines.

If I didn’t have three boys living in my house, I’d be tempted to decorate in all tufts and ruffles.

I stenciled the walls and you can see more HERE.  The frames are from Target, (the framed) fabric remnants were some I had on hand, and the dictionary clip art is from Etsy.

My current coffee table is an old chicken coop.  I love this piece, but it’s too small for the space.  I currently have a coffee table ordered, but I won’t see it for several more weeks.

The coop was a flea market find that I had to have but can’t find the perfect home for…

My yellow piano sits on the wall that separates the room from the kitchen.  You can see more on how I painted the piano HERE.

The keys may be chipped, but I still love this piano…

I found this George Washington (plastic) bust at a flea market and painted him green.  I love pretty books and the cool clock was an Anthropologie after Christmas sale find.

The room is painted in my favorite neutral from Valspar: Cincinnatian Hotel Briggs Beige.  I love its warmth. Go create something!
