WELCOME TO OUR FAMILY ROOM

When we moved into this house, we did not owned enough furniture to fill up every room.
This is one of the rooms that stayed empty for a long time.
We had our old family room furniture, which we set up in the game room upstairs and we took our time finding everything we wanted for our new space. The old living room set, serves now as a "hanging out" space for my teenage son and his friends. It worked out great! LOL

This is how the family room looked for many month after we moved into our new home




And this is the family room today






My favorite picture in the whole house. It came from Kirklands.



Another view of the room



One of the first things we did was to build the mantle



Love these ceramic pumpkins! Got them at Kohls a couple of years ago





Bought ceramic gas logs for the fireplace.




 This is the material I used for inspiration to design our family room. I always wanted to have pillows that matched the draperies, so I bough an extra panel and made pillows with it for the sofa and the hearth.
Can you tell green is my favorite color? :)






I found this beautiful Fleur de Lis jar set and put one on the coffee table and one on each of the side tables.
The colors were perfect for that room!



 Love these frames from Kirklands!






Also had to have another metal box. I am hooked on them!

Since our family room and kitchen are all open space, I carried these colors into the eating area and kitchen, to make it all flow together. 
I don't know if I will ever be done with this room. I still want a small table and lamp next to the single chair and some wall decor for either side of the fireplace. Still looking for the right pieces.


Hope you are having a great day!
