Family Room

The family room has been one of our most challenging rooms to configure. It's an open space in the heart of our row-style home with tricky (but beautiful!) elements to work around like our fireplace mantle and larger than life pocket door openings. We've created a cozy vibe to kick our feet up with multifunctional furniture in neutral tones of grays, creams and browns.

Here you'll find the original room sources, ideas for how you can get the look and a peek back at how this space has evolved since we first moved in. Read on!

EVOLUTION OF THE FAMILY ROOM

After living with furniture we had on hand from our last house for 5 years, we made a few changes to the space, like removing an antique radiator and bringing in a few new pieces that fit the size of the room better.

• How we removed the antique radiator in our family room and the immediate difference it made in how we arranged the space.
• The DIY coffee table we made out of antique pallets.
• A look at how we style the family room mantle over the holidays.
• How we made the reclaimed wood photo holder we keep on our mantle year-round.
• The antique ladder we scored at a local alley sale and use to family room hold blankets.
• A look back at the first time we painted the family room and adjacent spaces.
