Now on to the family room:

These listing photos show the family room as it was when we purchased the house and contain some of the previous owner's furniture. We ended up repainting the walls beige, the brick fireplace surround white, having carpet put in and swapped out the hanging light for a ceiling fan.

This photo is from right after we moved in. Tons of things had been completed but we still had to have plastic down to protect the carpeting. I like things neat and tidy, so for me it was a nightmare! Husband and kids were just happy to have a fireplace though 😁

And here are the after photos:

Because the family room opens into the craft studio, lots of light comes in throughout the day. Having the glass doors means I keep the studio picked up as well, since any mess can be seen. The curio cabinet we've had forever and I repainted it a few of years ago. Behind the couch you can kind of see a decorative piece of wood. That's the headboard from the crib that both of my children used. I repainted it white, added a Cricut decal in gold vinyl and positioned it behind the couch. The very first photo at the top of this post gives you a better look at the headboard.

The TV stand is a thrifted buffet that I refinished. The coffee table used to be darker oak and black wrought iron until I refinished that as well.

I opted to remove the doors from the small closet and put up a curtain instead. I like the softness of it and it makes it easier to grab extra blankets/ pillows and still have the chair there. The chair has a really dark fabric but the slipcover lightens it up nicely. I love furniture slipcovers because I can pull them off and run them through the laundry as needed. Since this photo was take I put a matching cover on the couch as well.

Here is a nice shot at night, just because I though it was cozy! The deer skull that you see in this room is named Herschel and below that is a cabinet where I display my faux snack foods. You can see inside the cabinet in this post.

And that's our family room.
