Happy Tuesday!
I hope everyone had a nice relaxing weekend. Last week I shared with you the renovation to the Norris’s
Master Bathroom. Quite a drastic
change right?!? Well, today I am
going to show you the facelift we made to the place where they kick back and
relax: the Family Room and Kitchen.
The Family Room started off with gold walls, heavy furniture
pieces and cluttered accessories.
Although the room is large the oversized, dark furniture made it feel
quite cramped.
Other than wall décor and table accessories the only other
thing that needed updating in the Kitchen was the drapes. There is no dimension because the
panels and Roman shades are the same color and therefore come off very flat and
boring.
The first step of the room update was to change the wall
color in the Family Room so they were painted Sherwin Williams Accessible
Beige, which is a calming, neutral taupe.
For the furniture we opted for a large ivory sofa and chair with two
smaller gray accent chairs. As I
noted earlier the room is large so it needs substantial pieces, but since the
pieces we selected are lighter in color and less bulky in shape it helps to keep
the room from feeling small. And
the gray accent chairs add a nice pop of contrast.
On the wall with the media cabinet we removed the shelves
and hung mirrors on either side of the TV to add some weight to that long
wall. The patterned rug adds
movement to the space while also tying in all of the colors used. By simplifying the pillows and
accessories it makes for a more tranquil and organized space and was also a
great way to bring in the blue-gray color from the walls in the Kitchen.
Speaking of the Kitchen, we hung simple wood wall art and put
pitchers of fresh flowers on the table.
The Roman shades were exchanged for woven roll-up shades and the
original drapery panels for ivory velvet panels. They both add great texture and brightness to the room. So not a ton of changes made but just
enough to make a difference and make the room feel complete!
Here are the before and afters one more time so you can
really see the difference.
Family Room - before
Family Room - after
Kitchen - before
Kitchen - after
Do you think it was updated to a lighter, brighter and more
relaxing place to kick your feet up?
