So yeah, I decided to take the challenge to complete a room in six weeks even though I haven’t even finished the playroom which I started about two years ago. Funny, huh? Anyhow, on to the chosen room for the challenge….drumroll please…..
The Family Room
This room is long overdue. It’s had five different paint colors on it for at least a year waiting for me to make a decision and find the time to repaint it. Yup, I’m good like that. I wrote about a family room refresh way back here and went over some of my issues with it. Here’s the gist of it…
BROWN – lots of it! Needs to be broken up. Really that’s the main issue that will be the driving force behind all the changes.
The Plan of Attack
- Lots of painting!
Some Inspiration
One of Emily Henderson’s favorite grays will replace the baby blue walls.
Hoping my TV wall will look something like Emily Clark’s awesomeness…if I’m lucky.

Want to lighten things up by painting the existing bookcases white with a dark back like Jennifer’s. Absolutely love this look!

And on my to do list for a while now is to add a long time favorite of mine – the layered bamboo and curtain treatment like Lauren Liess.
