Family Room Reveal

Posted by — 6 Comments

Last month, I finished painting and organizing the family room. Since finishing this project, I have taken on a few other things, and completely forgot to post photos for you to see our freshly painted room.

The original color was a very peachy tan as you can see here:

After painting some swatches of a few variations of soft gray on the walls, we made the decision and went with Behr’s Barnished Clay in a flat finish. It is soft, neutral, and is almost warm. This is a color that we used in both bathrooms, and while I did want to try something different, sometimes you have to stick with what you know you like.

 

Here is another before:

 

Here is the after:

 

Once we finished painting, we completed the furniture switch, we sorted the toys, and created a better play area for the kids.

 

I also moved the craft table. Having it near the ledge near the stairs allows us to store buckets of crayons, coloring books and supplies.

Finally I created little area near the fire place for reading stories and set up Coco’s dollhouse for her to have a separate place for her to play on her own.

 

I am really loving it! Now that my family room is less peach and more gray, I can focus on doing a teeny bit more sprucing. I’m hoping to add a extra large ottomon for kicking up and watching movies, hiding the cords for the TV, and perhaps slipcovering the couch near the fire place.Anyone else finish a paint project or move around some furniture?

  1. We just moved a ton of furniture and we have GRAND PLANS for the entire first floor this spring and summer. Once the show is over, that is. you can come help me paint, yes? Apparently my husband has lots of traveling this spring, so lots of late nights drinking wine on my own. Paintbrush in hand? Could be. Some of my best remodeling is done late at night while intoxicated.
