Our Family Room Post-Construction Reveal

I know… I know… You have already seen a sneak peek of our family room furnished on social media so you aren’t exactly dying to see it unfurnished BUT it will come. In due time. Once I am no longer helping my hubby put on his underwear (post ACL surgery) #kiddingnotkidding. I am trying to share everything in stages and in reveals and this is the reveal of our COMPLETED (construction wise) family room!

Our family room… the room that was originally the kitchen… the room that we weren’t exactly sure WHAT to do with… the room that literally evolved from my desire request preference adamance “over my dead body will we have the television over the fireplace!!!” in our living room. If you’ve followed me for a while you may remember our “Mantle Wars” in our previous home. This time there were no wars. It was me or the TV ;-). Hehe. No really though our living room fireplace is waaaay too beautiful for a dang black box that we never even watch. Because here’s the thing… we never watch TV. And I honestly didn’t even really realize it until we lived in our rental home. We turned the TV on like twice. And then after we moved in here, we went two weeks without turning it on even once. I swear we turned it on out of habit at our last home. For background noise or something. Mark and I LOVE to get hooked on a series and watch it every evening but life was too busy for that for a while and then the girls would rather play Legos, make messy artwork and fight than watch tv. LOL. Red wine is my truth serum and I just finished a glass tonight. Taking care of two kids, a crippled (ACL surgery) hubby, the house and the dog for seven days and four hours (but hey who’s counting?) calls for a glass or two or the bottle.

So ANYWAYS, we I decided to make this room our family room. A cozy space with the blue velvet sectional we kept from our previous home. One of only five items we kept. Literally. Because I am OBSESSED with that sofa. And you will be too when I reveal that room soon. And we LOOOOVE this room. We play in the main living room during the day and evening while I (or Mark) cook dinner and then we snuggle in the family room at night.

So here’s the BEFORE…

Our Historic Wonderland 15DOur Historic Wonderland 13D

So here’s what we did…

1. First, we removed the original dumbwaiter and pantry area and created an arched doorway to the new mud room.

2. We re-ran all electrical, all HVAC and restored the original windows.

3. Spray foam insulation.

4. Sheetrock.

5. We installed beautiful thick molding on the baseboards, crown and windows! Read more about that HERE… “Trim, Ceilings and Moldings Oh My!“

6. Paint! Read more about that HERE… “Paint, Paint and More Paint…“

    Looks amazing! I tried to order the same floors that you used through Floor and Decor but the name that you listed is not the same product that they sent me as a sample. Do you know if the floors you used have been discontinued? The Drift Oak Timberclick is more of a pieced together light butcher block where as yours look like a lovely whitewash. Any advice you can send my way would be much appreciated 🙂

    Did you order your windows in the black or did you have to paint them before installation?

    When will we see more photos of the finished space? I bought the same pendant for our 1929 bungalow and, it hasn’t arrived yet, but I was starting to doubt my decision. Then I ran across your blog and it was great to see it in a room with light gray walls (like mine) in a craftsman style home (kinda like mine). I’d love to see the rest of this room!!!

    What color did you use on the ceiling? I’m trying to decide if I want the ceiling to match the trim or walls.

    Hi,

    I am having a home built and thinking about gossamer veil
    as my wall color. My kitchen cabinets are going to be white and
    the island a navy blue. Open floor plan with the family room. Haven’t picked out granite yet. Floors are a brownish/gray lvp. Do you think this is a good match? I am not good at all with picking out colors.

    Thx

Never thought we’d actually use our front porch Never thought we’d actually use our front porch but we most definitely LIVE in every square inch of our home including our front porch 💗 It’s a late night, wine sipping fave for John and I so it always feels good when it’s all fresh and clean. Finally decided to go dark and washable on the rug after replacement number fifty 🤦🏻‍♀️🤪 Add in lots of pretty new plants courtesy of John and fun new pillows courtesy of me 😉 and we are back in front porch action! Linking it all here…

This full length mirror, pouf and ladder setup was the winner and my personal fave. Here's a peek at how it all came together and also take a peek at the Creative Co-Op brand store on Amazon for more decor like this!
I’ve had this image pinned for YEARS NOW! And af I’ve had this image pinned for YEARS NOW! And after finally finding and then whitewashing two tables at an antique store a few months back, I decided to bring my inspo to life! And dust off quite a few of John’s things as well from his architecture books to his dad’s antique rail car lantern along with some of our travel finds to make it OURS. I’ve never loved a tv console more 💗💗💗
How does that saying go... “Curtains are a girl' How does that saying go... “Curtains are a girl's best friend?? 🤣💗 I cannot say enough great things about how the windows turned out in my bathroom thanks to @calicocorners. I
searched high and low for the perfect window treatments in this space and I wish I would have known how easy it was to order from Calico's quick ship program earlier!  Oh and also, I don't have to take a shower in the dark anymore to spare the neighbors 😅😂

The most satisfying project EVERRRR 💗 #ad When The most satisfying project EVERRRR 💗 #ad When I opened the girl’s “art closet” last week to find a piece of luggage, I think the entire closet almost came tumbling down on top of me 🤦🏻‍♀️ With school starting next week, rather than imploding, I decided to get my girlies to help with a few organizational projects with the help of the CUTEST new Home Edit organizational finds at @walmart Winnie and I got to work yesterday and I think I’ve now peeked inside the completed closet no less than ten times already to relish in the beauty of the labeled bins 😉 Oh and I also detailed sizes for each bin in this video to visually help you with all of the online options. Sharing everything I used in this project right here… #Walmart #WalmartHome
