Designing for church family this past weekend was QUITE the honor! They wanted two rooms completed for easy entertaining. The Family TV room at the back of the home, and the front sitting room. I love that the “G Family” was so diligently using their front room. They explained that it was perfect for morning coffee, toddler performances, and Church Community Group gatherings.
Y’ALL. I love everyday casual design. It’s my fav. AND when THIS is the family’s list of favorite activities, it makes me so giddy to make something cozy!
So HERE is a before and AFTER field trip!

The family requests: Keep it simple. Lots of seating. Cozy is a must. Clean design.

AFTER: A BIG shout-out to the family for keeping costs down by performing some “homework” for me. The German Smear on the fireplace was part of the homework :)
AFTER: Big curtains, a massive curtain rod, and new groupings for the walls make things feel warmer.
AFTER: Lamps, end tables, chairs, pillows. Can we say family-friendly?
AFTER: I always use coupons and other local shopping to keep costs down. The ottoman ended up being a bonus for the family due to coupon shopping and staying on budget.

AFTER: These fresh apples came from the family’s own apple tree!

THE NEXT room was the family sitting room. The afternoon sun in this room is brilliant. No wonder it’s such a favorite spot.
Going to go ahead and apologize for the small “BEFORE” picture

AFTER PHOTO: I purchased new loveseats to support the room’s oblong shape. I opted for repositioning the loveseats at the end of the room. The existing love seat was able to be reused back in the TV room to add seating in all spaces.
AFTER: We used the couple’s existing coffee table and end table as well as lamps.
AFTER: This close knit vignette makes the room feel warm and textured.
AFTER: A Family collage wall was requested.

Hope ya’ll enjoyed the tour! LOVING doing all these living rooms lately. It’s so fun to use family touches, existing decor, as well as new pieces to bring family’s homes fresh comfort and exciting redesigns.
Love y’all!
