Santa Delivers a New Family Room

Front Entrance to this charming vintage home

New heated stone floors, a new comfy slipcovered sectional and new leather chairs arrived in time for Christmas

Love these Aidan Grey lamps on the console behind the sofa

A collection of interesting artifacts covers the center of the mirrored console

new down pillows of cotton velvets and a great faux bois print are added to the textured linen sofa

a little bit of Asian influence in the perfect sized console for between the doors.
The tall zinc mirror emphasizes the new height of the ceiling.

Holiday Owl swag is perfect on the top for the season

find me nesting  at Romancing the Home

a big dough bowl of antlers, pine cones, moss balls and mercury balls dusted with snow

snow and little battery operated lights turn this everyday setting into a magical winter wonderland

faux amaryllis from the store really do fool the eye

oh my  - my favorite part of the room. Horns with perfectly real looking cedar garland
from Romancing the Home lit  with battery operated little white lights
over a new set of gas logs!

ready to party???

Debbie and Jim were ready for a new family room and called me to help.What started as a simple replacement of family room furniture, turned into a major re-model job.  We took the opportunity to add height to the room addition and dug out the old floor about 8 inches lower and added a heated stone floor.  The fireplace could then be converted to gas.  The entire room gained height and a better entrance to the outside terrace. Laurell worked her magic on the ceiling to create a weathered timber look.  While quite a project, the results were worth the hassle and wait.  We purchased a slipcovered sectional to be the center of the room- deep and luxurious seating- very very comfortable.  I love the quiet colors in the room. I think its the perfect setting to read, watch TV or just listen to music and watch the snow come down.  Yes- Debbie- there is a Santa Claus!
