| New pillows and artwork in the soon-to-be-painted family room |
When we added all the beautiful aquas in my friend's living room this summer I felt it was important to bring the new color scheme into the family room that is adjacent to it. The family room was done a few (maybe longer!) years ago and at that time we upholstered the large sectional in a dark blue - almost navy. We used pillows in reds and whites and put down a wool rug in the same blues and reds. Her room has a lot of oak and dated wallpaper and it is time for that to go. The plan is to remove the wallpaper and paint both the walls and the heavy oak woodwork (and fireplace) white. Can you tell I am smiling?
So while we were selecting fabrics for pillows in the new living room we chose a few for the family room as well. I happened upon this bright and happy artwork one day and knew it was the perfect piece to tie everything together!
I love how the pillows help the room tie in with the living room and I can't wait to see the room painted and complete.
We knew the wallpaper needed to go. Besides that, is a small room and putting too much on the walls closes it in even more. My client friend found a photo of a room she liked that had wainscoting about 3/4 of the way up the wall. I liked the clean look and felt it would give the room a nice architectural detail without having to put a lot of art the walls. I don't remember where this photo came from but this is what she liked:
The wall treatment reminded her of the combed plywood she has on her fireplace wall in the living room:
We tried to find the same treatment but ended up settling for a more simple beadboard look:
I also love how all three rooms work together so well now...
And I'm loving these colors!
