Linking up with View Along The Way
I'm also linking up with Gussy Sews for Inspiration Workshop!
For more of our home check out these posts: Entryway/Foyer, Master Bathroom, Guest Room
The inspiration for this post is our family room.
We don't live in a magazine. All of these photos are "as is."
Toys, children's books, train table and crooked frames are how we really live!
I'm surprised I didn't catch any furry wagging tails in these photos.
Our living room during remodel - Sept 2009
Wall color is Sherwin-Williams Techno Grey!!! (in all common rooms in our house).
It is a lot "taupier" than it appears in most of these photos.
Trim color is Sherwin-Williams Alabaster.
Our living room - Sept 2011
What I want: glass coffee table and
built-in bookshelves next to the exterior door.

Antique secretary from my friend's grandfather's antique/refinishing shop Recollections
What I want: new art for above the sofa
Framed prints from Z Gallerie

Collection of old and new family photos, wedding photos, framed wedding invitation, mirrors.
I didn't want matchy matchy frames so it's a mix of colors, textures and finishes.
Mirrors from Target - on clearance for about $10 each!
What I want: something different under the window...maybe bench or updated console
I may also add these drapes to match the throw pillows from (you guessed it) Home Decorators

ReplyDeleteBeautiful house. I love how you mixed the mirrors in with the frames! very classy!
ReplyDeletebeautiful! truly! and, seriously, if that's "as is", you don't want to see my family room right now. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments, ladies!
ReplyDeleteAnna - well, I did straighten the pillows...we only have 1 kiddo and we help him put everything away when he's done playing, so it keeps the toys/books craziness to a minimum! :)
Does the Techno gray have any green tint at all??
