BEFORE AND AFTER: WATERFRONT FAMILY ROOM

I WAS SO EXCITED TO BE INVITED BACK TO THIS HOUSE TO DO SOME MORE REDECORATING-ONE OF MY VERY FAVORITE WATERFRONT HOMES IN NORFOLK!!!

YOU MAY REMEMBER WHEN I WAS HERE LAST YEAR FOR THE MASTER BEDROOM REDO.....http://lucywilliamsinteriordesign.blogspot.com/2012/03/before-and-after-waterfront-master.html

THIS TIME WE NEEDED TO FRESHEN UP THE FAMILY ROOM WITH NEW PILLOWS, COFFEE TABLE, AND MORE SUBSTANTIAL AND SUPER COMFORTABLE CLUB CHAIRS.

HERE ARE SOME BEFORES.....

AND THE AFTERS!!!

AFTER

BEFORE AND AFTER: GLENCOVE FAMILY ROOM

THE CHALLENGE: CREATING A KID FRIENDLY SPACE USING PALE  BLUES AND VIBRANT GREENS AND INCORPORATING AN ATTRACTIVE DESK SPACE THAT DOESN'T SCREAM "UGLY COMPUTER!!!"

THE HOMEOWNERS NEUTRAL PALETTE WAS IDEAL FOR ADDING THE SPLASHES OF COLOR. WE DECIDED THE ART AND THE ACCESSORIES WOULD ACCOMPLISH THAT!! WE NEEDED TO REALLY ANCHOR THE SOFA WITH END TABLES AND A PAIR OF LAMPS. AND THINKING WOVEN WOOD SHADES WOULD REALLY WARM UP THE SPACE......THE ROOM NEEDS A MIRROR TOO......HMMMMMMM...........

BEFORE

AFTER

 MY SWEET CUSTOMERS WERE KIND ENOUGH TO TRUST ME TO PAINT THE PAIR OF ABSTRACT PAINTINGS ABOVE THE SOFA

LOVE LOVE LOVE THE ART BOXED IN ACRYLIC!!!

KINDA OBSESSED WITH THIS 42" ROUND MIRROR.....

LOVIN THE FLANGE!
