BEFORE AND AFTER: LEXAN FAMILY ROOM


 THIS YOUNG FAMILY OF FIVE WAS LOOKING TO UPGRADE 
THEIR OLDER FURNISHINGS FOR A NEWER BRIGHTER LOOK.
BUT THEY ARE ALSO HOUSE HUNTING!!!!
 AND NEEDED VERSATILE / NEUTRAL PIECES.....
AND WANTED THEIR HOUSE TO "SHOW" WELL.
MY OPINION?
WE NEEDED TO FILL THIS ROOM WITH LOTS OF SEATING!!!
THE MORE FURNITURE, THE BIGGER THE ROOM IS GOING TO FEEL!!!
WE OPTED AGAINST A NEW RUG....
AND AGAINST WINDOW TREATMENTS....
(THOSE 2 THINGS ARE TOUGHER TO TAKE ELSEWHERE!)

HERE ARE A COUPLE OF "BEFORE" SHOTS......


AND THE "AFTER" SHOTS!

FRONT DOOR: YAY OR NAY

WE NEED A BIGGER GARAGE!!!
but its not happening....
instead we need to build a shed and create
 better storage solutions in our existing garage. 
and since we need a new shed, why not use my 
plain glass (cheapo) front door on the new shed???!!!
which means..... i need a new front door-WAHOO!!! PROJECT!!!
i LOVE LOVE LOVE this door i found on pinterest.
 i actually saw it a couple of years ago and never stopped thinking about it!! 
here are our requirements:
-lots of glass (only one window in the living room and its north facing / dark room!
-stylish but can't complete with my railings
I WANT THIS DOOR!!!
so i took paper and tape.....
