First Project - Family Room

Before
It was the former owner's twelve-year-old daughter's room. It was cute for a pre-teen, but not a family room.
After - We (finally) finished painting on April 7th!
New "Quite Red" paint color with fresh white trim. Black & white panel curtains, that my mother & I sewed together. We have not added any new furniture, but we probably will not. We are thinking about having slipcovers made for the sofa and arm chair. We do need to find a coffee table, but we are still searching for the right one.

We also use the room as an office area as well as the family room. It's in a nice location, right off the kitchen. It is a nice place to relax after work & watch TV.

We are looking for suggestions for this room. It is our first completed project in the house. I really feel like this room will set the tone for the rest of the house--it reflects our style more than any other room in the house.

After staging & preparing our house in Tuscaloosa for the real estate market, I think I could start a staging business. I know homes that are for sale in this economy & market could really use the extra boost that staging could give it. If you are interested in staging your home, I would like the opportunity to get my feet wet in the business. I did sale our house in Tuscaloosa in 12 days after we put it on the market.

I think we have decided on finishing this room in the next month & then beginning on the master suite. Before pictures coming soon.
