This is a little vinette in the new family room.
I have some fun before and afters of a difficult space that the homeowners have always seemed to have trouble with.
And it was a bit of a challange!
BEFORE
Here is a space next to the kitchen, with a lovely fireplace but no room to really enjoy sitting in front of it.
This is were they would watch TV as well.
AFTER
We changed this into the dining room. It seemed to work so much better.
BEFORE
AFTER
The three simple boxes that we hung above the table was the right scale and not to distracting.
Now the fireplace could really be a focal point.
We carried some blue accessories throughout the space to help tie it all together.
BEFORE
The bar was so high that they did not really ever use it.
So it was no problem moving the seating area.

We then created a nice conversation and TV watching space in the Family Room.
When you are standing in the kitchen this is the view that you get.
Notice how we added some lamps and the occasional chair.
The TV now has it's own little grouping that fits nicely on this wall.
BEFORE
The TV was in the bookshelf beside the bar.
AFTER
By adding the chair and ottoman next to the couch and placing a rug with the group it anchors the space together. Also notice the table with the lamp, which warms up the space.
See how the bookshelf can now be used more to tie into the kitchen dining area.
Accessorized with cookbooks and bowls of fruit.
The dining room now. Clean, simple and elegant!
The family room now. Warm, cozy and inviting.
Look around your home and see if there are any changes that you could make to improve your space!
It is so fun, can make such a difference, and will cost Nothing!!

We really transformed this space, see if you can tell what we did.
Here are a few before and afters, feel free to comment on the changes that you can see.

I am excited to start off the new year and show you
how you can totally change up a space by adding some FABRIC.
I know that I have been posting alot about this recently,
but I just have some wonderful photos to share with you all!
I had so much fun doing this dining room!
We decided that it really needed a little more personality,
and FABRIC is a wonderful wayto pull in color and style---
as well as soften a space.
BEFORE
AFTER
Can you believe how much personality this room just got!
(Don't you just love that unique light fixture --- I would really like to find one for myself!)
See how the color really adds to the room.
The fabric softens the sides of the windows and ties in with the runner on the table.
BEFORE
AFTER
When you coordinate stripes with a floral pattern
as long as they have the same colors, it works together nicely.
BEFORE
AFTER
See how nice FABRIC is!
The curtains really did add some personality and warmth to this dining room.
Now go add a little fabric to your house---
and it's personality will just Blossom!

This is my friends Dining Room . . . and I think it is so Cozy!What elements do you see that make it work?
Natural Elements: The green tree and the little flowers in the light fixture.
Everything does not match.Notice the chairs, the shape and styles
The surfaces in the room are painted black, red, yellow,
and wood stained.
Even the fabric is different.
Yet it feels good.
Lighting: The lamps really warm up the space as well as the light fixture over the table.Fabrics: The curtains and the runner on the buffet really soften the room. Also some of the chairs have fabric on the seats.
See what you can do to cozy up your Dining Room!
