During all of the built-in construction (see part 1, part 2, the room reveal and the design details), I found myself saying over and over “I can’t wait to get my hands on the shelves!”  They were begging for some styling and I was itching to bring some color and character into the room.

My goodness, thank you for all of your kind responses about the family room yesterday here and on social media!  I’m always so humbled by the kindness of readers/viewers and feel so lucky to get to share my crazy ideas with all of you. Today I wanted to talk a few family room details and […]
