“Before” Family Room
It really feels like spring is here to stay and summer is on its way. Today, I brought out the blue mason jars, a few flowers and twinkling lights to add to my family room. I also added a splash of blue and it feels fresh and summery! I took quite a few pics to share, so please excuse me. I was having fun with my camera! The “before” pics above were taken when we moved in and started working on the room. While my husband worked on installing new floors, I WHITEWASHED the brick and posted about it HERE. The whole room, except our sofa and chair, is decorated with my THRIFT STORE FINDS.
The walls remain in Benjamin Moore Guilford Green and the furniture is all the same. I’m still waiting for that gray sofa to magically make its way into my budget 🙂 I love this time of year with the flowers out and the bugs still not out. It gets so hot here in July and August so the next few months are really it for gardening. This year, I’m planning on building a veggie garden in our backyard and I’ll keep you posted as it progresses 🙂 For now its great to look outside and see the color and my peony bush starting to grow!

It looks like a lovely and relaxing place to be 🙂 Wishing that gray couch your way! Thanks for linking up to Friday’s Furniture Fix!
Looks very welcoming and happy. Living in the Baltimore area I agree with the gardening season. I’m sure you’ll have fun with your garden.
LOVE LOVE LOVE your new painted space! Absolutely gorgeous! What a breath of fresh air! Most inspiring! Thank you for sharing!
Hi Rocki – thank you so much!
Many likes for what you did. I think I would paint the fireplace screen a silver color.
was ur floor concrete before u added the wood floor on top? if so plz email me what u used on top of concrete before u added wood flooring. [email protected]
Hi Angie, I tried you email but it came back as undeliverable. I hope you get this..Our floor is on top of a concrete slab. We used engineered hardwood from Home Depot and first placed a red plastic barrier on top of the concrete that is meant for this. It is plastic and one side has some type of insulation attached. It was also from Home Depot. It worked out really well and we haven’t had any issues.
BTW, I am curious about one thing and really hope you can help me! I have had over 10,000 views of this post in the past day. I am wondering where the viewers are coming from and can’t seem to find it. Can you possibly email me back with how you found the post? What site is featuring it?
Thanks so much! I would really appreciate having this mystery solved! I can ask my husband what the exact name of the flooring is and let you know.
