My Clients’ Family Room Before & After
I’m so excited to share some of my professionally photographed work with you today!! There is such a difference between photos I’ve taken myself to photos that have been shot by a talented professional. (I love my photographer, Helen Norman!!!) The past year has been crazy for me with the birth of my third son, moving and a busy life in general so I’ve been really behind on having my finished projects photographed. As you can see from the “before” photo below, I first met with my clients over a year ago around Christmas time:

Their family room is just off of their kitchen and is a beautifully sunlit, large, happy-feeling space. My clients wanted a room that felt both relaxed & elegant. They needed the kids to be able to flop on the sofa and play, read or watch TV in the room, but they also wanted it to feel like an adult space too, where they could entertain and relax. My client’s style is warm and classic, she loves blues and soft colors, and wanted to get away from the reds and golds she’d had previously. When I presented my client with the design, I realized how receptive she was. (I’m not positive, but I don’t think we changed even a single element besides a discontinued lamp pair!) Here’s how the finished family room looks:
We replaced the wall-to-wall carpet with hardwood to match the rest of the home and added built-ins around the fireplace. (Work by CarrMichael Construction) The TV is mounted in a large cubby. My clients have a formal living room and since one of the main functions in the family room is TV-watching, we decided to keep it exposed. We had a seagrass rug custom cut to fit the room and layered it with a striped wool dhurrie. We had the built-ins lined in a blue grass cloth which really warmed up the room and is probably one of my favorite elements:
Like usual, we used a mix of metals to keep the family room feeling more collected and casual vs. perfectly matched.
Here’s a close-up of the built-ins:
Below is the view of the family room into the kitchen:
We couldn’t resist taking one of the photos with my client and one of her (completely adorable!!) daughters in the background. They’d gone into the kitchen for a cup of milk and it was too perfect. As you’ve probably noticed, one of the biggest changes was replacing the ceiling fan with an oversized lantern over the coffee table. When large pieces like a massive lantern go in, it can often be a bit of a shock to clients but they took it in stride.
Believe it or not, one of the most “off” elements in the room’s plan – which you’d never know now- is one of the pillows on the sofa. It’s a blockprint by Michael Smith with mustard-colored flowers. When you look at the fabric palette, it stands out as very “dirty” and orangey-yellow compared to everything else, but I felt we needed it to relax things a little and wander a bit off the palette. My client of course was surprised by it’s left-fieldedness but I asked her to “trust me” on this one, and I’m so glad she did because it’s one of her favorite fabrics in the room.
Here’s a view of the prints we hung, which feature oak leaves and are special to my clients because our area is filled with oak trees. The massive chair-and-a-half is one of the only good-looking chair-and-a-halves I’ve ever found because it looks a bit more like a settee and has slim elegant English arms. My client absolutely loves it. She’s commandeered the chair-and-a-half while the kids wrestle for the pair of ikat chairs in front of the windows. (above)
I hope you enjoyed getting a peek into my clients’ home and I’m so thankful to them for allowing me to help them. Here’s one last pic:
(Little House on the Prairie is playing on the TV, I’ve always wanted to have a picture taken of a project room with the TV on. 😉 😉
*The professional photos in this post were by Helen Norman and the others/ close-ups were taken by me on my iphone. (I’m mentioning this because I want you to know Helen took the perfect pictures and I took the bad ones. hahah)
