FAB Family Room Before + After--Cozy AND Elevated

4/2/2023

Hello Beautiful!

Smells like Spring 🤩--and these darlings are showing their faces whether the snow’s gone or not!

I hope you’re feeling Spring Vibes, too--our brains naturally produce more dopamine at this time of year (the hormone triggered by new experiences)! 
~~~Contact me -  I would LOVE to know what feels fresh and fun for you this season~~~
(Plus, I miss you!!!! Just write to say hi, if you feel inspired.)

******************
Today, I would love to share a family room transformation with you--talk about a shot of freshness!

Living Rooms tend to feel a little more formal and Family Rooms  are spaces designed to feel more casual--they're family-friendly, accessible, and comfortable. But that doesn’t mean they have to feel dreary!!!!

BEFORE:

Challenges:
  • The beige and brown paint colors are earth energy and make the space feel very muddy and stuck 
  • The furniture, also in earth tones, is arranged to close off the room--creating a block to actually getting INTO the space-
  • Save for the small amount of orange paint, there is nothing High Chi to pull you into the Lower Level
  • The space has too much Earth energy and is tuned to a very low frequency
  • NOTHING about this space draws you into the room or encourages you to stay

AFTER:

UPGRADES:
  • We added a very vibrant olive paint color (Benjamin Moore--Forest Moss) to significantly raise the energy of the room--AND painted the soffits over the sofa all the same so those bump-outs are as disguised as possible.
  • We eliminated the blocking aspect of the furniture so now it’s EASY to get into this space--no appointment necessary
  • The sofa is also a sleeper-sofa which creates another guest space for this family
  • The Art--both the fox (greeting you as you come into the room) and the custom birch tree piece, the pillows, furniture and fabrics, console, lighting and accessories were chosen to substantially raise the energy of this space and attract you into the Lower Level to hang out, relax, watch movies or play.
  • The 5 elements (wood, earth, fire, water, metal) have been balanced--ONE of the reasons this space now feels so good!

This family is OVER the moon excited (!!!) about their transformation and this room gets used every single day:

“Our family room is where we gather for fun and connection - dance parties, gymnastics/ninja sessions, reading, movies and more.  We love how the furnishings, wall colors and art make this room feel--fun, cozy AND alive--we love it!”

Is there a space in your home that feels stagnant or tiresome? IF you have a project in mind and would like to contact me for a complimentary 20 minute phone call, just reply here and we can set up a time to chat!

Lots of Love,
XOXO
