Family Room Progress


The building of a room design takes time.  I never thought it would take 20 years, but then we get 'numb' to our own punch list sometimes as we are working overtime to be inspired and work on the interiors of others.

My family room is getting there, slowly but surely.  I am not in a hurry to fill it up with furnishings just to have something to sit on.  I have done that many times in my life, and this time I'm savoring the process and taking my time.

my son Michael blending the old with the new the hardwoods:


 and a clean slate. (ahhhhhhhh)





My first order of business is a 9 x 12' rug.  I have looked at a million rugs online and locally, hoping to take advantage of President's Day sales, but no luck so far.

Hope you have a day off today and are finding some good sales!

    That looks AMAZING. I used to think lamps were the hardest part of any room. Now I've convinced it's rugs. Good luck!
