I'm so happy to share today's post that's 6 years in the making. Take a tour of our family's home office complete with a custom desk build, updated wall color and textured basket storage. Scroll to the bottom of the post to find resources from this room tour! First let's take a glimpse of what our foyer and home office used to look like 6 years ago (and stayed that way for a few years): As mentioned in my rookie home decorating mistakes post, we were naive home owners and this was also one of those rooms where we tried to match the paint color that was already there instead of choosing our own. Yes, we kept that ugly pinky/taupey color the previous owners used! We just didn't seem to get the concept that this was our home and we could do whatever we wanted with it! The office area was furnished with whatever items we already had in our apartment or picked up cheap (hello, Ikea, I still ... Continue Reading...

Family Theater Room Reveal (GUEST POST)

Basement and garage, Home Decor & Landscaping

Comfy and Cozy Family Theater Room reveal | spotofteadesigns.com

Long time readers may remember my brother-in-law has been actively completing lots of room makeovers and updates to his home. It's been over a year and a half since we've seen one of his awesome creations but I'm happy to announce the streak is over! Welcome to Frank's family theater room reveal! When Frank and Lauren, my sister-in-law, moved into their home, they had an unfinished basement. Frank had big plans for this space and has done an amazing job with the makeover. You remember the basement bar right? Modern and classy. This was one end of the basement, there's a whole family room in the middle and on the other end is a set of white double doors. Open them to find this - the family theater room: A large, plush sectional hangs in the back, complete with large pillows to support you when sitting up or laying down watching your favorite flick. A large fabric ottoman is in center to rest your feet or for more room for guests. This distressed tray is a great spot to place drinks or snacks! Movies are projected from the overhead projector (complete with a ceiling outlet) onto this HUGE screen! It's 110” diagonal and has a reverse picture frame boxing (or sunken picture frame).  ...
