Another Family Room Sneak Peek
If you’re following along on my 2012 Decorating To Do List, you know that finishing our family room is near the top of the list. It’s where we spend most of our time in the house and I think that’s why I’ve probably redecorated that room more than any other. I’m not done yet but here’s a little peek at what I’ve been doing in there:
Remember the Danish chairs I bought in the fall? They got nice new blue covers thanks to my mom. (You know how I’m loving blue these days.) Now I just need to do my part of the project which is to stain the wood a darker color. Notice how my part hasn’t been done yet and my mom’s part was finished ages ago!
And check this out, the same chair on 1stdibs for $1200:
This makes me feel better about what I spent on them! I also just spotted the same chair at the Tenbosch House Hotel in Brussels:
That’s exactly the color of wood I want for my chairs. The whole hotel has great design by the way.
As you can probably tell I wanted to bring some color into the room so I brought in this painting (which is a very old one of mine) and that became the jumping off point.
I’m also trying out the orange Pop chair (from the living room) in here right now but we’ll see how long it lasts. I’ll have some more peeks as I get closer to crossing this room off of my list!

Writing lists and notes may be a mundane task but doing it in a nice little notebook turns it into something enjoyable. Plus, it’ll look cute on your desk and we all like cute desks, don’t we? So, are you a list keeper? Do you journal? Do you have any favorite supplies?
