Need help decorating/furnishing family room
Comments (6)Would you have it in your budget to hire a professional to come up with optional layouts and furniture suggestions. If not, you should work with an online room planner and really consider your family's needs and a few seating/working areas. The paint color can really be the last things to consider, based on what you have selected in terms of art, drapery, couch, etc. and I would paint the trim at the same time as you are doing the walls. Look at inspiration pictures to help (not necessarily with layout but seating options, accessories, bookcases, desk/office needs, color combinations) and based on your taste for modern farmhouse, you may want to check Joanna Gaines' site for inspirations. This is a huge undertaking and will take lots of planning. In regards to your kitchen, changes really depends on your budget. http://www.hgtv.com/shows/fixer-upper/photos...See MoreModern Sofa Styles for Log Cabins
Comments (12)In my experience bonded leather sofas degrade pretty quickly ("leather" peels off) but a true leather Chesterfield will last forever. Velvet, on the other hand, is almost impossible to get "ick" off of. I would do a leather sofa in a saddle brown or white leather and then add blue velvet pillows and a blue velvet side chair that's cheaper to replace if it gets ruined. A sleeper sofa is also a good investment for an Airbnb. https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/omnia-leather-jackson-leather-sleeper-sofa-otl1790.html https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/design-tree-home-katrina-3-seater-leather-chesterfield-sofa-dsag1656.html https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/alcott-hill-potterslane-high-back-new-velvet-wingback-chair-alth2523.html...See MoreLog Cabin Basement Help Needed
Comments (4)Below is an article that just popped up on Houzz today that may be helpful. Do a search on Houzz and Pinterest for "great room log cabin" to get some ideas on how to bring out the warmth in a large panelled room with furnishings, rugs, art. You have such a big space, consider having two zones--conversational near fireplace and another for media and maybe even exercise area. It's understandable you're concerned about painting unfinished, rough wood--no advice there. Here's a room from the link that shows a panelled large room like yours: Below is a basement room showing a comfortable layout to media. You could float your sofa at one end of the space for TV and gaming, then set up a second space with lighter, unholstered seating in, say, reds, for conversation, exercise. Also notice how much the huge art adds to this one-window room. Oversized framed posters in subjects that would appeal to your family--travel, sports, etc.--would add interest and light to the space.

Comments (11)What color was it before? Stained or painted? If previously painted, then your options may be limited due to leftover paint in places. Will there be any chinking? What is your personal style on the inside? Woodsy? Beachy? I like log homes best when the wood is stained a woodtone and stands out! If it were mine, I think I'd go for a nice medium tone, not too different from what it looks like now. Not too dark, because there are already shadowy areas on the porch. Not too yellow, that would make the roof look more purple. Is this the front door? It needs to stand out much, much more. Maybe a arbor overhead? A prominent piece of art next to it, and paint it a really eye catching color! I agree about the downspout and rainchain, or even copper. Then I would fill the flower bed with ferns and hostas (if shady) or wildflowers (If sunny) It's a charming house!...See MoreRelated Professionals
