Family Room/Hearth Area Needs Help (pics)
Comments (10)Thanks all. I like the idea about painting the white trim....but it's a bigger job than you might think. Whatever gets painted in the family room also needs to get painted in the kitchen. The problem is that the new windows in my kitchen have white hardware and inside trim so painting the moulding on them would look weird. The mantle has actually been painted. It used to be off-white, now it's fauxed...can't really tell from the picture! I had it custom built and wish I had made it larger...oh well. Thanks for all the comments. I'll leave the plant out of there and get larger tools. Maybe more pillows for the chair/loveseat....See MoreCommon sense/common knowledge - maybe not so common?
Comments (65)re: cow names - I was a city kid moved to dairy country. Learned all those terms, but the hardest to remember/figure out was Polled Herford vs heifer. And with horses, the difference between a colt and a foal, colt being kind of the generic term many use incorrectly for a foal. That definitely wasn't the limit to my ignorance about country living, that's for sure, but the folks there were equally ignorant about some of the things those of us raised in the city were more familiar with. Usually it has nothing to do with brain power, just exposure. One of my favorite stories about common sense is a cousin who married young, with no domestic skills at all (her mother did everything for her). I was visiting and her husband went to the kitchen to get us some refreshments. He call out, "Susie, why did you put the ice cube trays in the freezer without filling them with water?" She replied, "But we didn't NEED ice cubes." She's not lived that one down....See MoreHelp needed in designing family room and dining area
Comments (110)looking good sunil. just get what you like. Something that fits the space. colors don't have to be exact. once you get the drapes, the room will be done! (maybe do a tall plant in the corner by the window)...See MoreDining Area in Family Room?? - HELP!
Comments (3)I think those two arm chairs will have to be relocated, but it does seem like you have space for a small table. Maybe a smaller cafe table and two chairs would look better than the drop leaf, it's just a little more mature looking so it should fit the space better. Also, if you want a little more separation between the living room and dining section, try moving the TV to the back short wall and moving the sectional accordingly. The back of the sofa would face the fireplace/table. It would just help visually define "eat" vs "relax" a little better....See MorePatricia Colwell Consulting
