Our Family Room- Before and After Makeover

I've been wanting to post these before and after photographs of our family room remodel for a while now. My husband and I wanted a more vibrant home, so we went with Tricia Guild fabric for our couch, chair, and curtains.  Initially, we were going to go with a green shade on one side of the room, but decided to stay with the dolphin gray shade instead.  Here are the before and after photographs.

Before:  The bay windows were covered with bamboo shades, as well as the sliding door, which was actually covered with brown and white sheer curtains.

And, now, for the "after" pictures:

After:  Green sofa reupholstered with Tricia Guild fabric.  Pillows and curtains, also Tricia Guild.  Tocca chest was a dark brown painted white, and still needs to be completed for a more distressed look.

After:  Chair, which used to be orange, tan, and brown, reupholstered with Tricia Guild fabric.

(We are still looking for a cover or miniature rustic/vintage cabinet to hide the electronics on the bottom, left nook!)

Also, this family room still needs at least two more chairs and, maybe a rug.  I'm also in search of some pretty, bright-colored candles for my gorgeous candle stick holders!

Our Family Room (remodel not yet completed)

The brick is finally completed and will be painted white in two days! 

We've been in our house since 2003 and finally decided to remodel. This is our family room which used to be cluttered with furniture, curtains and bamboo shades that blocked out the hot, burning, Arizona sun.  We've since decided to go for a less cluttered look, get rid of the curtains and bamboo shades, and go with a completely different look!

The white walls were painted a dolphin fin shade, bricks were installed wrapping around the family room, chandelier installed, custom turquoise-painted French doors, and a wooden top to cover our fireplace mantel. We decided to go with brick painted white, which will be done on Thursday!

We also had electronic retractable sun screens on the exterior of our windows for use during peak sun hours!  We're so happy with this decision, as our windows have been covered all these years, keeping us from admiring the beauty of the mountainside!
