Family Room Updated and Ready for Popcorn: Before and After
Written by faith | View CommentsAs an interior designer, before and after images are often requests I receive from website visitors and new clients. When I started with these clients they had lived in a houseboat on Lake Union near downtown Seattle. Then a fabulous property on Lake Union became available. This townhome features amazing views of mountains, skyline and the water plus also offers a cozy family room. But it sorely needed new furnishings except for the big screen TV.
Take a look at what we did.

A new arrangement is both conversational and perfect for watching sports and movies. All the furnishings are from my favorite company, Hickory Chair. The addition of a game table affords another conversational area. The owner loved to sail and I used black and white photos to emphasize and support that interest. More memorabilia is on the open shelf unit too.
Furniture from Hickory Chair: Marshall chair; Cate side table; Gunnison leather chair and others.
The outcome of the design concept introduces paint and color finishes in the wood side table and etagere. A sheer texture drapery fabric over wood blinds combines to add a sense of coziness, warmth and intimacy.
