Freshen Up Your Family Room

Family Room, Before

When Scott and Diane Carroll and their two children moved into their Fayetteville, Arkansas, house four years ago, they gave the family room a fresh coat of off-white paint and that was it. As for furnishings, the room was relegated to leftover pieces that hadn't found homes elsewhere in the house: mismatched sofas, a clunky coffee table, and too-formal plaid wing chairs. With the kids getting older, Scott and Diane wanted to remake the uninviting hodgepodge into a place their brood would hang out in after school, and where they themselves might entertain. Mission accomplished, with just a few key changes.
