Our Family Room "Before"

This family room used to be an uninspired hodgepodge of flea-market finds. Disorganized shelves gave the room a permanently cluttered look, and the furniture was arranged solely for TV watching rather than for entertaining friends. Just outside was a deck that got so much direct sun it was nearly impossible to spend time out there during the day. See how these spaces got a family-friendly makeover!
