Bare and Boring

Dear Christine,


I was so happy when I found your blog. My family room and I are in need of your help. It looks bare and boring. It is a rather small family room but I know it has more potential than what is or is not going on in it right now. I would love to be able to achieve that finished, polished look. I would love to hear your ideas on anything from wall hangings to furniture, color, layout, drapes, or whatever else you feel this room would benefit from. I would like to paint this room soon and maybe acquire some additional furniture pieces but wanted to wait for your advice. I look forward to your help. Thank you so much for your time and interest.





Sincerely,


Mary Kate Telles





Mary Kate,


Can you tell me the dimensions of your room (A, B, C and D- as I outlined in drawing)? Any colors that you like or don't like? How many people would you like to seat in this room? What is this room used for mostly? Is there a TV in the armoire? Any book or other storage needed? What would you describe is your style? Do you have kids or pets that I should take into consideration?

Thanks,

Christine
