PROJECT REVEAL - Family Room, Breakfast Room and Upstairs Loft

I’m finishing up sharing the photos of this project reveal with the family room, breakfast room and upstairs loft space today. The family room and breakfast room are all part of the open kitchen, perfect for an open concept family home.

I loved working on this job.

It was several years in the making, the family was living overseas during construction and we did all communication via email. While some of the design was done for spaces like the kitchen and bathrooms before they left, the rest was done long distance, even the furniture!

Family Room

The rug works with the color of the sofas and repeats the diamond pattern that we have at the hearth of the fireplace.

That fireplace is clad in a wood look tile that is a really good match to the wood floor. Even in person, you would never know the difference.

Breakfast Room

The breakfast room has a long, cerused wood table with comfortable, sturdy chairs in performance fabrics and vinyl seat cushions.

We did a gallery wall from their travels framed in a grid over these blue metal cabinets.

Upstairs Loft

The upstairs loft is for lounging and home schooling for this family. It’s a huge room but needed to be sectioned off for several purposes.

Here’s the lounge area for tv watching and video games.

Those little crocheted poufs are fun and well used in this space.

There is a central seating group with four swivel chairs on another colorful rug.

I did these photos myself, so they aren’t the greatest angles here, but I wanted to show the relationship between the seating areas and how the furniture works together. :-)

This is the one piece of furniture we reused from their previous home. Whenever you move overseas it is hard to reuse your furniture. A lot gets damaged and sometimes it isn’t worth moving across the ocean. This table was perfect here though, so I was happy we could use it.
