Today we continue to show you the rooms in our new house, and we are so happy to share the family room reveal.\u00a0 This room did not exist when we bought our new place.\u00a0 However, while I was out of town, Mike and our architect put their heads together, came up with a plan for to add a family room where the original patio was located, and then surprise me with the drawings when I came home.\u00a0 Friends, let me tell you that this space did not come easily.\u00a0 We had to knock out a brick wall, remove two existing fireplaces (the one in the family room and the one in the bedroom above it) hire three different cranes to get a custom-made steel beam in place, build a fake chimney to satisfy the historic commission, deal with weeks and weeks of rain that delayed the whole process, dig up our yard and landscaped courtyard when the plumber realized he didn’t run the gas line to the new gas fireplace and more.\u00a0 It was worth it, though.\u00a0 Get ready for lots of photos so grab a cup of coffee and settle in.\u00a0 Let’s take a look.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Townhouse<\/p>\n

This is the view as we enter the room from through our Dutch door and mud room.\u00a0 We showed those spaces in this post<\/a>.\u00a0 The wooden beam is actually large pieces of wood reclaimed from a New York City skyscraper.\u00a0 They are “wrapped” around the steel beam that we added, and they give the appearance of an old solid wooden beam.\u00a0 It’s one of the things everyone comments on when they come into the house.\u00a0 That is where the original brick wall stood.\u00a0 The sofa is where the original fireplace and chimney were located.<\/p>\n

\"Townhouse<\/p>\n

Here’s a view from the opposite side.\u00a0 The black floor lamp came from here.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Townhouse<\/p>\n

We used the furniture we had in our last place with a few additions.<\/p>\n

\"Townhouse<\/p>\n

This side board was in the dining area before.\u00a0 I wanted to make it look less formal, so we added the cute plaid stools<\/a> underneath.\u00a0\u00a0 I purchased them here<\/a>.\u00a0 The art above is an old French map of the United States.\u00a0 I bought it at a flea market in Paris and since we rode our bicycles across the country, it fits right in.\u00a0 The lamps are from Home Goods.<\/p>\n

\"Townhouse<\/p>\n

I also had a piece of glass cut for the top and plan to add some grasscloth wallpaper under the glass to take one more step to “dumb down” this piece of furniture.\u00a0 I’ve read that cherry furniture is out of vogue, but I really like this sideboard.<\/p>\n

\"Townhouse<\/p>\n

I love that the legs are the same hue as the seagrass rug<\/a> which we purchased here<\/a>. \u00a0 I bought the antique Persian rug in Atlanta at a blogging conference.<\/p>\n

\"Townhouse<\/p>\n

This new family room reveal shows that the room is long and narrow.\u00a0 It was built over the previous patio which they removed during construction.\u00a0 We used windows rather than French doors because I didn’t want a wall with two French doors and one Dutch door.\u00a0 The Dutch door won because it is my favorite door style.\u00a0 The windows look out into our new courtyard.<\/p>\n

\"Townhouse<\/p>\n

We still love our Samsung Frame television.\u00a0 I change the art frequently.\u00a0 I wrote about it in this post<\/a>.\u00a0 You can purchase one here.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Townhouse<\/p>\n

Our carpenters built the mantel to coordinate with the one in the dining room<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Townhouse<\/p>\n

I love the monogrammed acrylic tray that I received as a Christmas gift.\u00a0 You can find it here<\/a>.\u00a0 The candle is a bourbon\/vanilla scent and smells delicious.\u00a0 Find a similar one here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Townhouse<\/p>\n

The family room opens up to the kitchen.\u00a0 You can see the island stools behind the sofa.\u00a0 This end table is a new purchase.\u00a0 You can find it here<\/a>.\u00a0 The lamp came from Home Goods.<\/p>\n

\"Townhouse<\/p>\n

We are really enjoying this new space and hope you have enjoyed our family room reveal.\u00a0 The room suits our needs perfectly.\u00a0 We enjoy watching the news together while I cook dinner, and it’s a great place for movie and sports watching, too. I actually have another piece of furniture being delivered tomorrow for the room.\u00a0\u00a0 We will be sure to show you it, too.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Take care.<\/p>\n
