Family Room Makeover Reveal with Sherwin-Williams

This is sponsored content from BlogHer and Sherwin-Williams.

It’s here. It’s finally here! My husband Michael and I finished our family room makeover and I am thrilled to share the before and after photos with you.

Thanks to the fabulous Chip It! tool by Sherwin-Williams, we came up with a blue/yellow color scheme that brightens up our family room and is now a place where the whole family loves to hang out.

Let’s get started.

Remember these old couches and bare windows? Well, we didn’t find a sectional that we loved, so for now we have some pretty navy blue couch covers until we find exactly what we want (I can be so picky sometimes!).

We are happy with the new look!

I searched high and low for some curtains that I liked. When I saw these blue and white designed drapes I had to snag them up immediately.

I painted the walls a light gray {Sherwin-Williams Misty} using the color palette in this previous post.

Remember the old end tables?

After some sanding, priming, and Sherwin-Williams Fun Yellow paint, we had end tables that provided that pop of color I was looking for!

I grabbed some favorite fabric and whipped up a few coordinating throw pillows…

…that gave the couch and loveseat that finishing touch!

Next up??

My favorite part of this makeover process! The fireplace.

I needed bookshelves in a bad way. Michael bought a couple of Ikea bookshelves and trimmed them with molding on the top and bottom. He also created a new mantel using 4 corbels and a wooden shelf.

I absolutely love how this space turned out and now I have a place to put many books!

I had so much fun accessorizing around the Chip It! palette we chose. Most of the things I already had on hand and I spiced up with some paint and printables!

Finally, we finished the blank, boring wall!

We put up some batten and board using Sherwin-Williams Extra White, threw up recent pictures of the kids, and voila…no more boring wall!

I cannot believe the transformation in this room. Friends and family members stop by and can’t believe how different the basement looks. It’s fun to receive compliments after all of the hard work that was put into this room.

I want to give a huge thanks to BlogHer and Sherwin-Williams for giving me this opportunity to achieve my goal this year to re-do the basement. My family thanks you, too!
