Our first room to tackle is the family room; this is the room that we tend to spend the most time in (mostly because it has the big TV). For this makeover the plan is to remove wallpaper and chair rail, paint, install new carpet, install some shelving and move in the furniture.

The paint colour that we’ve chosen is Behr Sandstone Cove (middle)
It’s warm and light, but still has enough colour to stand out against white trim. I never thought I would even paint a room beige, but I guess there is a first time for everything. We are trying to match the paint and carpet to these pillows from Ikea (KAJSA RAND pillows), which match the couch.


We ordered this from Empire Canada. They come right to your home with samples. I love shopping at home.
I know we’ll need some colour in this room since I don’t want it to be all beige and gray. I’m thinking RED would really spice it up. What colours do you love to add a punch of colour?
