Progress: Family Room

So, after a little over 3 weeks of living in our new home, we were finally able to get the sectional we wanted for the Family Room. Before we moved we had decided on one that we liked from American Signature Furniture; unfortunately, that store doesn’t exist in Charleston. We looked around at some local stores but weren’t impressed, so we decided we had to order it online and drive to Columbia, SC to pick it up from Value City Furniture (affiliate store of American Signature). So here it is:

It’s modern and the dimensions make it a perfect fit for the corner between the 2 windows. I love the dark gray color (great for hiding any spots caused by my kids) and the fact that the back pillows are attached. It’s causal enough for our family and everyday lounging but it looks great as the focal point of the room.

As for other design elements in the room, they’re a mix of old and new.

Lime Pillows (old): originally bought from Marshall’s for 2/$20

Woven Nate Berkus Pillows (new): Target clearance for $7.50 each

Multi-colored Chevron Pillow (new): Ross for $11

Overall, I’m pleased with how this room is coming together. I’ll continue to add accessories, family photos, etc. Eventually, I would love to add some paint to the walls because the builder white is so boring! I will probably get a larger ottoman or cocktail table to replace the 2 cube ottomans, and I need something on the wall behind the 2 chairs. I would love to hear what you think and if you have any suggestions. And if I left out any info about pieces in the photos, just ask…I don’t mind sharing.
