Furnishing a New Home for an Active Family

Over the past year, I have been working on several home styling and home decor projects. This, in addition to lots of interiors photography work has been keeping me busy but also lighter on the blogging side of things as you might have noticed. The good news is that a lot of the projects are getting to the point where I can share them. Today I am excited to share the results of furnishing a new home my friend and neighbor, Pam.

Pam’s family bought and renovated this home in town last spring. When I came to see it, I fell in love with the gorgeous floors and the amazing natural light. Besides that, she had pretty much a blank slate ready for furnishings and styling.

Although we are almost done with a few other spaces in the house, today I want to share the progress in her main family living space.

Pam’s style is farmhouse-inspired, but personalized with a healthy infusion of modern and natural elements. She is very much drawn to neutrals and bringing the outside in. When I saw the beautiful wall of windows on the back wall, I was inspired to bring a conservatory feel into this space.

Before

Here are a few photos of what the main living space looked liked when I first saw it. As you can see even from my badly lit iPhone photos, it really was a great space ready to come to life! All we needed to do was bring it together with furnishings and a purpose.

After

Now for the fun part…what it’s looking like now! This main living space is super long and has two big rooms parallel and open to each other. That setup made the furniture plan a little tricky at first, but I think we came up with a functional arrangement that really works for Pam’s family.

Kitchen breakfast and bar area

How cozy is this little coffee station and bar area?

The kitchen has this amazing skylight that just pours onto the white marble countertop.  Pam always has a fun new cookbook she is trying out. I love cookbooks too, except mainly just for the photos. She actually cooks from them 🙂

Kitchen

I am a huge fan of this type of furniture set up if you have an extra spot in your house. I think it is a cozy and inviting way to encourage people to stay a while.

Lounge area and dining room

So what do you think? I love all the little moments and details that are part of this family home now. This is a great example of how furnishing a new home takes time but makes all the difference.

Looking forward to showing you more progress on this and other projects very soon!
