The fireplace wall in the family room had been an eyesore since we moved in two years ago. We cycled through several different options for renovating it, ideally wanting to tear out the fireplace entirely and build a floor to ceiling fireplace in the corner. But we ultimately ended up doing the simpler (and cheaper) option which was having new built-ins installed and then painting everything white. It's amazing how much bigger the room looks now. We also finally got around to getting a rug for the room and actually hanging things on the wall. My favorite feature are the brass mid-century cabinet knobs from Schoolhouse Electric. The only thing left to do is replace the tiny ceiling fan with a new brass light fixture I'm eyeing (also from Schoolhouse). And buy my dream sectional (but that might need to wait until Simon is less destructive). I'm excited to decorate the shelves for Christmas now!
Looks fantastic!
