Take a tour of my house - the Family Room

I believe our home is considered a tri-level home without a basement. So on the main level there is the living room, kitchen and our sunroom addition. Then from the kitchen you can go either up or downstairs. If you go down you will go to the family room, laundry room, a bathroom and the 4th bedroom. If you were to go upstairs from the kitchen you would find a bathroom and 3 bedrooms.

So here I will be showcasing the family room. This room had wallpaper on one wall when we moved in which is still on the walls...for now. I want to take it off and paint the wall someday. The wallpaper isn't horribly ugly, it just isn't my style.

This picture was taken just after we bought the house, but before we moved in. The items on the shelves were the sellers things.

BEFORE:


Now this picture was taken a little over a year after we moved in. It is taken from the top of the stairs by the kitchen nook.

I love this room for it's coziness. Especially in the winter when the fireplace is going. This is where we watch movies or where the boys will gather to watch football or car racing. I fell in love with the shelves when we were looking at the house, now that I own the house I can't seem to get the shelves "just right" so we are constantly moving stuff around on here!

AFTER:
This picture was taken standing by the TV area (which is across from the couch) looking back towards the stairs that lead back up to the kitchen nook. This is a very comfy recliner that came with the very comfy couch my sister-in-law gave us!


This picture was taken from standing behind the chair looking towards the bathroom/laundry and the 4th bedroom. There is a linen closet in between the bedroom and the bathroom, then to the right of that bathroom is another large closet that actually goes along under the stairs and the hot water heater in another "closet". Just under our kitchen nook is the crawl space that has tons and tons of room for storage also.
