My Favorite Room & Spring Tour

Hi Friends!
It officially feels like Spring in the
Northeast & I am lovin every minute of it.
How about you?
 
A few weeks ago I shared 
My Favorite Room &
Spring Tour at
 Savvy Southern Style.
I was honored Kim invited me to share my favorite room in her guest series.
I thought I would share the tour with all of you in case you missed it.
 
 
My favorite room in my home would have to be
my family room.
It is the heart of my home and it is a space that sees it ALL. If the walls could talk  they would speak of quiet & peaceful moments in the early morning, when the sun gleams in through the windows that overlook the bay, they would speak of days of chaos & excitement  as 2 little boys grow, explore, learn & use their imaginations and they would also speak of nights of calm, where 2 friends still very much in love, find a few minutes alone by the fire while their fun seeking, happy little boys are fast asleep:).
 

When we first moved into this home (after house hunting for a long, long time) I was in awe.I would get up early, come down to this room, open the shades and just take it all in. I would watch the sunrise over the water, each time it felt like the very first time and still does. 
This room is where our day to day moments of life are lived & cherished, it is a place we gather with family & friends,where we give LOVE and truly treasure the simple moments together.

Welcome to my Spring Family Room....

    Darling, Jen.
    I love this room too!
    You have one of the best talents in blogville when it comes to upcycling.

    Every time I spy that old stereo/HiFi cabinet it reminds me of the one we had in our home when I was a little girl. My dad used to blast his favorite music and lay on the floor in front/center of it. I guess it was his version of "ipod".

    I pop in to navigate your City Farmhouse often! Thanks for being so gracious to share your creative process of design and most recently, your colors!
    Happy Easter to you and all of your loves that cozy in that wonderful family room!

    Beautiful room!
    No spring feel here yet. Easter will be much colder than Christmas was. Weird situation.
    But nevertheless: Happy Easter!

    OMG.
    Shopping CL just now, the very 1st sale I clicked on was your credenza. I have just clicked on a sale that has the two end tables matching it :http://images.craigslist.org/3Ee3G73L45N85I35M5d41bd1c153566df1bd6.jpg, and a table matching MY coffee table! Just thought I'd let you know if you're in the Wash, DC area at all. I love your work. Thanks!
