Family Room: Interior Design Plan and Furnishings

Today I’m sharing the interior design plan and furniture selections for our family room! As always, shout out to the fabulous ladies at Heather Scott Home and Design for their help putting my vision on paper. We actually finalized the selections and ordered some (but not all!) of the furniture you’ll see in this post back in March. Everything was set to be delivered this month, but unfortunately the sectional and two lounge chairs have been delayed until at least September (foam shortages are to blame). Which is disappointing, but such is life sometimes. If I’ve learned anything renovating and designing, it’s patience!

Let’s start with the layout…

Family Trip to the Frio River

I’ve had some requests via Instagram for the link to the house our family stayed in on our recent trip to the beautiful Frio River. I’m giving it a permanent spot here on the blog so I can easily point you guys to it in the future. Definitely save this link if you’re interested in taking your own trip to the Frio!

The Liz List - July 8, 2021

Hi! It’s me again.

When I sat down to write this, I quickly scrolled back through old blog posts and was shocked to realize it’s been almost an entire year since I last published a “Liz List”. Which is sad because these regular Friday posts were always my favorite to put together. If you’re new here, it’s where I give mini-updates on what’s been going on behind the scenes and what I’ve got planned coming up + I link to things that are inspiring me or interesting articles I’ve read or link shoppable items I’ve had my eye on… really any and everything on my radar I think is worth sharing.

This week has been nice because I feel like I finally got my mojo back post-move. And yes, I know the move was in April! It’s taken me a while to feel settled here and to recover (both physically and emotionally). I now have so much more empathy for people who move! I’d never done a move of this scale - with a toddler no less! - and it’s hard. Also, lately I feel like I’m FINALLY able to see above the fog that was the year 2020 through early 2021. Does anyone else feel like it’s taken you this long to feel like yourself again after the pandemic, or is it just me? I’ve just now reached the point where I can look back on it with some clarity and can tie a bow around the lessons I learned from that experience. It’s a nice feeling.

On the home front, I’m working on a few different projects…

Family Room: Before Pictures and Renovation Update

There’s finally some construction progress happening this week! Sub-contractors have been in and out almost daily working on odds and ends in various places around the house. Electricians, flooring installers, cabinet makers, A/C company, mirror & glass guys, painters, roofers, power washers, A/V technicians… the list is long! There are a lot of little projects happening, but the main space I’m focusing on right now is our family room.

We’re renovating the family room first because we’ll need a space to hang out as a family and watch TV, etc. during phase 2 of the renovation. In phase 2, we’ll completely gut what I refer to as “the Great Room” which is our kitchen, pantry, breakfast nook, casual living space and fireplace area, plus the laundry room. When that project begins (there’s no timeline yet!), it will be nice having the family room completed so we have somewhere cozy to hang during construction.
