Bragging about the Country

Dining Room turned Family Room

In previous decades this room had been used as a fancy Living Room. During my husbands childhood this room had been turned into a Dining Room. However, because it was a room that only had the opportunity to be used a few times a year, it eventually turned into a room that was almost never entered and slowly became a hoarding den! The walls had been papered cranberry red with a boarder running along the ceiling in a paisley pattern. This made the room very dark and gloomy. I decided it needed a face lift. It already had great potential as it had beautiful stained glass windows above the bay window, nice think trim, and sliding wood doors. I decided I wanted to brighten it up and use this room on a regular basis, not only because it could be beautiful but because the flow of our house depended on it. So it became our television room or Family Room. The space beyond the wood sliding doors wasn't really quite big enough to be its own room as it sat between this room and the front entrance hallway. I decided to leave the wood doors open at all times and allow the family room to spill into that joining room. It now works as an office/den space.
