My Family room re-design has begun........

I'm currently in the process of re-designing my family room. This time around, I'll be going in a totally different direction. My goal is: less patterns all over the place & a variety of items in yellow & gold to tie things together. Let me know what you think....... & if any of you know where I can purchase a solid yellow throw cushion (similar in color to my inspiration photo) please leave a link in the comments. Wish me luck, I've got 3 items so far, just a few more to go!

  2. Honestly why not checkout Walmart for solid colored cushions? I was just there yesterday and I think their home section has improved some ;) Or, if you have a Marshall's or TJ Max? They have cool, unique home things. Coming along great though!! Love the colors!! ;)

  18. hey you! i love love love love love this look you are going for. For the yellow pillow I think you can make it so easily and save tons of money. I just made my first pillow this weekend and posted a DIY...it was simple and turned out perfect. you could buy the white piping trim (or any other trim) and use it in place of the pom poms inthe DIY:

    I love that wallpaper too...I haven't decided if i am doing the artwork or the wallpaper just yet...but it will have to go behind and over my flat screen tv..that is the only wall space available as i have a large window behind the sofa.

  29. My boyfriend is dying for a sectional - I think we would both love the one you chose. And yellow will look great. It's such a sophisticated, cheerful color.

  46. Jen thanks for the comment today : )
    I love this room it is so bright and cheery. The "side table" takes me back to my commercial furniture days. We would call that a "box box file" and it would usually sit under a desk or in a cubicle. The silver works great in this room. Great to see it repurposed here. The ottoman fabric is fantastic as well. Looking fwd to the outcome!
