Rounding out the family room seating

January 21, 2013 by Erin Heaton

The nesting bug has kicked into full gear around here. I have some exciting projects coming up, but first, I’ll start off with this minor addition to our family room: a new blue-gray tufted chair.

Recently, we’ve noticed a need for more seating in this room. Elise is getting bigger and taking up more space and with another baby on the way, more seating is never a bad thing. Another person = another seat. Makes sense to me!

Initially, I was searching for a reasonably-priced loveseat to add, but that probably would have crowded the space too much. So we shuffled things around, brought the ottoman to the center to function as an actual ottoman and made space for the new chair. (It’s from Overstock!)

Funny how bringing in more furniture sometimes makes the room feel bigger. The TV seems farther away, but the whole room feels cozier and more comfortable.

    That new chair looks so comfortable but oh so handsome too! I also really like how your artwork is hung at different heights. It helps accentuate the unique sizes and also define the room. Cheers – CT

      Thanks! I mainly hung that painting by the chair low under the window so my toddler daughter could admire her own work!
