There’s a time for decking out your bar with luxurious crystal stemware and $80 bow-tie shaped wine bottle stoppers, but that time is not amidst a massive full-home redesign. (Actually, it’s debatable whether there’s ever a time when an $80 wine stopper is appropriate, even one shaped like a bow-tie, but I digress…)

After completing the tile wall behind our coffee / wine bar, it was time to move on to the main event: backsplashing the rest of our kitchen. (Spellcheck continues to remind me that “backsplashing” is not actually a word, but I’m going to keep on using it anyways).
Once we had finished (mediocrely) backsplashing the wall behind our wine / coffee bar, it was time to add the finishing touch: floating shelves!
We’re still several projects away from being ‘finished’ with our family room, but picking out a few key pieces of furniture helped this room move leaps and bounds towards becoming an ‘after.’
The Challenge: our downstairs has a great open layout, but a tiny living room. The Solution: finding the right sectional to maximize space, without scrimping on style.
Gallery walls are a quick way to add color and life to a space, with a side order of style.
