Jane, that room turned out so pretty. love the bird lamp and that tray. I think hydrangeas and some natural items in that tray would be perfect. I know you'll choose the right items.
I like all the things you did. Those little trunks look really nice painted and stacked. Seriously the hot glued large paper clips work great to hold plates.
Jane, the gates are delightful and ground that wall just right. These accents you showed today are very pretty and you know I love your sofas. hugs, olive
What a beautiful room! So many pretty things that add just the right touch.I will definitely be checking out the website you mentioned. Thanks for the info!
Hi Janie... oooh, everything looks just beautiful! I love those cute chests with the bottles on top!... and your shabby little birdies everywhere look adorable. You have such a magical way of putting it all together...that bulb tray is fabulous, and I can't wait to see those pretty plates hanging up... your cookies looks delish too, I would have eaten a ton of them!... xoxo Julie Marie PS UPS guys should be knocking at my door any minute with my purse!!! I have Tessy on the lookout for him!
Well done Jane! I love it! The textures, colors and whimsy are just perfect! It's sunny here and nice today too. It sure makes my mood better. Going to Arizona in 2 weeks! Can't wait to see my grandbaby, she will be 7 months soon! Hugs friend, Think Summer. Cindy
Jane Hi-5 to you..you did an outstanding job..it's looks so warm yet cool..I also just found that web site and they have some really neat things..Thanks so much for sharing more of your beautiful home with us..May you have the BEST day ever my dear friend..Hugs and smiles Gloria
Hi Jane...it has been a while since my last visit. I am loving your new room. I have embraced the weathered chippy look too. And love the birds. Finish off those delishcious looking cookies and enjoy your day. I enjoyed visiting. Maryrose

It looks beautiful, Jane. You did an amazing job pulling it all together. It looks like a very comfortable and soothing room to relax in. Those cookies look pretty good too!
O,what a pretty room, Blondie. You are really getting your home all pretty. New kitchen....new family room....I LOVE new things. You surely are doing a great job on it all. Just beautiful. xoxo bj
I love all the details in your newly decorated room. Everything looks so lovely and fresh. And those plates will look awesome hanging on the wall surrounding an old window frame.
As always, you've hit the nail right on the head with your redo! I think I could just take a cup of tea, and settle in for a visit! Thanks for sharing! Sandi
I don't think a home can have too many dried hydrangeas and what about some hyacinths for the bulb tray. They must be out or almost out for Spring over your way. Oh the possibilities.
Glad you had a nice Valentine's Day. I just love the great touches. The dove gray paint is just perfect. The cookies look luscious too. Cookies are definitely one that I have a hard time having just one. I had leftover frosting from my ombre rose cake but decided not to make sugar cookies to use it up on as I would have eaten the whole batch!
Looks like you've been busy Jane, Everything looks great! Love your little chippy half table, I used to have one (wonder what happened to that?). I think we got your rain:@)
You've got some great pieces, Jane! I love those gates! I'm still looking for shutters {narrow} for over my fireplace to go with my picture. If these gates were narrower they might even work. I'll bet you're glad to have this room done!
Great accessories. I have that same tray from Antique Farmhouse. I have it on my dining room table with candles and preserved boxwood trees. It needs something else but I can't decide what. I had no idea it was called a bulb tray! Guess I didn't read the fine print. Your house is lovely. You should be so proud. Have a wonderful weekend Jane!
HI JANE!!! Oh man, Good job on the family room!!!I love the stuff you found at Home Goods, I have got to get back in there......so many cute things, Love the chests you painted.....great idea!!!! OH I would love a cookie by the way....I was still sick and did not bake anything.....I even forgot to get hubby a card....so I made him a home made one!!!! Have a great weekend hugs 2 U, jamie
I love your new bird lamp and that tray is so unique. I just realized you are in MI. I'm from there and all my family is there except my Mom. We lived near Selfridge Air Force Base. Have a great weekend!
Lovin' it, Jane! All those little touches are perfect! You must love sitting in your new room. Those plates are so pretty! Have a wonderful weekend. xxoo
yum to the cookies! I love those gates on the wall--they look great. It all looks so nice! I'm sure you are glad to have it about done and now sit back and enjoy your work! Nothing like fresh and new!
What a pretty room! It looks like everything came together beautifully. When I saw that bulb tray sitting next to those plates, I thought about how good it would look with some similar themed items in it, like napkins, forks and cups. Hope you have a nice weekend :)
Ohhhh I love the room and I am drooling over the sofa and coffee table. Looks like my favorite store pottery barn. The accessories are perfect. Simply gorgeous. When can we come over and try it out!!! Have a great weekend.
Wow, dear Jane, the chests look sooooooo fantastical. I love them and your living looks great!

[Image]Today the sun is shining after days of gloomy weather...I hope it stays like this for awhile. Valentine's Day has come and gone. I hope it was a special day for all of you. The Husband brought home a sweet card, a chocolate rose and a gift card to Starbuck's. He knows me so well and he knows I love gifts! I didn't bake anything special as I usually try to do, but yesterday I was in the mood for something sweet and made a batch of shortbread cookies. I have to give you a close up shot because I ate quite a few! [Image]Other than one small wall, I am pretty sure the family room is completed. These are the little chests I showed you in my last post. They were a lime green and now they are a pale dove gray. I have a lot of extra pillows stored in them. [Image]I found this lamp at Homegoods and have it on an old chippy table I had. This is next to the corner chair and is a perfect place to curl up and read. To the right you can see the curtains that I found at JC Penney's. They are simple white linen panels and super inexpensive. [Image]I found these gates at Homegoods also. I wanted a pop of dark colors to go with the coffee table and I love how weathered these are. [Image]I found this tray at a website that is new to me, Antique Farmhouse. It's called a bulb tray. I haven't figured out what to put in it yet, God knows I have enough dried hydrangeas to go around. [Image]And here they are, on the sofa table! This pitcher is very much like the one on the coffee table, just smaller. And I have some of my favorite birds scattered around. [Image]FINALLY...these are the plates that I want to hang. I have one more wall with nothing on it. I have an old window at the lakehouse that I want to hang with the plates around it. I found these at Anthropologie. I was actually thinking of doing a tablescape with them before I hung them! Maybe I will.
So, this is the final reveal of the family room. I will show you that last wall when I get it done. Thanks for all the tips on hanging the plates, I have to pick up some of those wires the next time I go to Michael's. And thanks for being so patient looking at these pictures and leaving such nice comments. I can honestly say that every room here is done!! Now, as for the lakehouse...
