Happily Ever Before & After Week 1: Coastal Cottage Family Room/Four Generations One Roof


Hey Everyone!!!
Remember a couple months back when I said I was gonna be starting a new segment on the blog called Happily Ever Before & After?! 
Well, I decided that it is finally time to kick this thing off!! 
Are you with me?!
Ever Friday, I will be featuring a fabulous room makeover from a very talented blogger! I will share one main “Before” picture & one main “After” picture and then provide you all with a link to check out the room in its entirety! Once a room has been showcased, it will go into a collection of links on the “Happily Ever Before & After” Page where you can easily find it again. As more & more rooms are showcased, that page will continue to grow and will be a great source for you as my readers!
*Please Note: I do ask that if you choose to “pin” a photo from these segments, that you do so from the link I provide (rather than from my site) that way the blogger who is being featured gets the credit! Please & Thank you!!
Now….onto the first beautiful makeover!! 
I’m so happy to be showcasing this GORGEOUS Coastal Cottage Family Room from Four Generations One Roof! Jessica is the author of this fantastic blog & I had the pleasure of meeting her earlier this summer at the Haven Conference! She is such a sweet person & has the coolest Boston accent! 🙂 She also has a pretty awesome sense of design style…..check out her new family room!!
First, a “Before” photo…..A very brown, very traditional, very dark family room……
Turned a Bright, Airy, & Cheerful new space …..
Can you believe it’s the same room?! 
I love the wall color, the wood planks, & all of the beautiful yellow accents throughout the room!!
What is your favorite part?!
