Family Room Makeover Reveal
Family Room Makeover Reveal
It’s hard to believe that it was only 6 weeks ago when 200+ Designer/Bloggers took up the challenge from Linda of Calling It Home to makeover a room in our house in just 6 weeks. Â We had just moved into our house only 6 months prior and the house was just screaming at us. Â We didn’t like the color of the walls, the fireplace was a negative focal point and there was no light ceiling light fixture.
The dreaded before pictures:
There was no ceiling light:
The fireplace was a negative focal point in the room.
Our house backs onto a conversation area and this is our view out the back. Â You can barely see the houses in the distance. Â You really feel like you’re in the country looking out of our family room.
I wanted to bring that country feel to our family room but still reflect that we do live in an urban setting so I created an Urban Country family room.
The Big Reveal – After Pictures:
We love our room now. We spend so much time there as a family and it finally feels like our own space.

Family Room Makeover  | Week 2
I’m Debi Collinson. Designer. Stager. Real Estate Investor. In 2006, at the request of a realtor, I staged my very first home. Staging houses was just starting to become popular. I was very nervous staging my first house, but the sellers liked their newly redesigned home so much that they turned down an offer for full asking price. I went back to design school and have never looked back. Since 2006, I have been staging & styling spaces to make them look like they belong in a magazine page, and buying “fixer uppers” to fix up & either sell for a healthy profit or to rent them out. I’m currently living in my 8th “fixer upper.” Sign up to receive my e-mails of how to make your home stunning, how to sell your house for top dollar AND how to become financially independent one fixer upper at a time!
