This room you may recognize as our Fireside Room. Originally, the room was used as a dining room for the family of nine that lived here in 1906. When we bought the place, the plan was to do an addition and use this room as our fireseide room.  Our only source of heat, the wood stove, is positioned in the corner here.

Idea One

Choose one large piece of furniture or even a wall to change the color of. We decided to pull an old table out our shop and give it a coat of white paint.

Idea Two

Clear off one wall or section of a wall completely.  I finally took down our gallery wall for this refresh.  This the perfect time to patch nail holes and do some touch up painting.

I replaced the wall decor with some simpler pieces that made me think of spring. The grainsack wall hanging I made for my daughter in the DIY Farmhouse Gift Ideas post.

Idea three

This one is my favorite! Shop your house for small pieces of furniture, you can get a ton of mileage out of these by floating them from room to room.  I pulled two white chairs from the living room, you may recognize them from Reupholstering an Antique Chair.

The church pew is off our front porch and the two bistro chairs are off the back porch. Once I had the “new” furniture in place, I just added pillows to soften the whole look.
