Okay, just a quick update on the Family Room.

There was just something about what I'd done that wasn't sitting well with me. It didn't seem to have much... personality?... to it, so I made some quick changes, here.

As you can see, I wasn't happy with the mantle over the fireplace, so I replaced it with a live edge one that spans to also cover the built-in bookshelves. I've also increased the size of the picture windows around the fireplace as they had just seemed too small. the other picture windows I dropped, mainly because the one looking into the "Catio" had the top of it visible, and secondly because the other one was sitting way higher. They're both now evenly placed. In moving the one by the door, I had to adjust the placement of the pictures on that way so that they weren't creating a diagonal line on that wall. I also added the framed set of pictures under the television of my friend and her roommates. And lastly, the couch had rendered strangely previously as it's supposed to be a black leather sectional so I fixed that.

Also, here's an outside view of the changes, from standing under the tree looking at the chimney.

I might either change the bricks on this fireplace/chimney to match the one in the Great Room, or change the stones on the Great Room fireplace/chimney to match this one.
