Better Homes & Gardens Family Room Refresh

When someone gives me a challenge I take it, but sometimes I  must admit, I take it with a bit of cautiousness. But when Better Homes & Gardens gives you challenge, your answer is an automatic, “Why YES!!! Bring it!”

Better Homes & Gardens at Walmart gave me an amazing opportunity to give my family room a “Spring Room Refresh” using  the new and affordable BHG line of products at Walmart.

Come and see how you can give your family room a fresh new look without breaking the bank!

I wish I could show you how the room looked before I repainted the walls and added new drapes, but I want to be real about my “before pic”.

To be honest, my before is not too shabby in my opinion.

The room has gone through some huge changes this past year since fall, like when I switched over from gold to Comfort Grey, but this is what it looked like before I refreshed it up for spring…

minus my boys’ toys, shoes, muddy socks, and my girls’ book bags, pony-tails,text books… etc. Trust me. This is a rare, pretty moment in our house…

…. but let’s turn it up a notch! Let’s make it a bit more “spicy” as my daughter now describes the room.

How about adding a deeper punch of sea salt blue pillows and brighter pops of red and sage with an embroidered texture?

Better Homes and Gardens Family Room Makeover  Isn’t it all coming together nicely?!

We are FINALLY & SUCCESSFULLY blending my past red and gold decor with the fresh and updated sea salt gray and sand colored decor.

Every room needs a bit of sparkle. I was shocked at how inexpensive these mercury glass-like candle holders look no different than my high priced designer holders.

And pair them with BHG LED lit candles. Go BHG@Wal-Mart!

Every southern girl needs a collection of serving trays.

I seriously fell in love with this eco-sustainable bamboo tray by BHG.

It is large, light, sturdy and perfect for entertaining indoors or out.

The first thing my kids noticed when they came off the bus was the pillows.

Pillows never last long ON the couch, but easily make their way onto our family room  floor, and hope to survive the nightly wrestling episodes.

My heart goes out to the beautiful embroidery of the Garden Mumsfield Pillow…. You are strong girlfriend to survive these 4 kids!

But the heartthrob is the soft and svelte Ivory Rosette pillow.

(They promise to stop snuggling up to you soon….. maybe I need to buy them a bunny????

naw… a buttery soft pillow is way more afordable…. )

Of course we HAVE to have the latest BHG mag sitting on our coffee table, right?

If you aren’t already relaxed enough then let the warm and cozy scent of cookies and vanilla welcome your family home in this beautiful ceramic  BHG Scented Wax Warmer.

(Don’t blame me if the kids are disappointed when they realize you didn’t actually make cookies!)

Because my family room is on the north side of my home, it totally lacks in natural sunlight, even though it has a wall of windows.

So I have found over the years that the addition of several smaller mirrors will help magnify the light in darker room.

I love this Distressed Black Quatrefoil Wall Mirror. I’m considering grouping several of them together now!

They are so inexpensive (under $15)!

    Great job! I love the colors … the pillows look beautiful in your fabulous space! Love the new vignette on your ottoman, too! The BHG products at Wal-Mart is awesome … I’ve scooped up quite a few goodies from their line before!

      Thank you! The sectional is from Pottery Barn. The fabric is their ultra-suede and cleans up so nicely. We love it!

    Kim,
    I looooove your coffee table!!! Where is it from?

    • Kim Wilson says

      May 13, 2013 at 12:22 pm

      Hi Jessica! Thank you! I ordered the coffee table from Joss & Main. It’s an online retailer. Let me know if you’ like an invite and I can send it to you. 😉

    Love your curtains. Where did you get them?

    Love this! Where did you get the blue pillows that match so perfectly and that red chair?

    • Kim Wilson says

      November 11, 2013 at 9:48 am

      Thank you! All the pillows were purchased at Wal-Mart! 😉

  14. Brandi says

    November 11, 2013 at 5:41 pm

    What about the chair? Where’s it from?

    • Kim Wilson says

      November 11, 2013 at 6:32 pm

      Oh geez, that is ancient, but it is a recliner (and our most comfortable chair) from La-Z-Boy.

  15. Brandi says

    November 11, 2013 at 7:21 pm

    Thanks! I love it! Looks so comfy and cozy. We are in the process of moving and I am buying all new furniture for the front living room. I want it to be lived in and not something that just looks nice! You definitely captured my vision! Love the colors!

      Pottery Barn! I love it! Everything washing off with ease. (I have 4 very messy kids!)

    Love this room! Using it as inspiration for our new home and family room! Could you add a close up or send me a pic of the curtains? Where did you get them? I am not good at coordinating fabrics, colors, textures, etc…. Thank you!

    • Kim Wilson says

      April 18, 2014 at 8:28 am

      Thank you Amber!
      That room is our favorite in the house. They are the “Cynthia Palampore Drapes” from Pottery Barn. If you go to Potterybarn.com and type in that name in their search box, you will find them easily. 😉

    I know this is an older post, but I was wondering if the drapes were still available and if you could tell me what they are called.

    • Kim @ Sand & Sisal says

      August 2, 2015 at 12:19 pm

      Hi Michele, They are from Pottery Barn. I can’t remember their name exactly. I’m not sure they still have them but you can check online.
