Before: The fireplace wall includes nice built-in bookshelves with covered cabinet storage, but the TV is crowded there and not in the best location for viewing.Hosts Matt Fox and Shari Hiller transform a family room to fit into a home where all the other rooms have already been made over (check out what they did in the adjoining kitchen
that was stuck in the '80s!). They replace furniture, move the TV change the lighting to make this last space really come together. A new sectional offers loads of seating, its neutral color will last for years and the look can easily change with pillows and throw blankets. The TV is now to the right of the French doors so it's easier to see.
