Media Room and Recreation Area

Like the rest of the house, the rec room is decorated in browns and tans. The camel-colored walls and russet-colored, low-pile carpeting make the darker pieces pop and offset the caramel fringed throws and toss pillows.

The deep-cushioned, pale jade of the sofa provides the room’s brightest color. It folds out to sleep two comfortably, and the bedclothes can be stashed in the nearby wicker chest. A matching love seat upholstered in the same fabric faces a pair of sleek black leather club chairs across the coffee table.

And what a coffee table! Its wide, unfinished plank pine top is mounted on sturdy legs of bark-covered logs and affords plenty of room for board games or a buffet of munchies.

The stacked-stone fireplace features a mantle made from a worn wood beam and a cubbyhole that houses the room’s 72-inch wide-screen TV. While the TV is the focal point of the room, Woodrum has tucked it away so it doesn’t dominate the room’s stylish furniture and design elements.

Because a busy rec room can get cluttered, Woodrum planned for a lot of extra storage. The club chairs have a slope-sided wicker basket for a side table, perfect for storing board games and extra pillows. Behind the sofa, a trio of mesh lanterns rests on a parsons table that’s home to a pair of wicker boxes for stashing all those magazines that seem to find their way into every rec room.

The room is filled with fun, funky wildlife art. A trio of wood-carved antelope heads burst through the fireplace mantle in a humane homage to hunting lodges. Frogs, oxen and other four-legged creatures are depicted in ink prints in blacks and browns over the love seat and elsewhere throughout the room. A pine-trimmed picture ledge runs the length of the kitchen area and is perfect for displaying etchings or other objets d’art.

"If you have a home with both a living room and a family room, I think it’s important to make them very different from one another," Woodrum says. She set out to create a relaxed, come-as-you-are meeting place in the house; she succeeded with a space so comfortable and appealing that visitors may be tempted to pull out the sleeper sofa and stay awhile.
