1. Thanks so much! I love pictures of white rooms but I can’t live in one. 🙂

2. It is so nice to see some color in a room. I love the red and the curtains which complement it. There are so many houses out there that are all white or off White. Your room really stands out !!

3. It looks beautiful! Love the rocking chair!

4. Thank you for your help.

5. That’s a bummer, I think it will be too high for a TV, if the other look is what you are going for. Maybe look for a cabinet that will work for your TV and you can re-purpose the other cabinet into something else.. craft storage, desk, etc.

6. It doesn’t come apart. It is a broyhill and its chin high. I hate to get rid of it because it is so pretty. On the left is where you put music and on the right is 2 doors that open and TV goes in there. Any ideas? Thanks!

7. No it doesn’t come apart. It is a broyhill and its pretty tall. On the left is where you put music and on the right is 2 doors that open and TV goes in there.

8. Does the entertainment piece come apart? IF so then you could just use it as I did for a table top.

9. I have a beautiful entertainment set but I don’t want the TV inside the cabinet anymore. I want to get a larger TV and put it on top of the entertainment set. But would that look funny?

10. The TV cabinet is latex paint (mindful gray from sherwin williams) with glaze and distressing. I do all my furniture by hand unless it’s a big project that the sprayer will work better.

11. Hi Sonya, I am a diy girl. I love the color on the tv cabinet , is it chalk paint also. Been deciding whether or not to use chalk paint, do you do by hand or a sprayer? Love it Maggie

12. I bought that lamp a long time ago at Sam’s of all places. The lamp shade came from HomeGoods.

13. I love this! Where did you get that lamp next to the couch? I love the height and shape!

14. I’m so happy you found me! Thank you for your sweet words. I look forward to checking out your blog. Have a great weekend ~Sonya

15. Hi Sonya! I just found your blog via this post pinned on Pinterest! We have much in common. I am married w/ two children — 15 and 19, our son the oldest. — and I love Jesus too! How have I never seen you in blogland before??? I’m not as much of a DIYer as you — but I do enjoy the occasional craft, and most of all keeping our home a welcoming place for everyone to come home to. I am your newest follower! Can’t wait to read more. ~Sally @Drinking From My Saucer

16. Thanks Danielle! I don’t find things like that very often, so I was happy with myself. Heading over to Pinterest to find you.

20. Love your blog. Such a pretty room! I don’t think you need to hang anything over the TV – I think it looks great as is!

22. What a beautiful cozy room Sonya! I just painted a dresser/tv stand too… my next project is a large vintage looking sign to hang above it… maybe you could make a sign? Or a series of family pictures in matching frames?? Can’t wait to see what you come up with!! What a cool coffee table!!

27. Sonya – I’ve been blogging since 2006. That makes me an ‘old timer’ I guess!

    I’m trying to kick my blog up a notch (or two) and noticed that Karianne is now offering blog consulting. And then, I noticed that you have used her services. You both have great blogs!

    I’d love to hear more details about your positive experience with Karianne’s blogging help. Feel free to email me directly with any comments or suggestions.

    And yes, men bloggers (especially those related to home, craft, and family) are few and far between. But that’s okay. I’m in good company!

    Thanks for replying to my comment,
    Mike

28. Thanks Christy! Last August when Ray told me he ordered a new TV, I only had a few days to find something for it to sit on. It was really fate that Saturday and I absolutely love it.

31. Great-looking family room!

    The whole room looks really nice…and I’m especially liking the vintage basket. A great way to store (and display) magazines.

    P.S. I found your blog via Karianne over at http://www.ThistlewoodFarms.com.
