REVEAL DAYS ARE MY FAVORITE DAYS. While the magazine (Better Homes and Gardens) is about to hit newsstands (revealing four of my favorite rooms in my brother’s house that you haven’t seen yet), this room wasn’t done in time to shoot, so I get to actually reveal it earlier (and hopefully get you excited for the rest coming soon). You see, the sectional we had in here a couple of months ago was one of ours, a sample of The Bennett that wasn’t ready for me to approve at the Texas factory, so I had to wait to approve it in Portland. Then once I sat on it, I knew it had to be tweaked. So we reworked it to make it way better, got the new one, and finally finished styling this cozy family room for my brother and his fam. This room is a cozy green cave, proving that green can be so warm when mixed with warmer tones. Let me prove it to you…

Introducing my first U-shaped sectional, and it’s a pretty great one. I’m equally obsessed and proud. It’s a one-and-done piece of furniture, which isn’t that easy to shoehorn into a room you might already have other pieces for, but if you are designing from scratch or rethinking it’s a great way to keep a TV/family room feeling simple and yet so comfortable. Plus, you’re able to sit so many people. We originally designed this room with the cub velvet sectional, but when I redesigned the sectional it they didn’t have that fabric in stock so they did it in one of the other fabrics we were carrying it in, “evergreen” which is a green linen blend (poly blend and really, really soft) and once I saw it at the factory I said “ship it on up”. I actually think this fabric is better for their family, a bit more forgiving with dog hair, as it has more thread variation. And again, for a linen blend, it’s super soft and cushy (not stiff at all).
