Sunburst DIY, Roman Shade Tutorial, Easy Cornice DIY
Finally here is the reveal of my sisters family room makeover!!
This particular wall has some fun wall decorations on it but they were spaced to far apart..
On the main wall the TV was blocking the cute old window and there was no fabric window treatments above the blinds
We decided this desk area needed some ooomph with some shelving to create a built in look
This is the during picture of the room before we moved the large shelving unit on the right over to the other side of the room where the desk is. Also you will notice we took the clock out of the room and softened the windows with some easy cornices we made
We brought up the skinny shelving unit from another room in the house and placed it on the right side of the desk then we moved the big shelving unit over from the other side of the room and put it on the left side of the desk to create a built in look.
It just made a huge difference flanking the desk with shelving!
Moving the large brown chair to the corner and hanging the old window above it and adding a floor lamp completed the look on this side of the room
After taking the down the old window and clock we tried this idea of multiple frames above the TV but Tiff wanted something bigger up there and that’s when we came up with the idea of the Sunburst!
Spray painting one of the ceiling medallions grey and adding paint sticks created such a fun large focal point.
We found some fun orange and grey patterned pillows that really help to tie the room together and make this sofa feel comfy.
Over in the corner we used some of her wall art (ceiling medallions) hung one over the other and it really worked perfectly!
It was so fun to work on this makeover with my sis! it is so fun to use what you have to create a whole new look!
Enjoyed the project?

Lot of nice upgrades. Totally different look. The starburst looks amazing. Love the cornices. Flanking the desk with the bookcases gives a separate office space feel. Shelves would give a finished look. Looks like everything is well organized. Great share

Yes if you click on the blue link where it says cornice tutorial near the top of this post…it will take you to the tutorial. I used a type of foam board so it’s very lightweight and easy to make. Let me know if you have any questions.
