Same Look For Less – Sophisticated Family Room

November 8, 2012 By Vidya 2 Comments

Without wasting much time let’s dive right it.  Again this week’s inspiration mood board is from The Washington Post (Wa Po) House Calls section. Designers Frances Temme and Linda O’Connor of O’Connor and Temme transform the bowling alley like room into a cozy and sophisticated space. The space oozes with class but at a price tag of $7,962 for their Splurge version and $7,112 for their Save version it is over my budget. So if I was trying to recreate the same look in my home, this is what I would do;

    I like your console and glass lamp better than theirs, so you did good.
