This great room once doubled as a full-time play zone—equal parts family space and shrine to my son’s toy collection. It was lively, full of love, but not exactly cohesive.

The goal wasn’t to erase that energy, but to refine it - to keep the lived-in warmth while giving the room a little more intention and flow. A few smart storage pieces, softer color tones, and more balanced furniture placement turned it into a space that feels both elevated and effortless.
