I’m slowly but surely making progress in the family room, and I can’t wait to show you everything very soon! In case you missed the design plan for the room, here it is.
For now, let’s talk paint. I finally painted the walls in the room, along with the kitchen since they share one long wall. I opted to go with Benjamin Moore’s Gray Owl (same color as our bedroom), as I really wanted something light and airy. Of course, to get the job done I had to bust out my all-time favorite set of paintbrushes from Zibra. (Stay tuned for a giveaway at the end of this post!)
These are the two brushes I used.
For this room, I opted for the angle brush to cut in along the ceiling and baseboards.
I used the triangle brush for the corners, and I rolled the rest of the wall.
These brushes are seriously game changers. I’ve used a lot of different paintbrushes over the years. I’ve chosen to partner with Zibra because they truly are my very favorite brushes. They are high quality, each of them are designed with a specific purpose in mind, and they hold paint amazingly well.
For more info on all of the specialty brushes that Zibra offers, be sure to visit them online and connect with them on YouTube and Facebook.
As for the rest of the family room, we found a Mid-Century credenza on Craigslist which will serve as our TV stand. Here’s a peek at the painted walls too. They’re a very light gray, and for now this is about all I can show you since the rest of the room is still a hot mess! More progress coming soon though. (Also, excuse the photo quality as I had to shoot this with a long exposure in a nearly pitch-black room on a rainy day.)
I’m working on the fireplace right now, and then I can bring the new rug into the space. It’s all coming together!

The corner brush looks super handy! I’ve never seen one like that before.
I’d love to give some of these a try. I have a room full of beadboard to paint, and spraying isn’t a great option for various reasons.
Love the color and good paintbrushes make all the difference.
I’d love to try the Chiseled Wedge Brushes!
I’m getting ready to start painting all the things. This will come in handy.
Thanks for the chance.
Love the direction you are going for! I have blues and grays in my office. I like you can add a pop of almost any color in choosing accent items.
Thank you, Donna!
I’d love to try the triangle brush – looks quite interesting.
The palm pro brush looks great! Unique design. Fingers crossed!!
The 2″ angle would be perfect for the projects i’ll be working on this winter
2″ angled brush for trim this paint brush would be amazing to have cause i can never seem to get this perfect
I would love to try the no-tape edge and roll!
I would love to try the palm pro and the triangular brushes. I love the dresser/credenza you found for the space, too!
It’d love to try edge and go. I hate all the prep involved with painting and we have several rooms to get started on! Eek!
It looks like by your mood board that your family room is going to be beautiful. I especially like the intricate, wood coffee table and the use of blue. It’s my favorite color! I checked out the paintbrushes and I really like the 2 inch angled brush and if I had one, it would really come in so handy. I am planning to paint my living room, hall, and bedroom.
The chiseled brush for edging because that is always the hardest part for me. Theses brushes look very well made.
Erin I love your family room plan! The wood tone from the dresser is such a pretty balance to the cooler tones and Gray Owl looks gorgeous in there.
I would love to try the no tape edge and roll because I hate taping.
The No Tape Edge-N-Roll looks like it would be easy to use and helpful along edges.
To paint it just to cover those ugly walls in the every room.
