Melissa's Family Room/Office

Recently, Melissa wrote to me about her family room/office space:

Hi Lauren! 

Thanks so much for helping us. I love your blog. We have a very large room (by Chicago standards) which is to become a family room and office. We're not sure what to do with the space!
 
Family Room: needs to be kid-friendly space where we can watch TV, hang out, read, etc. The paint color, carpet, and IKEA Karlstad sectional must stay.
 
Office: I am a wedding planner and needs gobs of desktop space as well as a place to store all of the goodies I receive. If the office wasn't shared with the family room, I'd do white lacquer with some frills... but that won't compliment the looks of the family room. I'd love a simple desk like the West Elm parson's with some super functional storage like the IKEA Expedit. We are also in desperate need of some color.
 
Cheers,
Misse
