I had the hardest time with the family room since I couldn't find any Art Deco cabinets that would suitable for entertainment units. I broadened my search to include
Art Nouveau and then I found one I loved. The Art Nouveau period came right before Art Deco so pieces still go together quite well. The white cabinet is early French Art Deco which was sort of a transition period between the curves of Art Nouveau and the more angular geometry of Art Deco. I think it ties the two styles together nicely.
My real inspiration for the room was the painting
The Starry Night. I choose pieces that mimic the swirls and colour palate. The couch originally a wretched olive green but that is the only piece that I changed.

Side note:
My dad is such an engineer. He doesn't understand how I could be planning what furniture to put in without making a floor plan of the house first.
I guess I'm just too practical. The furniture does look nice though.
