Firefighter JV works four jobs in order to provide for his family, and when he isn't working he's finding ways to give back to the community. Well that, and stressing over how to make the living room safer for his growing, ever-exploring kids. So his wife Sara decided it was time to take at least one worry off her husband's plate by calling in Cheryl Torrenueva, Roger Morin and the Reno Set Go team for a little help. Here's how they surprised JV with a colourful redesign that had everyone feeling a little more safe and sound.

A Brilliant Entrance

The result is an immediate punch of colour and design when these homeowners come home, giving them a stylish space to tuck away shoes and coats.Reno Set GoWe're Seeing Green With This New Family Room and EntrywayA Brilliant Entrance

The Custom Bench

3/15Rather than stop the arms of this bench at the actual stool height, Roger extended them so that the finished look feels even more like a cohesive, finished piece. It reminds us of a giant chair or a throne, but a heck of a lot more comfortable and stylish.Reno Set GoWe're Seeing Green With This New Family Room and EntrywayThe Custom Bench

A Spiffy New Living Room

7/15Safety was the name of the game in this living room, and Cheryl obliged... all while making it completely fabulous of course.

Bursts of Colour

9/15Helping to bring all of the colours together and drawing the eye are throw pillows in yet another brilliant orange-pink hue.

A New Media Centre

13/15The mounted flatscreen is a nice touch but we love the built-in storage potential of the media unit itself. The floating style means that extra storage via baskets can also be added below, and that toys can be neatly tucked away when not in use.Reno Set GoWe're Seeing Green With This New Family Room and EntrywayA New Media Centre

15/15Last but not least, Roger installed this custom unit which is the perfect mix of functionality and design. The pretty arches on the shelves adds lots of interesting nooks to the space, while below there are even more storage options for toys and any extra textiles the homeowners may have. Safe, pretty, and space for the whole family... we'd say Cheryl and Roger hit the mark with this one.Reno Set GoWe're Seeing Green With This New Family Room and EntrywayCustom Storage
