I’m excited to reveal pictures of one of my favorite projects I’ve been working on … the living room of a wonderful young family.
Because everyone loves a good before and after photo, I’ll start with that.
Before
After

As you can see from the before picture … we pretty much started with a blank slate. The room held some old furniture and toys …
My client wasn’t sure if she should reupholster the red chairs or get something new. While I love the idea of reupholstering furniture to give it a new life, in this case I convinced her that we needed chairs with more height to fill that wonderful space in front of the window.

What I loved about my client is that she wasn’t timid about going with all of the pattern I threw at her: stripes, medallions, florals, geometrics.

Because this is the first room people see upon entering their home, I wanted to do something dramatic. The result is an interesting and dynamic space that at the same time feels serene and elegant.
Here are some more shots …

I love this collection of colorful Parisian street scene photographs.

We needed a very thin console for this wall, but were able to create lots of visual interest with a mirror and some simple accessories.

The custom designed striped curtains provide the perfect backdrop to this sitting area.

Although we didn’t keep the old chairs, I did suggest that with a few coats of paint, this desk armoire could still be perfect in this corner.
My client and her dad did a beautiful job painting it …

What do you think?
I hope my client and her family will continue to enjoy this cheery spot in their home.

Wow Amy!!! It's just beautiful! Genius!
Great living room design- love the use of all the fabrics and all the patterns…in fact, I've used that blue/green print on the sofa pillows myself on a project!
This is beautiful!
I just found you thru Emily Clark's blog and I love the work you've done! What a transformation!! May I ask, where did you find that coffee table. I've been looking for one like that forever (it feels like forever). 🙂

Love it, I found you through Emily's blog. What is the name of the wall paint color? I'd like the color for my bedroom.

It's a gorgeous room- interesting and still personal looking. We just bought that same coffee table for our living room! 🙂
Can you share where you sourced the wingback chairs? They are beautiful!!

Beauiful job!!!
When I saw this on Emily Clark's blog my jaw literally dropped! I love how you used color and pattern but kept things simple and clean. I am currently BEGGING my husband to let me be your next e-client!
This is fantastic. I love the drapes and your great use of patterns. Well done. Fun to have found you via Emily.
Think this is fantastic mix of patterns and loved what you did with the space. Would love to know where the chairs and rug are from. Absolutely love them!!!
