living room

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 …
