Cohesive Great Room
The Problem...
Lindsey and Patrick have young daughters and live in a beautiful colonial home. They spent most of their time in the family room and kitchen, and hardly used the formal living room or formal dining room. They wanted ideas on different uses for these rooms so that the family and their friends would want to spend time there.
- the Before -
Like most projects it isn't pretty, but it's a start!
The space felt a bit dark and as the family described - bland. It was time to take this drab before into a colorful AFTER. They needed more seating, more color, and more personality. So I waved my magic wand and ta-da! The reveal below.
After
The front formal living room was transformed into a dual-purpose space: office area for her and a craft area for the girls. Lindsey loves that she can now sit at a desk with a view of the front yard to be on her computer, while her girls create artwork just a few feet away. An art cabinet was placed in the room which has two large doors that swing out and contains a flip-down desk, with multiple bins to store and organize all the art supplies.
The Solution
the Vibe
We needed to nail down the look and feel of the project.
Also, their daughters are heavily into arts and crafts. All of their supplies were located in a hall closet, which was congested with materials and difficult to organize. They love the look of mid-century modern design and wanted to sprinkle elements of this aesthetic into the space.
After
A modern etagere divides this space from the Lounge area, carefully decorated with contemporary and modern decor. The lounge area was created as an inviting space for the adults to relax in and share drinks with their friends. They say they now use these rooms every day, and hang out there more often than in the family room!

- Before & After -
Take a look at the beginning and end result.
They decided to move forward with the Midcentury modern plan, swapping a few items for ones on the other board, and a list of products was provided for their approval. Photorealistic renders showing their selected products in their room provided the reassurance they wanted and they were so excited to see the room come to life. Since they were in-person / full-service clients, I handled the product sourcing, ordering, tracking, delivery, final installation, and styling.
As I said before the family now uses this space more than their family room. They were so happy with the results which makes working 1:1 with clients so rewarding.

- Sunroom Project -
"She provided designs for a sunroom (see pic), and most recently, she designed and ordered furniture for my great room. She was attentive to detail and helped me to balance "old habits" with a contemporary touch. People who come over comment on how comfortable and welcoming our home is! I'm so grateful."
