A Room to Live In

We recently finished up a job in Cliffs Valley and wanted to share some of the photos.

We started off with a couple of options for the main level living room furniture arrangement. (See options 1 and 2.)


Option 1

Option 2

The clients decided that the Option 2 furniture plan would work best for their living environment. So, we were off to buy furniture. We selected the furniture pieces and upholstery fabrics to coordinate with a tree-of-life motif we were planning to use for the window treatments(see below).


We also worked with a custom furniture shop to specify the design and dimensions of the TV unit. (See drawing of TV unit.) The same furniture shop made the bookcases in the dining area, along with the pedestal dining table.

The final touch in the living room was the rug. We worked with Davis and Davis, a custom rug company in Tennessee, to create a rug with the right colors and pattern to enhance the upholstery and drapery fabrics. The process was back and forth with sample renderings and color swatches, even a 24x24 strike off of the actual rug. (See rendering of rug.) The end result was well worth the wait! The rug made the main living area come together by adding a beautiful pattern of color under foot.

For the kitchen and dining area, we selected new fixtures to really pump up the quantity of light for task lighting. The additional light really helps with food prep in the kitchen! We also installed mechoshade screen shades for sun protection in the view windows, and we changed the paint color.

Overall, this living room make-over was quite the transformation and the space is now nice and cozy.
