Marker Girl Makeover – Room for Two

 

Marker Girl Room Makeover

Concept
This project was for an “empty nester” couple who wanted a fresh and updated look for their family room. This room had not been decorated in quite a while-20 years in fact! Their needs – a room that makes them happy, felt opened but still had to be easy to care for and be comfortable.

Focal Point and Fabrics
The windows are such a beautiful feature in the room and a unique shape I opted not to add drapery. The end result quite a dramatic update. We used woven fabrics that are durable and practical for the main upholstery pieces since the owners love being outdoors on their patio and by their pool….

Colors
We used more updated colors – whites with a nice mix of blues and greens to create a light fresh clean look. Wall Color is Sherwin Williams Aloof Grey

A Personal Touch
We created personal touches by reusing some pieces  –  Reframing artwork they had.

 We were also able to reuse their old mirror but spraying it silver to go with the new look.

The Finishing Touches
And simple accessories/accents in glass and wood were used to bring balance adding the finishing touches and custom artwork to pull the room together.

Imagine walking into your living room to find your toddler covered in marker along with your furniture! My daughter's "Marker Art" was a defining moment. It was then that I reinvented my business to find the very best family-friendly furnishings and solutions for my client's homes.

My blog shares the very best of what I have learned about family-friendly design these past 18 years.
