In the family room, the clients had already installed new built-in cabinetry, refaced the fireplace, purchased the major furnishings, and painted the walls an earthy red. To the existing seating, we added a second comfortable armchair in front of the fireplace to create a more convivial conversation grouping. We re-purposed their vintage sideboard as a console behind the sectional, where it conveniently stores dishes and barbecue tools for alfresco dining on the adjoining patio. Fabrics in a mix of patterns on the toss pillows and drapery are the finishing touch.
