For the living room, we chose to keep it open and airy. The large fan adds visual interest while all of the furnishings remained neutral. The wall color is Functional Gray from Sherwin Williams. The fireplace was covered in American Clay in order to give it the look of concrete. We had custom benches made out of reclaimed barn wood that flank either side of the fireplace. The TV is on a mount that can be pulled out from the wall and swivels, when the TV is not being watched, it can easily be pushed back away.

Well, not this one! When I purchased this floating home from my aunt and uncle, I undertook a huge out-of-state remodel. Up for the challenge, I grabbed my water wings, sketchpad, & measuring tape. It was sink or swim for Patricia Lockwood to finish before the end of 2014. The big reveal for the finished houseboat on Sauvie Island will be in the summer of 2015 - so stay tuned.

The great room area is now open with a modern, contemporary look. The stone accent wall plays off of the unique sloped walls and adds lots of character. The hardwood floors creates an open and larger feeling. Meanwhile the clean lines and usage of various different textures creates lots of interest. Everything makes the room feel much larger and open. Photo: Virtual 360 NY

This living room hosts an in-home daycare in addition to the clients' own family. We added airy wall decor in muted colors to balance the bold colors in the textiles.
