This is the Before picture of living room small coffee tables. The client had used a decorator years before, to create lush cerulean blue velvet sofas and silk blues and taupes full length curtains, but she never liked the little coffee tables and thought they looked too "farmhouse" fro her escetic.

Rather than buying new tables, we opted to use a decorative painter, the talented Pat McMahon, to paint them black and add a gold trim.

The client wanted more glamor and sophistication in her renovated brownstone apartment on Revere St., Beacon Hill. This is the After photo of over the mantle, showing new mirror and sconces paired with existing decor.

Italian-style antique mirror sourced from my wonderful friend Carl, of Carl Todisco Antiques, on Arlington St. If only he hadn't retired!
