We transformed this room from an outdated southwest style space to this elegant Spanish style living room. The fireplace was redesigned and an arched passage to the dining was added to better define the spaces. The balance of materials that help create this space are the old world terra cotta tiles, smooth plaster walls, hand carved stone fireplace and rough wood stained ceiling. Furniture, decorative lighting and accessories by Irma Shaw Designs.

With three active kids running around the house, having ottomans instead of coffee table(s) was the most functional choice for comfort and lack of worry about hard edges. No more parents yelling 'get your feet off the coffee table'! Why fight that when we all want to do it!?

THE FAMILY ROOM: "I have seen many magnificent and precise homes that yet were cold. However, this home is different. IT has unique moments. It is immediately comfortable. The way the rooms communicate to one another is as good as I have ever seen." (Frank Macri, President Andrews/Birt Advertising * Newmedia Minneapolis/Denver). This Family Room is oriented toward 'Finger Rock' of the Catalina Mountains beyond. The design is bright and airy with the spaces of the Family Room, Kitchen, and Nook flowing together. Heavy chamfered doug-fir beams with beautiful corbels add character at the ceiling level. Plain slump block masonry is given life by the 'Adobe Mortar Wash' finish, as black hand made wrought-iron detaining at the mantle, bar/foot-rail, and kitchen fan hood, (not seen here) help tie the spaces together with a common material of unique application.

I was hired by Janis Pelletier, real estate agent with Berkshire-Hathaway to stage this home for sale.
