This remodel updates a typical 1960’s design that was dark and enclosed by raising windows and doors, removing low eaves and interior partitions that blocked views to the outside. The ceiling is sandblasted, interior dividers are taken out, and bathrooms are enlarged and updated.

A modern glass fireplace an Ortal Space Creator 120 organically separates this sunken den and dining room. A set of three glazed vases in shades of amber, chartreuse and olive stand on the cream concrete hearth. Wide flagstone steps capped with oak slabs lead the way to the dining room. The base of the espresso stained dining table is accented with zebra wood and rests on an ombre rug in shades of soft green and orange. The table’s centerpiece is a hammered pot filled with greenery. Hanging above the table is a striking modern light fixture with glass globes. The ivory walls and ceiling are punctuated with warm, honey stained alder trim. Orange piping against a tone on tone chocolate fabric covers the dining chairs paying homage to the warm tones of the stained oak floor. The ebony chair legs coordinate with the black of the baby grand piano which stands at the ready for anyone eager to play the room a tune.

The Ellen DeGeneres Westwood Rectangular Dining Table crafted by Thomasville features a floating skirt design and legs with brass ferrules. It can extend to 124" with two 20" leaves (included). The Relaxed Mid-Century collection from Ellen DeGeneres features a blend of Danish and Italian inspired details. Hand-planed walnut veneers with a warm Mid-Century Walnut finish complement brushed brass hardware which sets the aesthetic tone for this furniture collection. Additional details such as cane, bronzed glass and rich leathers are introduced on select pieces to add depth and enhance the overall richness. The upholstery features a blend of fluid, enveloping curves and tufted traditional seating. Sofas range from curvaceous, flowing forms to angular, tufted, tight seat designs. Upholstered accent chairs with hand formed frames and a Mid-Century Walnut finish inspire movement.
