I began working with the owners of this house in 2013. We started with the living and dining rooms. No new furniture was purchased, but the rooms transformed when we changed the wall and ceiling colors, added lighting and light fixtures, rearranged artwork, rugs and furniture. We softened the windows and added privacy with very simple linen Roman blinds. We used the same linen to slipcover the sofa. Early in 2015, we tackled the most difficult room. The relatively small family room has disproportionately high ceilings. We worked to minimize the "elevator shaft" feeling of the room by replacing the previously "wimpy" mantel, surround and hearth with a design and combination of materials that stand up to the height of the room. In addition to treating the two sets of windows stacked at ground level and again at 8' as one tall window, we painted the ceiling chocolate brown which is reflected at floor level by the new rug (Dash and Albert - Nigel) and hearth stone. The chocolate brown ceiling extends into the foyer where we hung Circa Lighting's phenomenal "Kate" lantern. Victoria Mc Hugh Photography

A neutral palette is the backdrop for bold, yet soothing, teals and blues. The juxtaposition of the rustic table and natural branch screens with modern lighting and art creates a dynamic space. Back-lit willow branches enhances the room's depth and creates an interesting shadow play on the ceiling as well. An over-scale iron sphere chandelier balances both the height and width of the room. The gorgeous Karastan rug in teal and taupe paisley anchors the space with vibrance and sophistication. Julie Austin Photography
