Originally on the plans as two separate rooms, redesigning this long space as a great room with three functional areas delivered the “Wow” factor every home deserves. The rhythm and proportions of the room feel comfortable. A feeling of organization is achieved through the repetition of ceiling coffers, large scale amber glass chandeliers and area rugs. In the forefront, the modern but casual vibe of the stainless-legged upholstered furniture and copper-topped side table imbue the media area with a sense of relaxation. The vibrant colors of the cerise and yellow window treatments and accent pillows are tempered with gray solids. In the center, the dining area is easily accessible from the kitchen and the wine server in the foyer. It is purposely more colorful and formal than the media area, as it is the focal point from the front door. In the distance, guests are invited to retire to the entertaining area after dinner to enjoy coffee and dessert by the fire. Gordon Beall Photography
