This is the family room and kitchen, it’s an open concept. The client purchased a slipcover sofa in a white performance fabric. Her concern was that she bought this piece before hiring me, so she wasn’t sure it was going to work in the space. I made it work, I added a white shag rug, a leather recliner, a stripe accent chair and a storage ottoman in a velvet fabric. I love how all these pieces complement each other. It’s not a huge space so I didn’t want to overwhelm so I chose (2) glass side tables and a glass sofa table. The chairs we chose for the dining and counter area made with gray leather. The breakfast table is an extendable table in a brown finish. I accessorized with the blues, whites and neutrals all throughout the home.

With respect to the notion of old-meets-new, the kitchen strikes a comfortable balance between materials. For the center island, Franklin repurposed original barn siding into cladding for the unit, painting it grey. The Corian counter top and stainless steel backsplash provide a cool contrast. A set of antique barstools was a fortunate find for the homeowner. Sourced from a local bar that had closed, all they needed was a little elbow grease to realize their full potential. It took days to remove years worth of nicotine stains from them, but as Franklin exclaims, "It was worth it because the old stools found a new home in an old barn!" The partial wall was designed to address a number of functional and aesthetic concerns. Dividing the workspace from the storage space, it keeps the pantry area out of view, and allows light to carry through this area of the home. Franklin also uses the wall as a means to display his growing teapot collection. "It’s funny," he confesses, "but I think they can entice people to sit down, have a cup of tea and converse (Imagine that in this world of technology!)" Adrienne DeRosa Photography
