Before the renovation, this living room was completely separate from the Dining Room in this charming 1930/40's Spanish Bungalow home. The renovation removed the large wall between the rooms opening up a great space for entertaining and family living and added windows around the fireplace, refaced the mantle, enhancing the natural light. The entry to the kitchen was made larger to further enhance the open flow of the living space of the home. I worked with the client to define a contemporary style that reflects them and to select all the soft finishes and furnishings to achieve that style. I recommended the paint palette for all the rooms. And I also consulted with them on the hardscape finishes for the adjacent hallway bathroom renovation in line with their contemporary style.
