The project was to FINALLY create a finished and homie space in the house he'd been in for seven years. I'll be honest, I could hardly believe that in that length of time he'd managed to do next to nothing to make it a bit more lived in. We decided to tackle the first floor, including the living room, the formal dining room and sprucing up the eat-in kitchen.
The room had lovely picture molding but in order to keep things from looking too much like a dining space we opted to paint out the molding the same rich navy we selected for the walls.

Navy blue became the link between all three spaces and created the cozy and handsome look we were going for.
We anchored the lounge space with a somewhat traditional rug and added rich gold accents, wood tones and masculine touches like this leather strapped ottoman.

The Pottery Barn armless sofa was the perfect scale for the space. It was actually a sectional piece that we found deeply discounted and it's PERFECT! Don't be afraid to think outside of the box when shopping for furniture. Often with a little ingenuity you can make many castoffs work famously.
Isn't this just the perfect spot for a cup of coffee?
The Sherwin-Williams Naval paint color is certainly a showstopper. It totally transformed the space and while it does eat up a lot of light, it makes the space so much warmer and cozier. I'm actually considering it for my kitchen.
In the living space we essentially began at ground zero. While it was functional, it had absolutely no life.
We pulled together a plan that included a Bassett Furniture sofa chaise, color blocked drapes and these cool nesting tables from Hammary Furniture.

While we weren't sure what the console selection would be, I knew we needed something masculine and organic. When I stumbled upon this beautiful Hooker Furniture piece, I knew it was perfect.

We decided to hold off on painting this space for now and had to work with the existing wall color. I think the fact that we kept the builder beige give you a chance to see how much impact furniture and decor can have on a space. Take a look...
I love the custom England Furniture chairs. They were so streamlined and fresh...not to mention comfy.
Couldn't be more pleased with this one. The client says he's had a parade of people through the house that LOVE the result. Here's hoping it turns into more bachelor projects. : )
