After a decade of being bi-coastal, my clients decided to retire from the east coast to the west. But the task of packing up a whole lifetime in a home was quite daunting so they hired me to comb through their furniture and accessories to see what could fit, what should be left behind, and what should make the move. The job proved difficult since my clients have a wealth of absolutely gorgeous objects and furnishings collected from trips to exotic, far-flung locales like Nepal, or inherited from relatives in England. It was tough to pare down, but after hours of diligent measuring, I mapped out what would migrate west and where it would be placed once here, and I filled in some blank spaces with new pieces. They bought their recent Craftsman-style home from the contractor who had designed and built it for his family. The only architectural work we did was to transform the den at the rear of the house into a television/garden room. My clients did not want the television to be on display, and sticking a TV in an armoire just doesn’t cut it anymore. I recommended installing a hidden, mirror TV with accompanying invisible in-wall speakers. To do this, we removed an unnecessary small door in the corner of the room to free up the entire wall. Now, at the touch of a remote, what looks like a beautiful wall mirror mounted over a Japanese tansu console comes to life, and sound magically floats out from the wall around it! We also replaced a bank of windows with French doors to allow easy access to the garden. While the house is extremely well made, the interiors were bland. The warm woodwork was lost in a sea of beige, so I chose a deep aqua color palette for the front rooms of the house which makes the woodwork sing. And we discovered a wonderful art niche over the fireplace that the previous owners had covered with a framed print. Conversely, a warm color palette in the TV room contrasts nicely with the greenery from the garden seen through the new French doors. Photo by Bernardo Grijalva

Il soggiorno è caratterizzato dal mobile tv, dal camino e da uno spazio lettura progettato su misura. Il colore scelto come principale è il bianco, a cui viene accostato un tono di arancione molto acceso. La particolarità consiste nell'allogazione del colore stesso; con il colore arancione, infatti, vengono messe in evidenza alcune parti cruciali della stanza. In questa casa non esiste un corridoio, tuttavia il passaggio è segnato da una quinta composta da listoni in legno.

we've taken a traditional living room and turned up the heat with rich colors of rust and olive green accented with exotic wood credenza and cocktail table. leather warms the fireplace bench and mohair velvet softens the sofa. crushed velvet sparks the nailhead chairs and sophistication reins.
